Standouts:

Race 4, N7 Brazen Lady – Knocking on the door after consecutive placings and will find the BM64 grade more to her liking. She will look to cross from gate 9 and with a soft run on speed she will be in this a long way on current form. She has the highest SFR (statfreaks rating) in this race and the 6th highest SFR at the meeting. Damian Lane is going at a strong 26%-win strike rate when riding in middle distance races and a huge 50%-win strike rate when riding leaders. Damian Lane also has an excellent 23%-win strike rate when riding horses that are ranked 2nd in the market.

Race 8, N4 Sandpaper – Worked home well in strong BM84 race at Moonee Valley first up and should find this an easier assignment second up. Strips fitter for that run and is a winner twice second up from four attempts. He looks likely to drift back from the awkward gate but has the turn of foot late to be hitting the line strong. He has the 2nd highest SFR in this race and the 12th highest SFR at the meeting. Damian Lane is going at a strong 25%-win strike rate when riding in sprint races and an excellent 26%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle off-midfield. Damian Lane is also going at a very impressive 53%-win strike rate when riding favourites.
