Track heavy 9 and rail out 4m.
2. Barbray can return to the winner’s stall here back on a likely very heavy track and deep into the prep. Won two straight up to BM64 midweek company before running home late in a similar race to this at Randwick, then not suited in the group 3 Winx Guineas at the Sunshine Coast. Senior jockey goes back on, and the wetter the better for a gelding that relishes the mud. 5. Amusing swept home for a second career win here a fortnight back, and gets first use of the inside. Wouldn’t be taking too short a price, though, going up sharply in weight. 4. Narbold is a stablemate of Amusing, which was overrun by her late last start after being specked at an each-way price. Only the one win so far, but drawn well and has a sound record on rain-affected ground. 1. Balla Khaihah is over the odds third up with blinkers added after closing off strongly here a fortnight ago. 3. Hopper has been disappointing since a super maiden win in early May, but he made up plenty of late ground behind Amusing.
How to play it: Barbray each way and box trifecta 1, 2, 4, 5.

5. Cold Brew is a talented and still progressing four-year-old trained on the track and shooting for three wins on the bounce heading back into metropolitan company. Has led comfortably and won up to this trip in his past two, and while obviously taking on some better ones here, loves the going and proven to be a reliable weight carrier. From a wider draw, the jockey has the option of crossing over or staying off the fence. 1. Denman Star is a tough provincial-based wet-tracker that ran home OK here a fortnight ago. Drawn to get cover, and premiership-winning jockey takes over. 2. Forecaster has been in the money in three of his past four around this level, and with a 3kg claim, can give a lot of cheek on the speed. 7. Convergent is lightly raced and a market watch reloading off an eight-week break for just his second start. 11. Pretty Tavi, which has run home well in two runs back from a spell, and at big odds 3. C’mon Mate, which is second up, are worthy trifecta and first four players.
How to play it: Cold Brew to win.
2. First Landing is a talented and still improving five-year-old building an impressive record, having not finished further back than second in his past four. Dominated in consecutive races from just off the speed before being ridden quieter and charging home late to finish only a length from high-class sprinter Storm The Ramparts at BM78 level. Was also strong late from midfield when missing by a long neck in a Highway here a fortnight ago, and despite drawing wide, he gets a decent map a few lengths back and well off the fence. This is a shade stronger in depth, but he represents the best value in the race. 5. Without Parallel is the measuring stick in the race, and likely the clear favourite, as she is unbeaten in three starts. Was tough leading all the way at Eagle Farm when having her first run in 17 weeks, and gets in well at the weights after the jockey’s claim. 7. Cambar is a sparingly raced stallion with a stack of ability, and resumes off two trial wins. Unbeaten on rain-affected ground, and did win at his only previous Rosehill run in a class 2 Highway when fresh. Significantly, blinkers come off, so naturally a huge betting watch. 3. Martini Mumma has winkers on third up off a break, and goes in wider exotic plays. 1. Bengal can sneak into the money fourth up at big odds.

7. Tuileries is a smart and progressive mare that looks to have this on a platter second up over a furlong further. Was beaten by the alley when fresh and closing off late, and with the top hoop taking over, and in a field reduced in size, she can track up off the fence and pounce early in the straight. Both wins late last year came on firm tracks, but she’s bred to get through these conditions being by So You Think out of a Bernadini mare. 1. Lady Extreme is a strong provincial mare that returns to the course where she won two straight up to this level earlier in the prep before doing her best work late in the listed Ramornie Handicap at Grafton. Loves the going, being by wet-track sire Extreme Choice, although the handicapper hasn’t missed her, and she’s back up sharply to 60.5kg. Scratched from a later race to be saved for this. 11. Sister Daae hit the line hard second up behind Amusing, which goes around earlier in the program, so the form reference may be there. Another improver bred to get through the ground. 2. Pippie Beach needs to find more fourth up, but heavy ground and a sharp drop back in trip three weeks between runs are pluses.
How to play it: Tuileries to win and quinella 1 and 7.
