A competitive Java Handicap. Visitor AMERICAN LANDING is now maturing and should be at peak fitness. KILRAIN is back over a much preferred trip and will be dangerous. DROMEDARIS is a strong front runner and on their meeting in August should hold honest earner ODD ROB at bay. ALI BON DUBAI will prefer this distance while stable mate PAGODA cannot be discarded. More to consider.

OWLINTHETREE was all at sea on debut and should be right there at the finish. TURF MASTER needed his last outing and shouldn't be far off. HENRY JAMES wasn't disgraced on debut but is coupled with newcomer REACH FOR THE LINE - watch! CAPTAIN HOOK has been disappointing lately. Other first-timers to watch are HAWWAAM, APPROACH CONTROL and MIGHTY ROCK.

Draw and pace could determine the winner of the Monaco Million. A fast pace will suit the likes of EPIC DREAM and AGAINST THE GRAIN. GREENER PASTURES, BYE BYE ROCKET and EXTRAVERT will improve on decent debuts. MOJITO MAGIC races as a gelding now and could show true potential. TRIPLE Z, TARZAN, OPENSEA, SUMMER HOUSE, WITHOUT LIMITS, BEL CANTO CHORUS and CHOUETTE could upset.

The Graham Beck Stakes should bring in the crowds. Star colts ALYAASAAT and CHIMICHURI RUN meet in what appears a match race. The former has proven his stamina and with 3kg lighter could have the edge. Stable companion FIRDOAS is no slouch but could be short a run. The battle for quartet money includes NATIONAL PARK, RULE THE NIGHT and GREEN HAZE.

RAILTRIP drifted in the betting in her come-back run but wasn't disgraced.She will come on and is 'thrown in' at the weights. The one to beat in the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup. THE SASH also needed her last outing and rates the main danger. THE SANDS, GREATEST WISH and CHIJMES could get into the mix while others are looking for minor money.

Top 3-year-olds will be tested in the HSH Princess Charlene Starling Stakes. GHAALLA has now matured and will be cherry ripe. She could turn it around with CELTIC SEA on the Alan Robertson, however, the latter is no pushover. NAFAAYES needed her last outing and could get into the action. RUNNING BRAVE has finished on top of them and shouldn't be far off again. More could place.

Everything favours NOBLE SECRET to take the Charity Mile. He will be at peak fitness, has drawn well and the distance should suit. The race is on for minor money. MATADOR MAN showed his well being after a rest but gives start. DOOSRA should be cherry-ripe and will represent value. CAPTAIN ALDO will try to do it the hard way. Top weight CORAL FEVER has class and could feature

3-year-olds WILLIAM THE SILENT and BOLD EAGLE dominate in the Golden Loom Handicap. The former proved superior in the Nursery but both have been gelded since. WILLIAM THE SILENT won on his debut while BOLD EAGLE has yet to race as one. Year older PRINCE OF KAHAL is on a hat- trick as a gelding and will be catching late. WRECKING BALL cannot be ignored. Others with claims.

The Yellowwood Handicap is competitive. FORT EMBER found form at the right time but concedes weight all round. SYLVAN ON FIRE needed her last run badly but needs to over-come a wide draw. CHARIOT OF GOLD should now be ready to show true form. INSIGNIS should turn it around with BEING FABULOUS over the extra. GOTTALOTTALUV, MAR DEL SUR and SHELLY could make the frame.

Tricky. ROSARIO has been close up in both starts but debutante GREEN DRAGON appears stable elect on riding engagements - watch! BALUSTRADE comes off a long lay-off but showed promise and could win fresh. MERCER GIRL was not striding out last time and will do better. RHYME OR REASON could get into the money. COMANECI and SAIL DE LAGO can improve on debut. Watch newcomers.

A small but tricky race. BUFFALO BILL CODY has won 3 of 4 starts but is reported not at peak fitness, however, could win fresh. SAFE HARBOUR and FRENCH NAVY have class but stable mate WARRIOR'S REST could be fittest. KING'S ARCHER ran close up after a rest and could go on. SHUKAMISA can never be ignored for money. EMILY JAY and THE ROCKET MAN (may need it) could pull it off.

DESERT RHYTHM flew up late last time but should be cherry-ripe now in this her 3rd run after a rest. Stable companion BOLD VIKING needed his last run and if doesn't give away too much start could flash up. FLYING WINGER is in form and could go in again. FULL OF ATTITUDE sports blinkers now and could come on heaps. SPLENDID GARDEN and DAN THE LAD could get into the mix.
