Our Ladbrokes preview can be found below.
RACE 1 - 1:00PM: SALE CUP - SUNDAY 29TH OCTOBER MAIDEN PLATE (1110 METRES)
Chargenlikapluma has been placed in six of his eleven starts and gets his chance to break through.
Now under the care of Simon Zahra, the Magnus gelding has finished the runner up in two runs this campaign and was gallant in defeat last time after working early to cross from a wide gate.
Placed in all three runs on soft and heavy tracks he looks perfectly placed here.
Blaike McDougal will do the steering and although he has drawn a bit sticky, it shouldn't pose too much of a problem in the small field.
RACE 2 - 1:35PM: LADBROKES RACING CLUB MAIDEN PLATE (1423 METRES)
Another Nephew showed nice ability last preparation with some solid performances and the form around him is holding up well.
The son of Sizzling caught the eye when resuming over 1400m at Echuca last month, making good ground through the field after settling back at the tail.
He will have taken good benefit from the run and has been kept up to the mark with a 1000m trial.
From the inside draw he can settle closer in the run for the Group One winning combination of Billy Egan and Patrick Payne.
RACE 3 - 2:10PM: GROWMASTER SALE 4YO+ MAIDEN PLATE (1423 METRES)
Labhuku resumed with an even effort over 1300m on the Sandown Hillside three weeks ago.
The daughter of Press Statement settled in the lead but was taken on in the early part and despite showing a good kick at the top of the straight, she just peaked late.
She will have taken plenty of benefit from the outing and this looks an easier assignment.
Carleen Hefel retains the ride for Pakenham trainer, Gemma Rielly.
RACE 4 - 2:45PM: MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE AMIDEN PLATE (1740 METRES)
Dulcet produced a solid effort on debut back in June to finish third before a short spell.
The Chris Waller trained galloper resumed a fortnight ago over 1300m at Bendigo and finished off strongly to get within half a length of the winner.
He steps straight up to 1740m and both runs have indicated that he'll be suited stretching out over further.
Beau Mertens goes onboard and with any luck from the wide draw he should prove hard to beat.
RACE 5 - 3:20PM: HIGGINS MACHINERY 7 MECHANICAL SERVIES BM64 HANDICAP FILLIES AND MARES (1210 METRES)
She's Pretty Rich resumes.
Despite going winless last preparation, the mare was in top form, placing on five occasions around some quality opposition.
She lines up here on the back of a pleasing jump out performance and has won first up previously.
The daughter of Written Tycoon drops back in grade, she excels on wet tracks and is set to enjoy a soft run from barrier 3 under Brian Higgins.
RACE 6 - 3:55PM: NO 1 CAR WASH / COFFEE PIT BM58 HANDICAP (1423 METRES)
Takara will have taken plenty of improvement from her first up run.
After settling towards the rear of the field she worked home nicely along the rail and just felt the pinch over the final part.
The slight step up in distance will suit and she drops back to BM58 company.
The Maher / Eustace team have elected to go with the claim, engaging Luke Cartwright to do the steering and take 3kgs off.
RACE 7 - 4:30PM: GROWMASTER SALE - THE VALLEY SPRINTERS CUPE SERIES HEAT 2 BM64 HANDICAP (1100 METRES)
Lady Di Di displayed plenty of natural talent in her first preparation, which saw compete at stakes level on two occasions and produce a very credible performance up the Flemington straight behind the likes of What You Need and Benedetta.
She returned from a well deserved break with a terrific effort at Sandown last month and has since been given a soft 800m jump out to keep her ticking over.
She drops back in grace and should receive every chance from gate six under Ben Allen, who takes the mount for Cliff Brown.
RACE 8 - 5:05PM: LADBROKE IT! BM64 HANDICAP (130 METRES)
Hesitate strips fitter for two recent runs.
The New Zealand bred mare found the well when resuming off a short break and then last start, when stepping out the mile, she was again strong through the line.
The step up in trip will suit and she does race well here.
Craig Newitt knows her well, having been aboard for of thirteen of her fifteen starts and he retains the ride for Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young.
