RACE 8: AZTEC STATE 1, Gates 2, Zambezi Khan 3, Etara 4
Aztec State and Gates have the proven city form at this trip, the emerging talent from the provincials against older horses are Zambezi Khan and Etara.
RACE 9: BERKELEY SQUARE 1, Aberfeldie Boy 2, Euphoic 3, Shaiyhar 4
Now Berkeley Square has had the confidence builder win from last Saturday he can repeat. Only danger Aberfeldie Boy, also luckless in the Easter Cup and reserved for this from Adelaide.
RACE 10: CHORLTON LANE 1, Talbragar 2, He's Our Bonneval 3, Fortunate Kiss 4
Chorlton Lane is a UK import in his second Australian preparation and was impressive charging home for a first-up Bendigo win. Kept to 1400m he can repeat, Talbragar won with authority at Mornington and has the advantage of being able to race on pace.
BEST BETS: Berkeley Square, Chorlton Lane. VALUE: La Danseuse Rouge.
