2022 Thousand Guineas winner Madame Pommery was superb when resuming with 58.5kg’s, hitting the line with gusto behind Pericles, getting as close as anyone has to that in-form horse this prep. She wasn’t suited dropping back in distance second-up, and is sure to relish a mile now. The wide draw is no concern in these big Randwick handicaps, but the only niggle is she is yet to win on better than heavy ground.

The four-year-olds are so well suited in these spring handicaps, and Rediener is the one arriving on the scene with a sense of timing. His win in the Bill Ritchie was soft with the promise of more to come, and he’s now won four of his past five.

Nugget wasn’t far away in fourth in the Theo Marks last start, and has Mr Brightside form, from the All Star Mile and Doncaster in the autumn.

The Tramway is a another key lead-up race along the way, won by the scratched Pericles. Hope In Your Heart attacked the line in her usual style, and will be an honest winning chance as always.
