R2 n7 REVELARE Forward on map to be on speed. 3rd up off 27 days drops 1kg and stays at 1600m. Last start BM64 Seymour sat 4th early on a very fast tempo and ran home late to win easily 2.3L when smashed in betting $1.95. Overall race figure was best of meeting and his closing speed off that tempo was quality despite being throttled right down before the line. Lightly raced well-bred 4Y0 who was scratched last Saturday when well in the market off a wide draw. Emerging young stayer, map suits and convinced he is a lot better than BM70 class.
R3 n1 SHINING SMILE Map suits behind the speed. Resumes off short 55 day break and two recent jump outs. Both jump outs she was ridden off the speed and closed off very strongly, they were excellent. Last prep was consistent in three starts winning Caulfield Heath before the break. He had perfect run and ride winning there with dominant closing figures. Has race experience over some of these today and will be very strong late off his recent jump outs.
R8 n4 CHORLTON LANE Maps back inside from draw. Deeper into prep drops 1.5kg off 28 days and ran 3rd 1000m Cranbourne jump out Jan 13 when finished off strongly under no riding in a strong heat. Last start Pakenham drew inside was slow away and went back 7L off the leader/winner Hero To Shock on a fast tempo running 3d beaten 0.5L at bigger odds. He was held up badly until late in race and should have won with outstanding closing figure. Dry tracker loves 1400m, this jockey is a concern but in the small field he will get last crack at these in straight and win.

R3 n8 HIGHWAY STRIP Positive early from wide draw. 2d up off 28 days and strong trial Warwick Farm Jan 20. Resumed Highway Randwick off 105-day spell sat 5th 3 wide early on a fast tempo (unsuited) and hung badly on home turn but still got to front in the straight off that before being mowed down late by Sir Remlap. That was a very strong Highway race and his run was huge. J Collet suits and should be too good for these despite with any luck early on map. Talented horse.
R5 n2 DON DIEGO DE VEGA Maps forward inside behind leaders. Resumes for the inform Neasham stable off 196 day spell and two trials. He was put under a lot of pressure late by J Mac winning his last 1200m trial Randwick Jan 14. Both runs last prep over 1800m in BM78 class on Soft tracks (first prep in Aust) were VG in quality figures. Strong stayer and now 2nd prep in Australia which is always better and the stable are going great. He gets to a dry track for first time today but should be too classy for these.
R8 n3 HEADLEY GRANGE Map 3P back inside. 3rd up off 14 days out to 1400m (+100m). Last start Wyong when 2nd up sat back 7th early 5L off leader on an even tempo but ran home strongly to win in fast time on an unsuitable track for him. Overall rating was good and he closed off well. Start prior resuming Randwick was dominant late off a slow tempo after being held up in straight when 2nd. He has come back in great form and peaks here 3 up now out to 1400m on the bigger track.

Drops 1.5kg stays at 1200m and recent trial was ridden quietly and ran home well late, very nice trial. Last start BM78 Eagle Farm was off 28 days 60kg sat back 6th on an even tempo and ran home hard late out wider to win by 0.6L when well backed. He had a dominant closing L200m in that race. Similar set up today and map suits, looks the winner.
