Get the last word from the key connections below.
RACE 1 – TABTOUCH PACE
- Cody Wallrodt (PALATINO): “I think he’s definitely a better horse in front. We’ll see how we come out and how Youngy’s comes out. I’d say we’d probably be sitting.”

- Maddison Brown (ARDENS WINSTAR): “Jump straight on the back and hopefully earn.”
- Kyle Harper (CORDERO): “Awkward draw but each-way all day.”
- Gary Hall Jnr (PLUTONIUM): “Press for the lead. Try keep our draw advantage over the outside two.”
- Lindsay Harper (POCKET THE CASH): “Going good. Ready to win a race. Not quite getting the right sort of run. He’s each-way. Probably duck in and run on hard.”
- Deni Roberts (EUPHORIC MOMENT): “Happy with the first-up run. Will be looking for a soft trip over the shorter distance.”
