RACE FIVE
MR KALYPSO (13) has been brutal since returning from a long break and last start racked up his 6th successive victory. Starting from the 2nd line he was off and around early and pressed on to the front to score at Redcliffe in a slick closing 400m split. This is his biggest test from the gate but he is oozing class and power.
RED CHARMER (1) will strip fitter from her return last week when chasing home well over this trip to grab the bronze when 9m from the winner OPONONIS BLISS. From the gate she will get a perfect trip and can be probing for the openings to issue her closing speed.
LINCOLN ROAD (4) will be 1st up in Australia for Alistair Barnes, with his last start coming against FFA performers when beaten a head by NO DOCTOR NEEDED. With 2 trials to prepare, the latest a sharp effort, he can be right in the mix.
DARKERSHADEOFPALE (9) won a mares qualifier here as a 3YO and was sent for a season ending break after the victory. Returning with a Menangle victory, her latest effort was a top effort when 3m from the InterDom bound VILLAGE WITCH. With even luck she is a big knockout hope
