Demonstrate has not had much luck in his recent races and he heads to Swan Hill on Friday for the Golden Topaz. He was out early on the Pro-Ride.

Last start Flemington winner Zourkhan has thrived since his win and was keen to go faster in his grass gallop later in the morning.

The steeple grass was riding in the good(4) range following rain overnight and during the morning, the markers out six metres with the gallops right-handed.

Racenet has compiled a list of times below with an analysis of the Tuesday gallops to assist punters.
