The Penetrometre reading is 5.30, the track is rated a dead 4, with a likely upgrade later in the day, while 46 mls of irrigation has been applied to the track for the week.

This is an outstanding program with quality racing and excellent fields, with the exception of a couple of races.

The D'Urban Armanasco Stakes and BMW Autumn Classic both lack numbers for Group 2 races, in this case the stake money of $220,000 for each seems hardly warranted.

Mr Moet and Mawingo both meet again in the Carlton Draft Peter Young Stakes, after being placed behind All Too Hard in the C F Orr Stakes each will be better suited by the additional distance, there is not much between them as we saw last time they met.

Both will be improved by the run, with a slight preference for the Perth performer Mr Moet.

All Too Hard is already at odds on for the Cathay Pacific Futurity, he is the next budding weight for age star, irrespective of how the race is run he will take a ton of beating.

The reappearance of the Melbourne Cup winner, Green Moon, will be viewed with great interest; he would need to make a forward showing if the Australian Cup is to be on his wish list.

Miracles Of Life has held her place at the top of the market in the Blue Diamond Stakes since she effortlessly won the Preview, it would come as no surprise though if her price drifted on course when proceedings open.

She has received no favours, drawing the inside barrier she will have to be hunted out to maintain a position, she won't get a scrap of peace at any stage of the 1200 metres trip.

In reflection, she drew out from the fence in the Preview working her way into the race, it will be a lot different tomorrow, she has to jump well to retain the ascendancy, otherwise be swamped by horses coming across from the outside.

Guelph has a touch of class, she is a run on filly and the 13 gate should not bother her, she should have a trouble free run, plus the extra ground will suit her.
