RANDWICK: RACE 8 @ 4:35 PM
Golden Rose Stakes winner MILITARIZE (1) resumed over 1400m last time out behind Fangirl when hit the line late to run second in the G2 Apollo Stakes at this track. Goes just as well second-up and ready for this trip and further now. Hard to hold out. Spring Champion Stakes winner TOM KITTEN (2) is third-up here after drifting back before closing off nicely when fifth over 1400m in the G2 Hobartville Stakes at Rosehill on February 24. Ready for the mile now and will be powering late. Group 2 winner CELESTIAL LEGEND (3) is a progressive Dundeel colt with an exciting future. Showed a good turn of foot when a slick 2 len winner over 1400m in the G2 Hobartville Stakes at Rosehill second-up. First time at the mile today and will need a good ride from the outside gate. Group 2 placegetter LES VAMPIRES (6) will go forward again with stablemate Ganbare after sticking on well when third in the G2 Hobartville Stakes last time out. Trip shouldn't pose a problem and can sneak into the minor money.
SELECTIONS: Militarize to win.

FLEMINGTON: RACE 2 @ 11:15 AM
YOUNG WERTHER (2) looks awfully hard to beat in this. He was hard in the market first up at Caulfield and battled on well for third, pulling up with excuses post race. The last time he was at Flemington he ran third in the G1 Champions Stakes. Very well placed at the set weights. BERKELEY SQUARE (5) has had two runs back from a spell and worked home well in both. Set to peak here up in trip. FAWKNER PARK (7) is a promising type who hit the line well first up at Rosehill over 1400m. Quickly up in trip and he could measure up. NORMANDY BRIDGE (6) resumes. He was in good form last time in but might need this run, especially on good ground. BERMADEZ (4) is in the mix.
SELECTIONS: Keen on Young Werther.
