Race 1 - 11:45am
The first three year old Metro race for the new racing season has the Peter and Paul Snowden trained Mandela the early favourite at Ladbrokes.com.au. Mandela has raced twice for a Canterbury Maiden second and a handy fifth in a Saturday 2yo Handicap at Randwick a fortnight ago and will be hard to beat back to Maiden company. First starter Astralis is racing with the winkers on and race day betting will be the best guide to his chances. Premiership winning jockey James McDonald rides Art Collection and Edison won a recent Rosehill barrier trial in preparation for his first start as a three year old.

Misteed tried hard last start when second over the same course and distance two weeks ago and gets her chance to go one better on Saturday and has won on the heavy.

Race 4 - 1:30pm
The addition of blinkers and with James McDonald in the saddle, Acquital has a great chance to breakthrough for an overdue win. Weather Channel went down narrowly in a similar race at Rosehill last start but has to overcome a wide barrier in a capacity field. Last start Newcastle winner Nicconita and last start Randwick winner Irish Songs have also drawn out in the car park.

Race 6 - 2:45pm
Toryjoy was an all the way winner over 1800m at Rosehill two starts back but was out of contention early last start when slow to leave the barrier. Has to be given another chance. German import Attention Run was a Randwick 1600m winner at his first Australian start and has to be considered again. Milseain raced on the pace when a fading seventh over this course and distance but look for improvement with Hugh Bowman in the saddle and Waking Moment is not the worst.

Race 7 - 3:25pm
Haunted was beaten less than a length and a half when eighth in the Ramornie Handicap at Grafton as favourite and is worth following. Fortensky has been placed at his two runs back from a spell and could figure in the prizemoney again. French import Milk Man has won a Warwick Farm barrier trial in preparation for his Australian debut and is ready to deliver and Bangkok is a last start Randwick 1400m winner.

Race 9 - 4:45pm
Jack’s Bar battled on okay last start when third after setting the pace and might be hard to run down if he gets his own way in front.

Judge Judi also has solid recent form and Drachenfels has each way claims.
