RANDWICK PARLAYRACE 1 (9) MORE SUNDAYS: This superbly bred 3YO is unbeaten in two trials and one race start, laying the foundation for what could be an excellent career. He was always in command of his debut race over 1100m at Geelong on August 6 and then turned heads with a stunning trial win over 895m at Rosehill on August 20 when he surged past his rivals in great style, running faster time than the top class Pierata on the day- and he could have gone quicker. Exciting prospect.
RACE 4 (2) BRIMHAM ROCKS: Chris Waller has this promising import set for his first Australian win after a pleasing first-up third over 1600m at Randwick on August 4 between two good trials, a typical Waller preparation for his staying types. He’s the winner of four races in the UK and his first two starts over 2000m and 2400m in Victoria in the autumn left no doubt that he would add to that record in Australia. Strong lead that Bowman sticks with him after he resumed behind the classy Avilius at Randwick - and we know that is strong form,RACE 9 ((7) BEST OF DAYS: Hard to have missed the first Australia start by this Godolphin import at Randwick on August 18 when he finished a luckless seventh behind Kaonic over 1400m when he was slow to jump and then was left climbing over their backs with nowhere to go over the last 200m. Holds huge scope for improvement off that effort and while he will no doubt appreciate something longer in time, some genuine pace in the field will give James McDonald the chance to give him a better run than last time.
