The Last Say: Tips, inside mail, market movers for Saturday's racing
The Peter Snowden-trained So You Think filly had to endure a wide barrier in her Magic Millions Guineas tilt where she ultimately finished seventh in the Gold Coast feature.
But with two trials under her belt, punters have rallied around Tuileries in race six, a benchmark 78 over 1200 metres, where she is even money despite drawing the extreme outside barrier.
King Of Roseau and he has been well supported to take out the final event on the card.
The three-year-old Capitalist gelding has had five starts since that Gold Coast appearance including a last start Rosehill success a month ago.
He's since had a Randwick trial to bring him up to the mark for today' assignment where punters have firmed him into $4.40 from his midweek quote of $6.50.

Race 3 No.2 HIGHWAY STRIP: Been well supported and easy to understand why. He's a progressive type that has established form in Highway grade and his trials have been very encouraging. From the good draw should be in the finish.
Four races down, four favourites home at @goulburnraces ðŸ'°

Race 5 No.10 AXIUS: Really attacked the line to win on the Kenso last time out with the runner-up on that occasion coming out and winning comfortably on Wednesday. Goes up in class here but will appreciate the rise in trip and just might have the most upside of this lot.
Axius is too good for them at Randwick, as he wins first up for @NockBraith and @cmaherracing! 🙌 @aus_turf_club @Dynamic_WONIT pic.twitter.com/cOyGJSZEPQ

Race 3 No.7 MERCHANT FLYER: Fourth up today, with each run at the mile, and on the quick back up after running a cracking third to two smart ones last week. Had the best 600m and 200m sections out of that race. Looks ready to win.

Race 6 No.3 APPIN GIRL: Ran a top third two starts back before not firing a shot last time out when well supported. Gets the blinkers on for the first time here and if that switches her on as connections hope she should take a power of beating at her pet 1000m distance.

BEST BET
Race 1 No.3 DUCHESS ZOU: Up to the 1400m after finishing third behind two smart types in stakes grade up the straight last time out. Small field suits, should get an economical run and hopefully get favourite backers off to a flyer.
Swift Circle & Duchess Zou settle down to fight it out in the straight, & the prior does enough to shed his maiden tag ðŸ'« @JohnnyA_24 pic.twitter.com/uH7bFzdV1p

Race 4 No.3 OYSTER LANE: It was impossible to miss his debut Caulfield run when finishing second after seeing open spaces. Lot to like how he attacked the line and with that experience is capable of going one better. Looks to have a future.
Watch the Purple Cap! ðŸ'¥
It's a stunning late surge from Sonofkirk who comes from a long way back to slice through the frontrunners & nail his maiden victory ðŸ'° @FreedmanRacing @jyemcneil pic.twitter.com/tLlIZ1Ghrm

'More time': why Lynagh craves more Wallabies starts
Relishing his new starting role, Tom Lynagh is hoping for one last crack at the British and Irish Lions to try to right some wrongs and help the Wallabies finish the showpiece series in style. After being thrown to the Lions as a Test rookie following a serious injury to Noah Lolesio, Lynagh performed indifferently in Australia's first two defeats to the tourists. The flyhalf put his lightly-framed body on the line and defended bravely in the series-opening 27-19 loss in Brisbane before helping the Wallabies to a big first-half lead in Melbourne last Saturday, only to commit errors that allowed the Lions back into the contest. Australia succumbing to a 29-26 loss to a controversial last-minute try stung Lynagh, but the son of a gun wants the chance to atone in game three in Sydney on Saturday night. "(I want) more time in that seat," the 22-year-old said on Tuesday. "You get a lot more time on the field so you can dictate the game a lot more. When you come off the bench, you've got to understand what role you've got to play and how the game is at that point. "But the jersey's only yours for the week if you're selected. You've just got to go out there and do your job and do your role and put a performance in. "Look, I think I've done all right. I'm a bit disappointed in my goalkicking so far. I feel like that's let myself and the team down a bit. "But in terms of the rest of it, it's been good. Just playing part of the system and just trying to do my role for the team and not overplay my hand." With the No.10 role a real trouble spot for the Wallabies, coach Joe Schmidt said pre-series he had hoped to blood Lynagh on several occasions last year. But an injury-ravaged season cruelled those plans before Lynagh missed the Wallabies' spring tour of the UK last November. "Yeah, having experience before the Lions series would have been great but I didn't get the opportunity to do so," he said, adding that he enjoys a great relationship with Schmidt. "I guess we'll never find out but, like I said, take it one week at a time. "It's been good. Being selected as 10 just tells you everything you need to know, really - that he's got trust and belief in you. "So that's all I've taken from it, really. He's always had that confidence in me ever since I joined the camp for the first time last year. "It's been really good and he's been really positive around everything." Despite the Wallabies coming off second best, Lynagh has loved having his legendary, London-based, 1991 World Cup-winning father Michael back home in Australia to watch the series. "My family back at home and in London, they're all there, they're all on holiday," he said. "So they're enjoying their time off and watching the games. We've shared lots of messages over the last couple of weeks and they've been very supportive from back over there. "We put in a good performance last week and hopefully we can try and do the same and get the result (on Saturday). "We led for pretty much 79 minutes in the last game and lost it in the 80th. That's footy for you. "But we can take plenty of confidence from that game last week, and even the second half in the first Test."

