Race 1: Murray Handicap
#6 United Endeavors needs a good gate and he gets that here. He does his best racing at Happy Valley and his fitness should be at its peak. He’s the one to beat, especially in this grade under a familiar jockey. #7 Colourful Baron is chasing back-to-back wins. He’s in superb form and is suited by remaining in this grade. He gets another winning chance. #2 Turtle Again can prove competitive from the inside draw. He won well over this course and distance two starts ago. #5 M M Nebula is favoured with Zac Purton up. Next in line.
Race 2: Jackson Handicap
#1 Precise Express has a significant class-edge over rivals. He draws ideally and is suited with the five pounds taken off due to Angus Chung’s apprentice claim. One to beat. #12 Palace Pal slots in light and should be finishing fast. He’s found a winning mark, it’s just a matter of needing luck from well back in the field. #2 Concerto can roll forward and give his all from there. He’s proven tough to get past...
