Race 6 summary - STROMLO just got too far back last start and was given little hope from back there. Previous start was maiden winner and if finds that form can figure. Looks nice race for YOU'RE KIDDING ME who is most consistent and overdue for a win.

Race 8 summary - MEGAWATT deserves a win in this class. Drawn to get ideal run and will not get a better chance than this. THE AROD has been ordinary in last couple but previous form solid and he can bounce back. CLEAR SAILING was not far away at Goulburn last start and this looks no harder whilst THE BIG BOMBER can sneak into placing.
