CES SOIREES LA (14) may have been in the best part of the track and flattered a little the other day but I still loved the way she hit the line and I am sure the extra 100m will suit her. There is a bit of value in her. SMASHING EAGLE (4) did his thing the other day giving a mile start and charging late.
Maybe James McDonald can make things happen for him here. BUNDEENA (2) has found winning form of late and he was dominant last start. He does have that wide draw again and is sneaking up in the weights now.
HERB (3) will be a much better horse from a better draw. He’s a big improver. Ray Thomas : I didn’t mind HEADSTOCK (6) each way.
He made a wide run from back in the field and stormed home to win at Kembla Grange last start. Headstock is in career-best form with two wins from his last three starts, Tommy Berry takes the ride, he drops 3kg, will appreciate the big Randwick track and is at generous odds of $13. BUNDEENA (2) is another in great form but the wide draw is a big leveller.
WELL TIMED (5) was run down by Bundeena when resuming but meets that horse 2kg better at the weights. Well Timed also needs luck early from his draw. SMASHING EAGLE (4) is alwa.
