Back to HQ this Saturday where the Spring Carnival momentum continues with the running of the Group 1 Moet & Chandon Spring Champion Stakes (2000m), for three-year-olds, the feature on an exciting ten-race card.
Our best of the day comes up in the LR Five Diamonds Prelude (1500m), for five-year-olds with the Toowoomba raider Yellow Brick.
The Tony and Maddysen Sears trained gelding is looking to break his Sydney hoodoo after disappointing in the Silver Eagle last year and having Epsom plans scrapped after picking up a virus in August.
Second-up last start, Yellow Brick demolished an average field in Listed grade over (1400m) in slick time, carrying 60.5kg from a wide draw at Eagle Farm.
Tomorrow, Tim Clark takes the ride and with the drop in weight from the good draw, expect to see him park just off the speed and with the likelihood of a fast run race, prove too strong for his rivals.
Heavily supported since final field markets on Wednesday, the $3.70 on offer looks exceptional value.
Our next best comes in the Group 2 Catanach's Jewellers Callander-Presnell (1600m) for three-year-olds, with the unlucky Just Party.
The Ryan & Alexiou trained son of Justify is proven over the mile after finishing third to Broadsiding and El Castello in the LR Fernhill (1600m), here last April.
Fourth-up tomorrow, expect to see him race closer to the speed and turn the tables on Anode who had his measure in the LR Tapp-Craig (1400m) at Rosehill last time out.
