Hartnell prepped for his assignment in the Caulfield Stakes with a course proper gallop in company as did Caulfield Guineas contender Kementari.

It is always hard to get an accurate time on course proper gallops with the finish line obscured but all the horses to use it impressed.

Encryption is nominated to debut in the Debutant Stakes for two-year-olds and the son of Guelph more than held his own with the older Bandipur, a last start winner at Caulfield, on the steeple grass.

Markers on the steeple grass were out three metres, riders reporting the ground riding in the good(4) range, the course proper horses on the outside.

Racenet has compiled a list of times below with an analysis of the work to assist punters.
