From Michael Hawkes
Horse : Jolie Bay
Message : Nominated for Race 5 Brian Crowley Stakes 1200m. Trains on well after her last start win in a Group 2. Done extremely well, drawn a good gate. She’ll be right in the finish.
Horse : Munfasla
Message : Nominated for Race 1 TAB Sprint Plate 1000m. Nice filly by Bel Esprit having first start. Trial really well. Good chance tomorrow.
Horse : Niwot
Message : Nominated for Melbourne Race 8 The Caulfield Cup 2400m. Drawn well in barrier 6. Last start over 2000m was fantastic and looking for extra journey now. A knockout chance.
Horse : Tavarnelle
Message : Nominated for Race 3 City Tattersalls Club (BM 95) 1600m. Light weight chance even though the race is out of her class a touch.
From David Payne
Horse : Praecido
Message : Nominated for Race 6 City Tattersalls Club Cup 2400m. Will run his usually honest race. Unfortunately the English horses are better than him but if he gets better luck, he could pull it off.
Horse : Honorius
Message : Nominated for Melbourne Race 3 Norman Robinson Stakes 2000m. Will be competitive and have found a suitable race.
From Gerald Ryan
Horse : Villa Splendido
Message : Nominated for Melbourne Race 1 Snowhite Maintenance Plate 1400m. Her run the other day was disappointing but the addition of winkers should help sharpen her up.
Horse : Mrs Onassis
Message : Nominated for Melbourne Race 10 Listed Carlton Draught Alinghi Stakes 1100m. She’s done well and drawn well and I expect her to be very competitive on Saturday.
From Jason Coyle
Horse : Emotion Circus
Message : Nominated for Race 8 The Nivison 1200m. She’s been terrific and done everything right since her last start 3rd behind Red Tracer. She was unlucky being held up around the turn otherwise would have finished closer.
From Peter Snowden
Horse : Citations
Message : Nominated for Race 1 TAB Sprint Plate 1000m. Well bred by Redoute’s Choice. Won well in his trial at Randwick. Unfortunately he has drawn the extremely outside barrier, but if he does everything right then he’ll run well.
Horse : Sessions
Message : Nominated for Race 5 Brian Crowley Stakes 1200m. One start on the Kensington track for one win. Up in grade. Trial nicely and has got ability.
From James Cummings (Bart Cummings stable)
Horse : Dare To Dream
Message : Nominated for Race 6 City Tattersalls Club Cup 2400m. Steps up to a mile and a half 3rd up should be ideal. Both previous runs at Randwick were terrific. Weight drops from 59kg to 54kg. But he needs to be a strong force in the race to warrant a trip to Melbourne.
From Barry Smith (Anthony Cummings stable)
Horse : Ever The Same
Message : Nominated for Race 8 The Nivison 1200m. Improved a lot since last run but has drawn a wide barrier (13) in the Nivison. Steps back in grade from Group 2 last start. If she can overcome the wide barrier, she’ll be hard to beat
From Tim Martin
Horse : Fairyland
Message : Nominated for Race 1 TAB Sprint Plate 1000m. Trackwork has been good but drawn awkwardly in barrier 9. Not expect her to win because of the barrier but should run on. Each way chance.
