BULLION BAY is having his 3rd run after a rest and should be ready to open his account. LE DOMINION looks capable but returns from a long lay-off and gelding. If ready and takes to sand will make them gallop. PERA HUR and BATTLE OF ARCOLE (wide draw) have had their chances but could take home money. SEVENTH APOSTLE was backed on debut and should come on.

MAGIC has been runner-up in 6 of 11 races and especially impressive when a brilliant second in open company last time. He deserves to go one better. JUSTASH has been heavily supported in his last 5 starts. He has been gelded since and could show expected form. BOOGALOO is improving with racing and could get into the action. KING OF CLOTH could take home a cheque.

SUPANOVA has run 2nd in both post maiden races and should again be in the shake-up. LA TASCA is holding form and could go in again this course and distance. KOPI NOVAK hasn't been far off and could take home more money. Stable companions RACING RED and BUSTER POSY could improve off their maiden wins. THE GOBI sports blinkers now and could improve. TIGER'S LEGACY could pop up.

Wide open. CATALUGA is very fast. She tries sand for the first time and if jumps on terms could get away. CAPTAIN'S DIVA runs well on both surfaces and can never be ignored. BALLERINI finished 2 lengths behind SLICK DEPUTY (winner since) but is 5kg better off. SECOND BITE, WINTER DARLING, SUPER GUPPY, LA STRADA and LIZZIE'S LEGS are all capable of pulling it off.

STREET FLYER has his first run in his new surroundings and if handles the sand could feature. BARBEL RUN has good recent turf form and if brings it to the sand could win. RETURN TO THE SUN is always in with a money chance. SHINE TIGER is better than his last two. WISHFUL HEART and DUTY DANCE have big weights to shoulder. YUKON GOLD and BENBOW could run into the frame.

Tricky race. BRIDEGROOM BERTIE beat a weak field easily when trying sand for the first time. He has scope and meets a moderate lot. WHITE CHRISTMAS has been disappointing but has a shout here. FORT NAVIDAD comes off a rest and could improve. PERFECT TRIP, BEE KEEPER, DIESEL POWER, GAME OF THRONES, NAHOON BEACH and SHAIPUR could pull it off.

COMMODORE AL is holding form. He beat COLONEL ROCKJAW (easy winner subsequently) by just over a length here in July and is 1,5kg worse off. It could get close. ARABIAN WORLD should enjoy the extra on this surface and rates a runner. SUNDARI loves this surface but could be short a run. PEREGRINE and TORA TORA could take home money.

Difficult race. IMPERIAL EMPRESS finished alongside SUSQUEHANNA last time. They meet at the same weights but the former could turn it around over 200m less. SIENA'S STAR only won her maiden in Kimberley last time but the blinkers did the trick and she could go on. KNOCK KNOCK has been close up and the distance should suit. SEATTLE FAIRY and BEAUTIFUL DAWN could pop up.
