Race 2 summary - I AM YOU ARE should be able to lead or box seat from draw and is doing everything right at the moment. Looks hard to shake. PORN STAR PETE is drawn slightly awkward but will look to go forward and is a real threat if he gets a few favours in running. 7yo SIROCCAN LAD has placed three of four runs first up and has to be included in the mix. RIVA ENCORE must be respected if he elects to go around off quick back up.

Race 4 summary - YEPPOON looks the one to beat of he can replicate something close to his most recent Gold Coast effort. SERBIA should relish the step out in trip based on his latest run and is the main danger. SEBRING FLING would be close to top pick if not for draw. MR GRACEMERE the stablemate of YEPPOON, is another who has drawn poorly but looks well in this otherwise.

Race 6 summary - Only had to see BELFLYER's first run for Shelton stable in Casino Cup to have him clearly on top here. Looks a good bet. BOB'S WARRIOR carried 54kg to win a Bm70 back in May.
