COMMON INTEREST did plenty wrong winning his maiden on debut back on September 24 and caught the eye first-up, making ground when beaten 3.69 lengths behind Signature Scent here last start. He’s raw, has a lot of upside, and the rise in trip looks ideal. UPTOWN MONK is on the back-up after being beaten 1.55 lengths in 4th behind Sir Myka at Oakbank. He draws out but has plenty of talent. WIND RUSH is a watch, the former Kiwi first-up for Michael Hickmott, and he was 2nd in a recent Parks trial.

He ran well first-up, beaten 2.43 lengths behind Angel Torque at Murray Bridge, before he was beaten 2.23 lengths in 6th behind Gold Spirit over 1200m. He’s back in trip and should run well again at an each-way quote. SWIFTIE HARRIE has a good record and resumes. She won well at Ballarat on December 6 and then ran down the track at Caulfield and had a break. She has jumped out and trialled up well for her return and does go well fresh.

MCWOODY tackled the Victorian Derby last year and comes off an impressive Sandown win over 1600m. He’s been $9-$4.20. BAYOU MUSIC has only won the one race and was a $3.90 favourite when beaten 3.8 lengths in last behind Hallowed Halls at Caulfield last time.

BARGAIN BOY was well ridden to score a 0.26 length win here in a 0-62 last time, stablemate MATAHGA wasn’t beaten far last time and strips fitter for two runs back, while the third of the Stokes horses CRESPIANO was a $1.95 favourite and made a sustained run before being beaten 0.81 lengths in a Strathalbyn Class 1 over 2050m last time.

CASH is unbeaten in two runs here and was back to his best with a soft 4.01 length win over Oxford Blue here last time, and the form out of that race has held up well. He has the light weight and must be respected. WATERSPORTS has won three of his past four and was a good Flemington winner last time, beating Maisy. He gets in well here at the weights. CHICAGO STORM ran well first-up from a spell beaten 3.24 lengths behind Shadhavar in the Listed Matrice Stakes and will appreciate the rise in trip. ARRAN BAY was impressive, winning the Listed C S Hayes here on Cup Day before going to Flemington and was beaten 1.81 lengths in 4th behind Al Duca. He draws out with a big weight. VERDAD comes through the same races and must be respected on recent efforts. PUDDING was impressive first-up over the 1400m, beating A SAMURAI MIND, who has been a beaten favourite since, but was found to have a cardiac arrhythmia, while BAMYAN BUDDHA ran an honest race, beaten 1.25 lengths. SABAN won two in succession before a break and has had a couple of jump-outs to bring him up to speed for this. PRIVATE LEGACY is another who has campaigned here previously, and she hasn’t raced since the Magic Millions Trophy on the Gold Coast in January, when she lost her rider. She’s had a couple of trials but will appreciate the run and more ground.

RACE 9 - Sportsbet Auraria Stakes (1800 METRES)
STUNG couldn’t have been more impressive winning the Listed Clare Lindop Stakes here last time on the back of a perfect ride when a dominant 1.75 length winner.

SYNTHESISE ran a career peak, making good ground to be beaten 2.77 lengths in 3rd in that race. MATING CALL was beaten 2.78 lengths in 4th and arguably the best run of the race, given she covered ground and made a long, sustained run from the back.

She won the Listed Hill Smith on this track and trip back on October 18 and draws a nice gate. OUI OUI MA CHERIE comes through the same race beaten 5.54 lengths.
