STRICTLYCUMDANCIN has a prior engagement but on best form should get into the money. BEST OF THREE is also one to include in quartets. It would not be a surprise to see newcomer EPSOM DOWNS finish in the No. 1 box. The daughter of Tiger Ridge does not have to be a superstar to win this. Watch the betting!

Draws are always of major importance and FLAMING ACE gets the plum draw of No. 1. This will also be his third run after a rest and the son of Announce looks set make his presence felt. PYRAMUS stayed on well last start behind Permanent Bond and should get into the action. SPEKBOOM and TALCA must be respected.

ERIN is a decent sort and will be suited by this distance. She has run on a bit late in both her last two starts but should get it right here and is definitely the one to beat. VINO VERITAS comes back from a rest and can run into the money while SISTERS OF MERCY and KISSIMEE must also be considered.

LAVA FLOW was not disgraced when coming back as a gelding in his last start. He is a long striding son of Western Winter and should love the 1800m on the inside track. The draw is a slight concern. ALGHADEER was fluent maiden winner and should give another good account of himself while COMMODORE AL and CASSIE O'MALLEY can also run big races.

BERNADINE has finished runner-up in her last three starts and should go one better in this. She should be suited to the inside track and must be respected. MOONLIT VENICE is a gutsy sort and should get into the action. PHENOMENAL returns from a rest but has a shout if wound up.

The best bet on the card arrives in Race 6 as CHINA BEACH looks to be the right one. She won her only try over this course and distance back in September and has won again since. She looks hard to beat and is a confident banker. RAGING PRINCESS looks the likely exacta candidate while BESAME MUCHO and SEATTLE TRADE can earn.

SUEDETTE was not disgraced in a higher grade last start and must have a chance here. Her penultimate effort was also good and SUEDETTE is a lively runner. PRINCESS AURA has her second run after a rest and must be included while SAMBA SERENADE is not out of it. She is a course and distance winner.

DOING IT FOR DAN is on a hat-trick. He beat VIKING HERO (2,5kg better) by 1,5 lengths but appeared to have lots in hand and should confirm. ARABIAN NATIONAL needed his first run as a gelding and will come on heaps. KAYHALADIN is running well again and could get into the action. CHIEF SIOUX is won of many looking to take home a cheque.

ELUSIVE FLYER has never been far back in all 5 starts to date. He stayed on well last time over 2000m and should see out the extra. GOLDEN GLOBE has been threatening and could get his just reward. FRIKKIE is on the upgrade and shouldn't be far off. Look for improvement from POST BOX. JAY BOY may just need the outing and jumps from wide out.
