First-up specialist who has not missed the quinella in five fresh runs. Was an eyecatcher at the trials. Expecting a huge run.

Flemington Race 6 (3.40pm)
2 Zaaki ($3.60)
Short-priced Cox Plate favourite for a long-time last year before being scratched on its eve. Won two G1s last preparation. Still waiting to get out after an awful ride fresh. Kah rode five on Adelaide Cup Day so may have found some form.

Morphettville Race 8 (5.12pm)
2 Appalachian ($2.90)
Quality veteran who has won three of five fresh and two of four at this track. Will get last crack at them off a hot speed.

Rosehill Race 9 (5.20pm)
7 Brooklyn Hustle ($9.00)
Exciting mare whose racing pattern has proved costly in the past but so happy to see champion James McDonald in the saddle. Has a brilliant turn of foot. Did all but win last start.

Ascot Race 4 (5.40pm)
8 River Rubicon ($2.40)
Very smart 3yo who has won four of five career starts. Was off the map last start and won with a leg in the air. Hard to see anyone in this field having his class.

Rosehill Race 5
Exacta: 5-1
No.5 Verry Elleegant is the best horse in Australia and comes off a super gutsy win. Short but will be winning. No.1 Angel Of Truth will set the pace up front and Willie Pike is a great judge of speed.
