Sires’ Produce Stakes – Oohood
Oohood is without question the best maiden in the country, possibly in the world. After placing in the Blue Diamond Stakes and the Golden Slipper in back-to-back events, few could argue.
The I Am Invincible filly looks set to relish the 1400m trip and the form lines cannot be faulted. This should be the horse’s first-ever win.
Oohood is a $3.40 hope at Ladbrokes to win the Sires’ Produce Stakes

Australian Derby – Ace High
Ace High looks ready to peak in the Derby. After a strong performance in the Guineas last start despite covering additional ground, punters can back the David Payne runner with confidence. The colt has plenty of star power, registering a Victoria Derby win last spring.
From the perfect gate there should be no excuses for Ace High.
Ace High is a $5 hope in the Australian Derby at Sportsbet

TJ Smith Stakes – Redzel
Redzel should rubber stamp its credentials as the best sprinter in the land with a TJ Smith Stakes win. After a shock second placing in the Lightning Stakes the Everest winner bounced back smartly to win the Challenge Stakes with ease.
The five-year-old trailed beautifully in Sydney leading into this one and we’re confident that Redzel adds another G1 title to his already impressive resume.
Redzel is the $2.40 favourite at Neds to win the TJ Smith Stakes

Doncaster Mile – Humidor
We’ve already covered why we think Humidor will take out the feature on day one of The Championships, but it doesn’t hurt to go over the facts.
Humidor gets a great gate, has G1 form in the bank and gets the blinkers added following a strong win at Flemington in the Blamey Stakes.
Just get on.
Humidor is a $9 hope in the Doncaster Mile at William Hill
