Speedy mare Gregers remains undefeated this campaign with a strong win to take out the Group 3 Sportingbet Sprint Series Heat 1 Stakes. Backing up an impressive win two weeks ago, she stepped up to beat multiple Group race winners A Time For Julia and Commanding Jewel, who ran second and third on resuming, while past Victoria Oaks winner Dear Demi looked very good first up and looks to be on the right track ahead of a Cups campaign, as did a few other runners, suggesting that the mares division throughout the spring could be yet again very competitive. But the winner looks well, and will take improvement from her rivals to beat over a sprint course, especially at Caulfield. Back to Rosehill, runners are headed to the barriers for the Listed Premiers Cup over 1800 metres. Some progressive stayers coming through this race, with plenty of imports in their early days of the campaign, with the favourite being the Chris Waller-trained Hes Your Man, who is seen as a potential Caulfield Cup favourite. Gai Waterhouse has two strong chances in Bonfire and Greatwood, while Peter Moodys Italian Derby runner-up Wish Come True, Godolphins Australian Derby runner Tupac Amaru, and the Auckland Cup winner and runner-up in Who Shot Thebarman and Celtic Prince also feature. Going with Hes Your Man here in what could be an early pointer to future staying races. Meanwhile at Hunter Stadium, Newcastle Knights have turned around an early deficit to lead Parramatta Eels 18-12 with 20 minutes or so to go. A Knights win will give great hopes to Brisbane Broncos finals chances.