LAY OF THE DAY Race 2 No.6 THE STARS: Drawn wide in an open race. A worthy risk at anything less than $4. WARWICK FARM INSIDE MAIL INDIGO STAR (2) was no match for Stardeel but worked home okay for second over 1100m first-up on the Kensington. Raced three-wide without cover when third to Invisible Magic over 1400m last start. Looks like he will appreciate the step up to the mile. RASP (6) was third at Ballarat at his first run for a new stable before a good closing third at Bendigo over 1400m. Was fourth to Broadsiding in the Fernhill at his only go at this trip. DOLLARS (8) didn't have a lot of luck when beaten as favourite at Coffs Harbour. Handy second at Newcastle last start over this trip. BET: INDIGO STAR (2) to win. DUKE ATREIDES (8), the half-brother to Best Of Bordeaux, started favourite on debut when a two-length fourth to the very promising San Giovanni who won again on the weekend. This colt will take improvement from the run and drawn to be prominent. KOKATAHI (10) was good on debut when a three-quarter length third to Central Coast over 1250m at Canterbury on June 18. Followed up with a handy third to Tomato Toastie at Randwick on July 12. Back to maiden grade. THE STARS (6) placed at her last two runs on last campaign and returned with a second to Samarelle at Newcastle. BET: DUKE ATREIDES (8) each-way. AROHA STONE (7) was something beaten here two runs back when badly held up before finishing a nose behind Covert Thinking. Up in grade and found a strongly run 1800m tough when seventh to Aberlour. Back in grade and back to the mile suits. AUDREY'S LANE (3) resumed from an eight month lay-off with a handy second to Bella Corazon when giving away 3kg. With the benefit of that run, she came from midfield to beat the in-form California Secret at Newcastle. AUTUMN DREAM (6) was very good winning at Kembla last start. Ready to step up to city company. BET: AROHA STONE (7) each-way. TAZIMA (5) settled three back on the rails before running home strongly late for a three-quarter length fourth to Sammy Conquers All over 1400m on the Kensington at his Australian debut. Won over 2011m at his second and last run in England. FIORSUM FRED (9) was very unlucky at Tamworth two starts ago when held up. He finished eighth to Rajnish but should has gone close to winning. Jumped up in grade and beaten less than three lengths behind Boys Night out in the South Grafton Cup. Drops back sharply in grade and only goes up 2kg. PINK SHALALA (4) and KAPAKIRI (2) have claims. BET: TAZIMA (5) to win. NAVAL COMMISSION (1) should have run a place at the very least at Rosehill last start when held at two vital stages in the last 150m and finishing fifth behind Good Banter. Placed at his previous three runs as he was building in trip. Winner at this track and distance. HOVLAND (8) was beaten a nose second-up at Gosford before a nice win from Magicon over 1800m at Hawkesbury. Stepped up in class when a length fifth to Monarchs Brae on a heavy track at Canterbury. Up to 2200m for the first time and the blinkers come off. MAGICON (10) has been racing well and scored a deserved win over this trip at Grafton last start. BET: NAVAL COMMISSION (1) to win. CASSIEL (1) was kicked off his campaign with a good wins at Canterbury on Apr 21 and at Hawkesbury on June 17. Denied the hat-trick when stepping up to Saturday grade when runner-up to Bundeena in a Bm78 at Randwick. Back in grade and hard to beat. MABEL (6) hasn't won since Nov 2023 but she has run some good races. Was a nose second to Angel Fund in a Randwick Midway in January and was a little unlucky when fourth to Bundeena at Randwick last start. JAMBALAYA (5) resumes after a stylish trial win here on July 8. Has a win and two placings from his three fresh runs. BET: CASSIEL (1) to win. GOLDEN STRAAND (10) was a little green on debut when a length second to Sapphire Rose at Wyong before breaking through with a big Super Maiden win at Gosford. Jumped up to a Bm72 with a game second to Diddle Dumpling at Rosehill. THE REPLICANT (13) hasn't won since beaten Bluff 'N' Bluster over 1400m here on Oct 2, 2023 but is rarely far away. Placed his last two at Canterbury and drawn ideally. AFRICAN DAISY (5) ended an 889-day drought in winning a Rosehill Midway last start.

Australian spin star Nathan Lyon says there's a noticeable change to the once ‘reckless' Bazball
Australian spin star Nathan Lyon says England is transforming its once 'totally reckless' Bazball approach to mirror the win-orientated Aussies and are now playing a style they have championed for the past decade. Lyon has often downplayed England's touted ultra-aggressive style under coach Brendon McCullum and repeated his analysis on Tuesday. England leads what has become a feisty series against India 2-1 heading into the final Test this week before it prepares for the upcoming Ashes in Australia with players including the world's No.1 batter, Harry Brook, declaring his team has been 'too nice' in the past. Lyon, a self-labelled 'cricket nuffy', says he is watching the heated series with keen interest and is noticing a shift in the English way with winning now above entertainment in their goals. 'I think they're just doing what we've been doing for the last 10 years, playing a positive brand of cricket (and) trying to win games of cricket,' Lyon said. 'I think Bazball has honestly changed a little bit, they're now thinking about ways of how to win games, not being totally reckless. 'The conditions over here, it's always been a great competition between bat and ball … it's going to be challenging for their batters, challenging for our batters. 'At the end of the day and you want to see competition between bat and ball, I think that's crucial … all the fans, that's what they want to see as well.' Lyon was dropped for the first time in over a decade ahead of the final Test in the West Indies for eventual hat-trick taker Scott Boland. But the off-spinner isn't expecting to be carrying the drinks come the first Test at Perth Stadium later this year. Lyon says he is already studying the English and how he can navigate their aggressive style. 'I totally expect them to come out and attack me, I think every touring team comes and says they're going to attack the spinner,' he said. 'I am pretty used to that now, I've got no dramas with guys trying to attack me, it brings me into the game (and) I'm looking forward to that. 'I've got some plans and am already writing down a few things I want to try and put in play and working on. 'That's exciting, that's why you want to play against the best players in the game and they've got some of the best batters at the moment playing in their side. 'It's going to be a good challenge we should all be very excited about.'
