Salmanazar (Race 2) has won both of his starts this campaign and the money suggests he can chalk up a hat trick. His opening quote has more than halved into $2.80. Both victories have been by good margins and with just three career runs under his belt he is expected to progress to another level on Saturday.

Maurus (Race 6) enjoys a big drop in grade from Group 1 company and punters believe that can see him return to the winner’s stall, backing him as favourite into $2.35. He ran a career high rating when beaten less than 2L into fifth placing in the Doomben Cup and if he gets anywhere near that figure should have too much class.

Trubia (Race 7) is one of the day’s better backed favourites and has firmed the best part of two points into $2.50. He has been far from disgraced at his last couple of runs at Group level so is suited backed to Listed company and is a three-time winner at the distance.

British-bred import Maurus followed his good fifth in the Doomben Cup (Gr 1, 2000m) on 21 May with an impressive win here. He went back from his outside barrier (10) and remained in last place until commencing a wide run at the 800m. He moved up strongly (deep) nearing the home turn, hit the front on straightening and then raced away to win easily. Jumbo Prince settled in eighth place, one off the rails. He improved (wide) from the 800m to be second at the home turn and then kept fighting on well to hold that position, without looking likely to trouble the winner. Instrumentalist was near last on the rails, went deep from the 600m and fanned widest of all at the home turn. He then kept running on, finishing just in time to take the minor placing. Top weight (59.5kg) Puccini went to the front and held the lead until nearing the home turn. He then battled on in the straight for (7.1 lengths) fourth.
