RACE 7: BERKELEY SQUARE 1, Piggyback 2, Campaldino 3, Litzdeel 4

This race has fallen away with Randwick's Metropolitan the preferred option for some. The wet conditions suit Berkeley Square who worked overtime at Caulfield and did well to finish as close as he did, Piggyback is also a proven heavy tracker. 

RACE 8: SIR DELIUS 1, Aaeliana 2, Cosmic Crusader 3, Half Yours 4

Before the rain arrived this looked a match in two, and remains as last year's winner Sir Delius and top mare Aeliana are both at home in the conditions.

Skybird won the Group 1 Lightning on a soft 7 here last February and seven of her eight starts since have been at Group 1 level. She raced closer to the pace than usual when a sound fifth in the Moir. Arkansaw Kid loves the soft, chances to Hedged and Inkaruna.

RACE 10: TEN COMMANDMENTS 1, Just Party 2, Home Rule 3, Cote Atlantique 4

Ten Commandments is a superior heavy tracker racing in career best form. Just Party was a luckless fifth at this track and trip last start, yet to win on heavy ground but twice placed.
