6) JUVENILE - Can the undefeated superstar OFFICER overcome a dead rail and contenders like SIPHONIC, CAME HOME plus another undefeated opponent in European phenom, JOHANNESBURG? Or is yet another long-shot about to hit the wire first?
7) TURF - European toughies FANTASTIC LIGHT and MILAN take on local battlers WITH ANTICIPATION, TIMBOROA and HAP. All give it a shot but FANTASTIC LIGHT becomes the day's only chalk to earn his favoritism!
