Randwick
TRACK: GOOD 4 - RAIL: +3m
RACE 1: 7. Lady Pankhurst (6)
Trainer:J.G.Sargent - Jockey:B.Shinn - Weight: 55.5kg
Improved sharply second-up when stepping back to 1000m and holding her ground well for second at Wyong.
Back up to the mile now, which looks ambitious, but sheโll roll forward and give herself every chance.
Big class rise though โ roll the dice with her!
___________________
RACE 2: 4. Sergeant Major (NZ) (3)
Trainer:C.Maher - Jockey:E.P.Brown - Weight: 55kg
Fair runs in both starts this prep, including a midfield finish behind Autumn Glow in the Darby Munro.
Looks ready to peak third-up and the rise to 1400m is ideal.
Bit one-paced at times, but genuine and should be around the mark.
Win bet at the priceโฆ

๐ฐRACE 3: 8. Money Team (16)
Trainer:B.S.Widdup - Jockey:C.Williams - Weight: 56kg
Flying this prep with four straight wins, including a dominant effort at Gosford when circling the field from midfield.
Unbeaten since joining the stable and gives every indication 1400m will suit.
Faces a tougher task now, but hard to knock the form.
Each Way claim.

๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐRACE 4: 2. Tempted (12)
Trainer:J.A.Cummings - Jockey:J.B.McDonald - Weight: 57kg
Huge run in the Golden Slipper, held up at a key moment before launching late to grab third behind Marhoona.
Had her measure prior in the Reisling and drops in class here.
Classy filly with a sharp turn of foot โ sheโs the one they all have to hold out.
Best Bet.
___________________
RACE 5: 8. Autumn Glow (5)
Trainer:C.J.Waller - Jockey:J.B.McDonald - Weight: 54.5kg
Kept her perfect record alive with a stylish first-up win in the Listed Darby Munro, cruising past the boys over 1200m.
Classy filly who looks destined for better things as she gets out in trip.
With J-Mac aboard again and natural improvement to come, sheโs the clear one to beat.

RACE 6: 5. Belle Detelle (7)
Trainer:C.J.Waller - Jockey:T.Berry - Weight: 56kg
Three-quarter sister to Verry Elleegant and starting to show a bit of the family flair.
Strong late burst to win the Adrian Knox last week off a freshen-up, proving she's tough and talented.
Steps up again in grade, but sheโs progressive, fit, and backing up quickly suits her.
If she can settle early, sheโs a legit threat in this.

RACE 7: 8. Alalcance (GB) (15)
Trainer:G.Waterhouse & A.Bott - Jockey:T.Clark - Weight: 52kg
Powerful staying mare who made a mess of them last start in the G2 Chairmans over 2600m.
That made it three wins on the trot since returning, and she looks like she's still climbing.
Proven on wet ground, bred to run two miles, and handles quick back-ups.
Theyโll have to catch her if she gets rolling early.
Genuine Group 1 superstar in the making...
___________________
๐ฐ๐ฐRACE 8: 1. Dubai Honour (IRE) (12)
Trainer:W.Haggas - Jockey:T.A.Marquand - Weight: 59kg
Top-class globetrotter who resumed with a dominant win in the Tancred Stakes over 2400m, letting down powerfully late.
Back in trip to 2000m here, but won this race in 2023 off a similar set-up. Has been Group 1 competitive across the globe, and thrives on soft ground.
Proven on the back-up and will be hard to hold out late.
We think heโs going to shock Via Sistina.

RACE 9: 6. Grinzinger Belle (NZ) (7)
Trainer:D.T.O'Brien - Jockey:D.Bates - Weight: 57kg
Tough mare in flying form. Showed her trademark front-running style and was perfectly rated to win the G2 Sunline Stakes last start by nearly 3 lengths.
Third-up now and unbeaten third-up previously, she's fit, hard, and suited over the mile.
Will roll forward and take plenty of catching, especially if the track plays to on-pacers.
Definite each way chance.

RACE 10: 3. Olentia (2)
Trainer:C.J.Waller - Jockey:T.Berry - Weight: 56kg
Back in trip but not out of form. Closed off nicely from the rear in the G1 Coolmore, beaten only 2.5L after struggling to take advantage of the good draw.
That followed another eye-catching finish behind Ameliaโs Jewel in the Guy Walter.
Now fourth-up and rock-hard fit, she'll appreciate a genuine tempo and is well suited at this track and trip.
Winning hope for sure, especially if they overdo it up front.
