The Michael Freedman-trained colt gets the addition of blinkers which should sharpen his focus, and the booking of Tommy Berry is significant. Drawn to get a good run from barrier 5 and should improve second-up with natural progression.

Precise Air Mdn Hcp
Ichiban Koji brings the most consistent form to this race with two thirds from three starts. Second-up today where he has a placing from one attempt, and the booking of Nash Rawiller is a positive. Likely to be on-pace which suits the track pattern.
Valentiago brings solid form credentials with two seconds from four career starts and has proven ability on soft tracks. The Peter Snowden-trained gelding is first-up from a spell but has shown ability fresh in the past. Tom Sherry takes the ride and the slight weight relief is a positive. May need to overcome settling back in the field on a track that typically favors on-pace runners.
The Gary Portelli-trained colt should improve second-up and is drawn to get a good run from barrier 7.

Randwick Mayor''s Cup Mdn Hcp
Balmoral Castle brings the strongest form credentials with placings in both career starts. The filly has drawn ideally in barrier 7 and should get a perfect run in transit.
With Jason Collett aboard and drawn to get a good run, she represents strong each-way value.
The Richard Litt-trained filly is likely to improve second-up and has drawn well in barrier 10.
The Chris Waller-trained filly is second-up from a spell and drops significantly in class from previous runs. While drawn wide in barrier 18, the 3kg claim from apprentice Siena Grima reduces her weight to just 53kg. Her recent run at Kembla Grange showed promise and the step up to 1300m should suit.

The ''Crewy'' John Brady (Bm64)
Contaldo brings strong recent form with a close 2nd at Gosford over 1600m. The significant class drop from previous overseas racing is a major positive, and he's perfectly drawn in barrier 3 on a track that favors inside gates. Nash Rawiller is a strong booking, and his second-up record (1-1-0 from 4) suggests improvement. The step up to 1800m looks suitable based on his racing pattern.
Lennox comes off a last-start win at Gosford over 1600m and has a strong second-up record (1-1-2 from 4 starts). While drawn wide in barrier 8, he's shown versatility in his racing pattern and should handle the step up to 1800m based on his previous racing over longer trips. His consistent form (2-2-3 from 13 starts) suggests he'll be competitive again.
Wandjad brings a perfect soft track record (2-0-0 from 2 starts) which is significant given the current track conditions. His last start 3rd at Newcastle over 1600m indicates he's in good form, and the step up to 1800m should suit based on his racing pattern. Well-drawn in barrier 4 with only 55kg, he gets conditions to suit and has Tom Sherry aboard.
Winning Point represents value after a strong 4th last start at Canterbury over 1900m. She's perfectly drawn in barrier 1 and gets in with just 51.5kg after Siena Grima's claim. The significant class drop is a major positive, and her heavy track record (1-0-3 from 5) suggests she'll handle any deterioration in conditions. Her recent form is trending in the right direction.

Fidelity Capital Australia (Bm64)
Second-up today with a strong record in this pattern, he's shown tactical versatility and handles soft ground well. The step up in class is offset by his rapid improvement and strong finishing burst. Tim Clark is a positive jockey booking.
Written Scandal brings strong recent form, finishing 3rd in a BM72 last start behind Miss Spacegirl. Well drawn in barrier 5 to get a good run. The main query is her second-up record and weight of 58kg.
Miss Spacegirl brings strong credentials as a last-start winner in higher grade (BM72). Her soft track record is excellent with 2 wins and a place from 4 starts, and she's a consistent performer with 3 wins and 4 places from 12 starts. Second-up today where she's placed twice previously. The wide barrier is the main concern.
Emery represents value as a last-start winner with an improving profile. The 57kg is manageable and Reece Jones is riding in good form.

Vinnie @ Yarraman Park (Bm64)
Lightly-raced filly from the Waterhouse/Bott stable who has shown significant promise in just two starts. Gets a perfect draw in barrier 7 with Rachel King aboard and should get an ideal run just off the pace. The 3yo weight advantage is significant and she appears to have more upside than most rivals.
The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained mare has shown consistent improvement and has a solid record second-up. Drawn to get a good run from barrier 11 and should settle midfield with cover. Has proven ability on soft tracks and looks ready to peak third-up.
The Nacim Dilmi-trained mare has shown consistent improvement throughout her career and appears to be hitting peak form. Drawn well in barrier 6 and should get a good run midfield with cover. The likely fast tempo should suit her finishing style.
Her soft track record is excellent with 2 wins and a place from 5 starts. While facing a class rise, her strong win/place strike rate of 29%/43% suggests she can be competitive at this level.

Toyota Forklifts (Bm72)
Mirra Impact brings a strong 38% win strike rate and excellent soft track credentials (2:1-0-0). The return to blinkers is a significant gear change that should sharpen his focus, and Nash Rawiller is an elite jockey for these conditions. Has tactical versatility to settle midfield and finish strongly in what should be a genuinely run race.
His soft track record (2:1-0-0) is excellent, and the gear change to visors for the first time could provide further improvement. Tyler Schiller is a positive jockey booking, and the horse should get a nice midfield position in a genuinely run race.
Rolling Magic brings solid recent form with a close 2nd last start at Rosehill over 1300m. The inside barrier is a significant advantage at Kensington, and Joshua Parr should be able to utilize his tactical speed to secure a forward position. The main concerns are his poor soft track record (2:0-0-0) and the top weight of 62.5kg, but his class and consistency make him a genuine contender.
The advantageous barrier 4 should allow him to secure a good position in midfield. While his soft track record is limited (2:0-0-1), his overall profile suggests he can handle the conditions, and the 13-day turnaround is ideal.

TAB (Bm64)
Heuristic brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly in class after a good 2nd in BM84 company two starts back. Excellent record on soft tracks and the Bjorn Baker/Joshua Parr combination is a positive. The fast tempo should suit his midfield running style.
Laurel Hill comes off a last-start win at Newcastle and has been racing consistently with 5 placings from her last 10 starts. Her soft track record is solid and she's well-weighted with 55.5kg.
Hydrometer will likely take up the running from barrier 1 and could prove hard to catch if able to dictate terms. His second-up record is solid and his recent form has been consistent. The main concerns are his unproven record on soft tracks and whether he can maintain his position if the tempo is genuinely fast. Still, his tactical speed gives him strong claims.
His soft track record is outstanding with 4 wins from 12 starts, and he's a dual winner at this distance.

Cogburn Worlds Fastest Horse @ Widden (Bm64)
His 38% win rate and particularly strong second-up record (3 wins from 4 attempts) are compelling. Maps perfectly from barrier 1 to be on-pace in a race that should suit his running style. The soft track is the main query.
She's lightly raced with just 7 starts but has shown ability with a 1-3-1 record. The class rise is significant, but she gets in well at the weights and has Tommy Berry aboard.
Starboard returns from a spell with a strong fresh record (1-1-0 from 2 attempts) and has Tim Clark aboard. His overall record of 2-2-1 from 7 starts shows consistency, though he's carrying topweight of 61.5kg. His last run was poor, but his previous form was solid. The soft track is a query as his best performances have been on good surfaces. Maps to get a good run from barrier 7.
He's proven at this distance with 3 wins from 6 attempts and carries just 54kg. While unproven at this track and questionable on soft going, his recent performances suggest he's in career-best form.
