CANTERBURY: RACE 3

GRAFFITI TYCOON (3) brought sharp trials to Warwick Farm on debut and impressed, narrowly beaten as a $2.7F. Is still new and didn't get it easy. Is sure to have taken fitness and learning, and Lloyd stays aboard the gelding, and the inside gate should advantage. Can go one better.

GEELONG: RACE 7 

JUSTIQUE (12) can bounce back at her third career start. She won dominantly on debut here over 1435m, just fair last time at Sandown Lakeside against better company when kept very safe in betting. Back a notch here, Williams will roll forward from out wide and take catching.

DOOMBEN: RACE 2

The well-related SWING STATE (7) (half to G2 winner In Good Order) just missed the frame at Eagle Farm when resuming and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this.

ASCOT: RACE 5

NONESOSPICY (1) showed plenty of ability early in her campaign and was just fair in her only run last campaign. She bolted in at the trials recently and she's unbeaten at this track and trip. Riordan's claim comes in handy and this looks to set up favourably. Can return with a bang. 

MURRAY BRIDGE: RACE 9 

KING OF WESSEX (1) was far too bad to be true last start when never running on Oakbank but his form prior reads very favourably for this. He loves the 2000m and draws to get the absolute A1 with Toeroek taking back over. Willing to completely forgive last start and trusting he's on song, he looks very hard to beat.
