RANDWICK PARLAY

RACE 2 (3) NEUTRALITY: Expect this classy type to make the necessary improvement from his fighting second to the highly rated Graff in the G3 San Domenico Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill when resuming on August 25. That was only his third career start after interruptions to his 2YO season that saw him win on debut and finish a creditable fourth in the Silver Slipper. His trial form has been impressive and he can put his stamp on this race under the set weights scale.

RACE 7 (7) FUTOOH: This is an evenly matched group of 3YO fillies but this talented miss from the Lindsay Park team has the course and distance form to make her a great gamble at value odds. She gets a big tick as a two-time winner at Randwick and unlike some of her rivals has no distance issues at 1400m after she ended her 2YO season with a strong Listed win over 1600m at this course in April. Showed she was ready to make her mark as a spring filly with her late closing third in the Silver Shadow Stakes over 1200m at this course and must be in better shape for this event as she gets the rails draw and will relish the extra 200m.

RACE 9 (11) SINGLE BULLET: He may have just the one win in 14 starts, admittedly the G3 Pago Pago Stakes as a 2YO, but his nine minor placings in some high rating Group races sees him beautifully placed in this Benchmark 88 event with the advantage of a 2Kg claim reducing his weight to just half a kilo over the limit. He was out of luck when a resuming third over 1100m at Rosehill on August 25, an effort sandwiched between two excellent trial wins. Going well and the favoured draw will give him every chance.
