Listed Lander Toyota Ladies' Day Cup, $150,000

Archedemus (Lope De Vega {Ire}) may not have won in nearly 18 months, but the Team Hawkes-trained 7-year-old goes into this race as one of the leading chances, having won the 2019 Listed Hawkesbury Cup over this track and distance.

He was third in the Listed Weekend Hussler S. two back before a slightly flat effort at Randwick last start. He is expected to improve back to this track.

Looks Like Elvis (All American) ran a huge race when fifth in the G1 Epsom H. and while he didn’t back that up last time out at Randwick, he should be able to figure in the finish here for trainer Jarrod Austin.

Ultra-consistent mare Savacool (NZ) (Savabeel) is on the quick back-up from her solid sixth in the G3 Rosehill Cup last Saturday and should appreciate getting back on firmer ground. She won the Rowley Mile for Waller and her jockey Tommy Berry here back in August.

Military Zone's (Epaulette) old form is good enough to win this, but he too is a long-time between wins for Peter and Paul Snowden.
