Randwick R4 - 1300m The Agency Real Estate BM64

 

ISLAND DEC is well in here, and the Aeliana, Dominetta form line through the Reginald Allen just has to be the strongest to take. The former of those won the Carbine, with Dominetta placing in the Vanity.

 

ISLAND DEC finished an unlucky 1.6L 8th in the Reg, and notably was 1000m to 1400m there. Sets up very well to sit back and finish over them. She wont be on her own looking to make a run, with BLAZING HARRY bringing good closing figures his past two. I think the filly has him covered but concede he is a good horse and he will be in the finish. COLOPHON will be forward and boxing on. Suited slightly back in trip. FLYING RANI is one at odds that can improve. A little inconsistent, but include in exotics.

Randwick R5 - 1600m Big Dance OPEN

 

Glaring figures from HERE TO SHOCK and GRINGOTTS coming into this, and the obvious for HERE TO SHOCK is going to be the weight, and then for GRINGOTTS, the barrier.

I’m not quite comfortable with HERE TO SHOCK at the trip either, so I have marked harshly. GRINGOTTS almost has no option bar to flop and look to run on.

All that being said, it is DETONATOR JACK that I believe is good value to them. Put a line through the Epsom run given his run in transit and if you work closely to his Winx Stakes and 7+ Stakes runs, he has to be around the mark. No idea what they do from the draw, however a big price to take that risk.

TAVI TIME is the best set up of the key chances, and with that I have marked him accordingly. He doesnt yet have the figures of the others, however trending the right way, here 3UP and I am forecasting a new peak.

SKY LAB has had plenty of work put into him, akin to last prep where he came out and won the Scone Cup, in what was a pretty solid field. He has to go in everything.

Flemington R7 - 3200m Melbourne Cup Group 1 HCP

 

LAND LEGEND was impressive winner in the Group 1 Metropolitan where he quickened and made a sustained run around them.

 

The query for him is, he pulled hard through the Caulfield Cup, again making a sustained run, and boxed on fairly.

 

If he can relax, and we work to that Metrop effort, gee he is a good hope. Verry Elleegant had similar query – and we know what happened there.

Yes, I fell over. Absurde maybe doesn't win, but with even luck goes very close.
