RAUSCHENBERG headlines this wide-open $6,000 allowance over 1400 metres on the turf. He should strip much fitter for his second start off a layoff and benefits from the booking of leading rider Fernandes. The main threat comes from GAMBLER BOY, who has been remarkably consistent with two successive runner-up finishes. CEDRUS also enters the conversation if he can recapture the form that saw him win three straight earlier this year.

ALPHA PAT WA is the one to follow in this $6,000 allowance over 1530 yards. Entering in peak form after winning his last start, he possesses the sharpest current form in the field.

This wide-open 1000-meter claiming sprint for a $3,932 purse looks a real puzzle. KAIAMBA ETE sets the standard after finishing as runner-up in three of her last six starts, showing a reliable level of performance that most of these lack. PHILIPPINES carries back class and GIZEM is always around the finish for Jorge Ricardo, but the real mystery is the debutante OZARA.
