Ascot Race 2: #9 Yonga Lass @ $2.00
William Pike and Yonga Lass will combine for the fifth time this preparation as they seek a fourth win in this Benchmark 66+ over 1500m. Last start, the Grant & Alana Willaims-trained mare burst through a gap in the final 100m to run over the top of Count The Sessions and Demolish to win by half a length over 1400m. This daughter of Universal Ruler is starting to build a very impressive record (9:4-2-0), and now that she steps up to 1500m for the first time, it should suit her down to the ground. From barrier 12, Pike will have to take her to the back of the field, but if she lets down like she did last start, Yonga Lass will be winning again.
Caulfield Race 10: #8 Ghaanati @ $3.80
In the closer, Ghaanati will be looking to go one better than her second in the Group 3 How Now Stakes (1200m). The four-year-old mare went down by a neck to the classy Rose Quartz and managed to get the better of the smart duo She Dances and Queen Of The Ball in doing so. She will be giving her rivals a decent start from back in the field, but with the likes of Jigsaw, Semillion and Lombardo all looking to lead, the race will set up beautifully for Ghaanati to finish over the top.
Rosehill Race 3 #7 Tavi Time @ $2.45
Tavi Time couldn’t have been more impressive second-up when bounding to a comprehensive victory at Newcastle on November 18. The gelding by Tavistock loomed up on the outside of his rivals a long way out and put the race to bed with 200m to travel. He’s dual-accepted for the Mudgee Cup (1600m) on Friday; however, if the Kris Lees camp elects to send Tavi Time to Rosehill, he must be considered one of the better bets on the card.

Doomben Race 9: #3 Knight’s Choice @ $3.60
Knight’s Choice kicked off his preparation in Sydney and competed in the $10 million Golden Eagle second-up before returning to Queensland to run in an Open Quality over 1600m. Although he hasn’t won since returning as a four-year-old, this son of Extreme Choice has found a very winnable race at Doomben fourth-up. Last start, this gelding didn’t get a lot of luck back in the field, but he finished off strongly to run home into fourth place. Stepping up to 2000m for the first time will suit, and if he gets even luck, Knight’s Choice should go very close.
Morphettville Race 9: #1 Anjopin @ $3.50
The Sue & Jason Jaensch-trained Anjopin has been impressive this campaign. He was beaten by the barest of margins at the Morphettville Parks 1400m on November 11, and now he gets his chance to go one better at the track and trip. He is proven on firmer going and wet ground, so the conditions should not be too much of an issue for the son of Danbird. If Margaret Collett can have him jump cleanly from barrier 13, he looks the logical leader and should prove hard to run down.
