Over the 1200m, Polar Success has to win this if she has any chance of recapturing her 2yo form. I think that Hasna and La Reata might fight this out, with Sticks 'n' Stones and Olympus as likely to be running on at the end.

7 SKY CUDDLE [1.45/7.00]
8 DUBAI RUBY [0.81/3.00]
9 PAINT BY NUMBERS [0.78/2.33]
The added distance makes Shamekha again the one to beat. Watch out for Paint by Numbers and Miss Ivy.

No. Horse
1 CARNEGIE EXPRESS (NZ) [-0.17/0.71]

7 NIGHT RAIDER [0.79/2.50]
8 STUDEBAKER (NZ) [0.85/3.44]
9 NIPS [1.25/8.33]
Sportsman and Night Raider look the best suited with Marbine some value.

No. Horse
1 HANDSOME RANSOM [0.33/1.48]

9 SPURCENT [0.60/2.20]
10 BARBERTON [0.83/3.29]
11 GRANDLY [0.46/1.67]
An interesting race again with a narrow range of dosages. Tsuimai and Al Jameel are unlikely to figure over the distance, with Superior Sateen certainly one to keep an eye on.
8-5.00 NESTLE DRUMSTICK STARLIGHT STAKES 1100 M
No. Horse
1 MISTEGIC [1.58/23.00]

11 FORCE APOLLO [0.29/1.55]
12 CHEVERNY [0.86/3.00]
13 KNICKERBOCKER KID [0.94/3.86]
This looks a real battle of speedsters, and Thorn Park could easily run over the top of them at the end.
3-1.50 JUMEIRAH INTERNATIONAL STAKES 1400 M
No. Horse
1 HOW FUNNY [1.07/3.63]
2 SYRINX [-0.09/0.91]

15 DELARGO MOON [0.28/1.12]
16 DIAMOND HAILEY (NZ) [-0.22/0.80]
The wider range of dosages of this race probably indicates that it is lacking a bit in class. Quite a few chances maybe with Dilly Dally being one that could be worth following in the race.

10 FLASH IN THE PAN [1.08/3.80]
11 CLOSE ENCOUNTER [1.20/5.67]
12 ELVSTROEM [0.46/2.11]
Another wide open race, with a good quality field. Kusi may appreciate the extra distance, while Pietiner is an interesting runner among many chances.

19E CROP (NZ) [0.10/1.11]
20E BAHAMIAN RHAPSODY [-0.50/0.60]
Exceed and Excel could just prove how good he could be. Fields of Omagh could be a real danger given good speed in front while Scaredee Cat, Squillani and Mr Murphy are among a number of chances.

9 AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' [0.50/2.53]
10 CRIANCA [0.90/3.20]
Strasbourg, Honor Babe and Ain't Seen Nothin' should all be prominent.

19E IRISH CRUSADER (NZ) [0.63/1.82]
B THE GALWAY ROVER [1.14/3.67]
The much lower dosages of this field point to a likely Melbourne Cup campaign for a number of these runners. Out of Options and Bold Bard are worth following at this stage of the preparation.
