IN MEMORY HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II

We're used to seeing a big international influence on this day but perhaps not so much on the undercard. Imports are to the fore. We haven't seen NUGGET (5) for over a year but he signed off his time in the UK with a big run in a deep handicap and he rates highly on the strength of that. Progressive profile and no shock to see him make his way into better races. MUNHAMEK (10) came down from Hong Kong and won first up. Just as good when placed last time and this looks ideal. GREEN FLY (14) comes down from France with a handy profile and big upside. From the locals, MINSK MOMENT (6) won really well at Geelong and might be ready to put it all together now. Has always shown talent and is sure to be popular here under the jockey of the moment.
