RANDWICK PARLAY

RACE 3 (1) CRISTOBAL: Confident this has been a target race for this Godolphin filly with two lead-up efforts in stronger company fitting her well for her first start over 1400m. Her only start on a soft track last season resulted in a debut win over the classy Miss Fabulass before she was placed in the G3 Magic Night behind Sunlight, form that is an excellent reference for this company. Last start when second up she really found the line when a close third behind the good colt Gem Song over 1300m at Rosehill and with Hugh Bowman retaining the ride she sets up perfectly for the return to her own sex, notably with blinkers on for the first time.

RACE 8 (12) EGG TART: Have to stick with this class mare after her last start third in the Hill Stakes when she probably felt the firm track. Now we have had a week of rain and with that extra run under behind her this has to be her right day as she is a nob in the wet and her record shows she gets better the deeper she goes into a preparation. She boasts four wins from five starts on soft and heavy ground and will have no fitness excuses now that she has had a 2000m run under her belt.

RACE 9 (5) ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN: With most of his rivals coming out of the ATC Metropolitan with some considerable weight variations I’m happy to rely on this import’s strong fourth under the wfa conditions of the Hill Stakes (2000m) to have given him the right grounding for his first Australian start over a true staying trip. He’s a G2 winner of six races from 1900m to 2400m in the UK and France with four of those wins on soft tracks and there is plenty of confidence in the Waller stable that he is set to find that form now that he gets some favourable give in the ground.
