Caulfield Race 10: #14 Devoted @ $3.00

Devoted gets in on the minimum weight following Tatum Bull’s 3kg claim, and considering the son of Xtravagant took Amenable to within a long neck when first-up off a long spell, the former WA galloper looks a touch too classy for this lot. Devoted should land in a beautiful spot from barrier five, and barring any bad luck in the home straight, he should be bringing up career win five at start 13.

Randwick Race 2: #14 Centre Bounce @ $5.00

Trainer Matthew Dunn has been labelled the ‘king of the highway’ as of late with a strike rate that continues to impress. He’s travelled multiple gallopers down from Queensland to compete in these highway contests and that includes the quinella pair from August 19. Derry Grove gave them a galloping lesson; however, Centre Bounce was clearly the best of the rest, chasing gamely under Tyler Schiller. She was no match for her stablemate on that occasion but did put a length on the remainder of her opposition, running into a clear second. Zac Lloyd takes the reins this time, and from a much softer draw (2), and an extra 100m seemingly ideal, Centre Bounce looks very hard to beat.

Eagle Farm Race 3: #7 Heleva Deel @ $4.00

We were with the Mark Currie-trained Heleva Deel last start when she finished second behind Hokahey over 1400m at this track on August 5. This six-year-old mare has been given a four-week freshen since that run and will go into this third-up, nearing full fitness. One big positive for this daughter of Dundeel is that she will rise sharply in distance to 1800m, which is what she has seemingly been crying out for in her first two starts this preparation. After drawing barrier four and gaining the services of 3kg claimer Bailey Wheeler, Heleva Deel will get all the favours and should be claiming her first win of the campaign.

Morphettville Race 6: #4 Sweetened @ $2.50

In the opening leg of the quaddie, Sweetened will be looking to bring up a second-straight win. The four-year-old mare bloused her rivals in emphatic fashion at the Morphettville 1050m, and on her return to the track and trip, we expect she will do something similar. From barrier four under Ben Price, Sweetened should not be too far from the speed throughout, and if she shows a similar turn of foot to last time, she should be blowing her rivals away once again.

Belmont Race 5: #5 Rumour Says @ $2.50

Rumour Says began her four-year-old season with a very encouraging second behind Swim Through at this track and trip on August 19, where she was only beaten by half a head. This daughter of Deep Field enjoyed a fruitful two-year-old season, but she struggled as a three-year-old, where she didn’t find the winner’s circle once from her seven starts. However, the four-year-old mare’s return last start showed that she may have turned the corner, and she should be ready to win second-up. William Pike retains the ride, and if he can find the one-one from barrier three, Rumour Says should prove too good.
