Capitalist put How To Win in the black for the year by winning the Slipper. Preferment should win the B.M.W., however, with the likelihood of a soft track it may be better to wait a week for our next winner/s.

The top-rated runner throughout Australia is Stratum Star in Race 4 at Flemington in Melbourne.

Capitalist should win Race 2 in Sydney then go on to win the Golden Slipper. Antepost odds of $4.20 should therefore be accepted while still available. Press Statement should win Race 7 but will probably be a ridiculously short quote. This leaves Xtravagant in Melbourne as the sole top-rated runner for the day.
