R4 n3 CHINNY BOOM 5th up off 35 days and no public trials since. Rises 2.5kg out to 1200m (+100m) off last start win Gold Coast when sat 4th won by 0.8L at $1.45. Won last start off a perfect run and ride off an even tempo in only plain overall figures but she did close off in fastest L200m for the meeting. That track at Gold Coast that day was disgusting so not sure what that actually means for today anyway. All prior runs this prep excellent including 2nd here to Lady Laguna beaten 0.8L when wide trip on a fast tempo and held up top of straight. That run wins this race by lengths. Clear top pick.
R5 n14 SIMPLY REFUSE Maps inside 3P back 4th up off 10 days drops 1.5kg off last start 2nd here to Aswaat when sat 8th ran home late beaten 0.4L at $5. Went right back there after being slow away on a very slow tempo but closed off very well with 8th fastest L200m of the meeting. Lightly raced well bred mare that is yet to see a fast tempo in her career (6 starts) but has always been strong late regardless. Gets fast speed up front today and a good map so expect her to explode late over the top of these and win today.
R7 n10 TORABELLA Leads and controls on slow tempo at 3rd race start off 31 days drops 3.5kg back to 1350m (-310m). That is not normally a good set up off 31 days/no trial but she still looks to get control of the speed and lead these. That would give her a real edge this field today. Both wins in weaker class she has led on even tempos and she has closed off both well on good and soft ground. They will obviously be aiming her at better staying races over the winter carnival which would explain the 31-day break and this race looks a very good race to kick off that campaign

R5 n6 SCHWARTZ Great map 4th fence on leaders back 2nd up off 21 days (original spell was 133 days so all good) drops 1.5kg stays at 1200m. Resumed Rosehill sat 2nd ran 2nd beaten 0.5L by Brave Mead at $6 when easy late in betting and closing figures there only plain. He was way too keen fresh that day and will improve a lot off that today 2nd up. Drying track a plus for him and proven out to 1400m. Quality colt sure to be suited off this tempo- he is yet to race in a fast race and will charge late today off this map.
R8 n8 VIA SISTINA Maps perfectly MF and OS 3P back away from the heat 2nd up off 21 days (original spell was 154 days so 21 days is all good). Resumed sat back on slow tempo and powered over the top of them late winning Rosehill 2000m Good 4 by 1.2L at $2.30 and was smashed late in betting. That race was run at a crawl speed (today’s won’t be) but her closing figures were off the chart. She has an outstanding record at 2000m in some of the world’s best races and it is very hard to see how she doesn’t actually improve today with a guaranteed fast tempo to chase and natural fitness improvement. Has outstanding 2nd up stats in UK also clear top pick today.
R9 n2 ZOUGOTCHA Maps very well 4th inside on leaders back 3rd up off 28 days and no public trial since. Out to 1600m (+100m) off last start win Rosehill Slow 6 Group 1 HDCP when brave late to win by 0.3L off a perfect run and ride. She gave them all weight there and was still too good. Draws inside again here which should ensure another very economical map against what looks a stronger field today but loves Randwick. High quality Group 1 mare so well suited at WFA.
R10 n4 TASHI Maps very well 6th outside 3P back 5th up off 21 days rises 1kg stays at 1200m. Last start 2nd Rosehill to Chain Of Lightning when sat 7th ran home hard late for 2nd beaten 0.7L at well backed $6.50- could argue she should have won that race which is a great reference point for today. She had 4th fastest L200m of meeting- which was excellent. Prior to that won here BM88 Good 4 beating Pereille and Our Kobison which again is very strong form lines for this class of race. Clearly on top with any luck in running early

R7 n7 BELLE ET RICHE Maps well forward inside behind leaders but not sure inside alleys an advantage this track 3rd up off 14 days rises 2kg stays at 1400m. Last start 2nd Flemington to He’s Our Bonneval sat 12th charged late beaten 0.5L at $6.50. Excellent close there off a Fast tempo after being slow away. Only 3 wins 17 starts with 9 placings so can be a bridesmaid but well placed back to mares grade off last run and overall figures are VG for this race.
R10 n10 CHORLTON LANE Maps well MF and back off speed- ideal map this track and tempo resuming off 158 days and ran 2nd Donald 1050m trial March 20 beaten 1.8L. Dry tracker with good first up stats and still only lightly raced so his best from is still ahead of him. Hard to assess overall fitness today and market closer to race time very important for him. His best form wins this race and he is destined to race lot better class than today later in prep

R7 n1 HELEVA DEEL is clearly the class runner of this field and steps out to her pet distance at 4th run back from a spell, gets a handy claim for promising apprentice and looks the winner.
