With all of the sport that's on this weekend, it's easy to forget there's still plenty of racing to look forward to! Below are some comments on highlighted races from the traders as IASbet.
Manikato Stakes - Moonee Valley Race 6
Champion two year old Sepoy ($2.10) has proven he's come back as a three year old and is on top again. He should lead here and gets the weight advantage on the WFA scale. More Joyous ($2.90) has been trialling and working very well for this and will box seat just behind Sepoy. If he has any chinks in his armour she might be too good. Sister Madly ($13.00) was very impressive first up for her new trainer at Caulfield and is drawn to get a perfect run. Atomic Force ($10.00) has to be included in calculations. He's racing very well and the rain in Melbourne is a bonus for him.
Epsom Handicap - Randwick Race 7
Pinker Pinker ($5.50) is on top in a typically open Epsom. She's been flying in good mares races in Melbourne, will get the perfect run in this and is on the limit weight. Any rain about will enhance her chances further. Secret Admirer ($7.50) and Foreteller ($8.50) both look to have been set for this and will be peaking. Secret Admirer was a little disappointing last time, but the quick back up suits, while Foreteller will be fitter now and the rise to the mile is ideal. Prepared to risk Sincero ($4.60). His form is excellent but his inside barrier could make things tricky as he'll get back in the run.
Flight Stakes - Randwick Race 8
Streama ($3.60) will be very hard to beat again. She's won her last two and races forward so gives herself every chance. Hallowell Belle ($4.20) will give her a good test. She was desperately unlucky last time in Melbourne, is looking for the mile and will be suited by the big track. Pane In The Glass ($3.60) is extremely honest and is in the mix again. At good odds, Tai Tai Tess faces a rise in class but races on the speed and with a moderate tempo can run a cheeky race.
