ATHENS(6)-WIN
AQUAMARINE(2)-PLACE.

FOREVER YOURS has encouraging bloodlines, has been given runs by a work jockey, looks in fine trim.
TRAHERNE(5)-WIN
BRIGHT HALO(1)/FOREVER YOURS(7)-PLACE.
5. CONTINENTAL had won on objection from VELVET AMARI, who flopped badly as a favorite recently, looks tough at top weight to win.

NIGHT OF STARS won warming up over a mile, has impressed in mock, can repeat.HURACAN was a forward runner, has a good sire and has worked well.
NIGHT OF STARS(3)-WIN
CONTINENTAL (1)/BUBBLI BELLINI(2)-PLACE.

MISTER MAJESTIC was a well backed favorite who won going away at Bangalore, runs with hope again, opposition is stiff now.

MELINDA(4)-WIN
STRATEGIC MOVE(11)/GOLDEN BELLE(3)-PLACE.
