CAULFIELD: Race 3 (1:20pm AEDT)
Race Starts in: Race Finished
No. 5 Emphasize
Emphasize was ultra impressive when saluting over 2000m here last start and he looks a very smart horse on the rise.
Stepping straight out of maiden grade, the NZ bred gelding settled back in the field and when given his cue, he whipped around the field to find the front 300m out and showed plenty of heart to stave off any challengers.
Only lightly raced, having had the three starts, he was good when finishing third on debut over 1400m but proved far too good over 1717m a Sale at his following outing as he extended away to score by over four lengths.
He draws to get the right run and I like the slight drop back in trip.

No. 2 Wodeton
It’s hard to go past Wodeton here after the colt’s emphatic debut performance last month.
Now the current Golden Slipper betting favourite, the son of Wooton Bassett was sent out at a very short quote over the 1100m and he well and truly justified the support as he accelerated away to score by just under four lengths.
He’s since been given a nice trial to keep him ticking over and with natural improvement, he looks the one to beat.
ROSEHILL: Race 8 (4:35pm AEDT)

No. 1 Broadsiding
Broadsiding will make his hotly anticipated return to the races.
Now a three-time Group One winner, the Godolphin colt didn’t have the best of runs in the Caulfield Guineas but he was brilliant in the Cox Plate, where he charged home from the tail to claim third.
Sent to the paddock after he appeared to have had enough in the Cantala Stakes, he comes here off two very pleasing trials.
His latest heat saw him let down strongly over the 1000m at Warwick Farm and he looks ready to go.
He was victorious when resuming last preparation in the Golden Rose over this track and track and looks on track to repeat that performance.
ROSEHILL: Race 10 (5:55pm AEDT)

No. 10 The Black Cloud
The Black Cloud kicked off her preparation with a very pleasing performance over 1000m at Randwick and she’ll relish the slight rise in trip.
The Joe Pride trained mare settled just off the leader and gave a good kick in the straight but just found one better on the day.
She strips fitter for the run and has won three from four over the 1100m.
Only lightly raced, the four year old daughter of Shamus Award has put together a very tidy record and she looks well placed to build on that.
