BEST ABSINTHE wins this competitive 1300-meter allowance contest for a $5,770 purse on the strength of his significant class advantage. Returning from a long layoff, the colt holds a distinct edge over this field based on his superior early-career form. ORVALHO DE HERMON looms as the primary danger for a top stable, while the consistent PARAMOUNT and recent winner HURKACZ should ensure an honest tempo. While fitness is the primary question, his natural ability is superior to his rivals. Provided he is tuned up for this return, the grey's quality ensures BEST ABSINTHE wins.

This 1600-yard turf maiden offers a $6,839 purse and features a clear standout.

URIEL provides interest underneath after an improved showing. Ultimately, the superior ability of the favorite makes him the one they all have to beat. NEW HIGH FLIGHT wins.

This claiming sprint for three-year-olds over 1000m on turf carries a $3,932 purse. KINGDOM LEADER looks the standout as the only runner in this large field with a previous victory. He showed great speed to win on debut and should control this from the outside. GATE FIVE is the main danger after an improved recent effort, while debutant WHAT'S GOING ON adds interest for a leading jockey. KINGDOM LEADER has the clear experience edge to navigate this scramble and should prove far too good for these rivals.

NEASDEN leads the way in this $3,932 turf claiming sprint over 1200 meters. The five-year-old enters in peak form after winning two of his last five starts and possesses the tactical speed to control this field. LOG ON remains the primary danger as a seasoned turf specialist with high-level consistency, while MARRON FIVE and CHARBELL have the credentials to secure minor honours. Despite the depth of this field, the recent dominance of the favourite suggests he will be difficult to reel in. NEASDEN is the clear choice to find the winner's circle today.

This fillies' maiden over 1500 metres offers a $7,000 purse and a clear standout in PAR EXCELLENCE. Returning from a lengthy break, she holds a significant class edge after her brilliant debut second. PICCADILLY also showed plenty of promise when runner-up last time and should track the early tempo closely. While UPBEAT looks a likely improver for a leading barn, they all have to catch the favourite. Her superior finishing kick makes PAR EXCELLENCE the selection to justify her tall reputation and clear this maiden hurdle.

TIAMAT stands out in this 1400-yard turf allowance worth $5,770, bringing a class edge that looks decisive. Having won two of her last four starts, the favorite returns from a freshening as the clear leader of this group. While DANNY BOND should improve in her second start back and OH WELL remains ever-reliable, they may be playing for second. ONLY ZUCA adds depth, but the race is built around the superior quality of Sampaio's charge. Expect a commanding performance as TIAMAT secures another victory.
