Doomben Race 3: #3 Eaglemont @ +130

Eaglemont will line up in his 12th start this campaign on Saturday, where the Matthew Dunn-trained gelding will seek his third win of the preparation, coming off the back of a close runner-up finish behind Zegalo at Rosehill on December 2. This son of Camelot ran on strong from the back of the field over 2000m to go down in a close photo finish. Dunn has engaged Blake Shinn for this contest, and after drawing barrier two, he has drawn to do no work and settle in behind the speed. If Shinn can get Eaglemont off the rail when turning into the home straight, he will prove very hard to beat.

Moonee Valley Race 5 #1 Dunkel @ +125

The Patrick Payne-trained Dunkel returned in fine enough form with a runner-up effort at Caulfield behind Let’srollthedice in a slowly run affair. The four-year-old son of Dundeel was forced to give his rivals 7kgs on that day over 1800m, and despite still giving his rivals weight on Saturday, the step up to the 2040m second-up looks to suit him perfectly. With the likes of Tycoon Bec, Grand Promenade and Independent Road all looking to hold a prominent position, the race should be run at a genuine enough clip for Dunkel to strike. Billy Egan will have the Group 1 SA Derby (2500m) winner settled at the rear, but with a sharp turn of foot, Dunkel should prove too hard to hold out.

Randwick Race 1: #1 Parkour @ +180

After making his debut at Ballarat on December 9, Parkour returns to Sydney. Although the son of Extreme Choice was defeat by 3.5 lengths, we were impressed with what we saw from the two-year-old. He swung into the home stretch from near-last when the whips were cracking and was able make a sustained run to the wire to finish runner-up. James Cummings elects to head back to Sydney with his colt, and with Jamie Kah happy to make the trip to keep the mount, we’re taking that as a strong guide that Parkour has plenty of ability.

Morphettville Race 7: #8 Zebella @ +180

Zeblla was only nosed out late when returning with a narrow runner-up effort at the Morphettville 1100m, when her lack of race fitness proved detrimental on a Heavy surface. With the run under her belt and getting back onto firmer ground on Saturday, it serves as a perfect recipe for success. The Zebedee mare will look to land outside expected race leader Chameleon Choice, where Kayla Crowther will have the chance to push the ‘go’ button when she deems fit. When asked to quicken, we anticipate Zebella will put this race away within a couple of strides and bring up an overdue win.
