From Murray Baker
Horse : It’s A Dundeel
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 7, Australian Derby) He looks terrific. Will be leaving the blinkers on him as he scooped the last 2 races with them on.
Horse : Serpent
Message : (Nominated for Flemington Race 4, Galilee Series Final) Hasn’t started since he won the St. Leger in New Zealand, but he travelled well with his trip to Melbourne.
From Chris Waller
Horse : Permit
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 4, Chairman’s Quality) Won this race last year. Up in weight due to his consistent performance. He’s been handicapped up to his best but he’ll keep them honest.
Horse : Dystopia
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 8, Sapphire Stakes) Ran a super race in the Galaxy to finish 4th. Has tighten up a lot and expect her to improve. She is one of the better weighted horses in the race.
Horse : Arinosa
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 8, Sapphire Stakes) Model of consistency for the last 6 months. Big step up for her to take on better class mares at similar weights.
Horse : Wind Bender
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 3, Adrian Knox Stakes) She was a bit one pace last start but she’s certainly looking for this journey. May have to ride her a little bit more forward.
Horse : Royal Descent
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 3, Adrian Knox Stakes) She went super at Kembla Grange last start. She’s a class filly, the only concern is that she is at the end of a long preparation.
Horse : Beaten Up
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 6, Doncaster Prelude) He was very impressive last start in a very slowly run race. His English form was good but the mile may be a little short for him.
Horse : Class Is Class
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 6, Doncaster Prelude) Had a couple of trials. He comes on really well and looks a lot better than in the Spring. May need the run being 1st up.
Horse : Illo
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 6, Doncaster Prelude) Another imported horse that struggles to gain confidence and to acclimatised. But he trialled well and he looks in good shape.
Horse : Stout Hearted
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 6, Doncaster Prelude) His trials and his track work have suggested he has come back very well, looking for sharp improvement from him on his 1st up run.
Horse : Moriarty
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 6, Doncaster Prelude) First up from a spell. He’s heading towards a Queensland campaign. He’s capable but you’ll be lookig later down the track with him.
Horse : Hawkspur
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 2, Carbine Club) That 1st up run against older horses was good. He’s also heading towards a Queensland campaign with the Queensland Derby in mind. 1600m on Saturday will suit.
From Anthony Cummings
Horse : Diamond Costa
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 2, Carbine Club Stakes) His last start was full of merit and up to a mile will really suit him. He’ll be around the placings in the finish.
Horse : Coyote Miss
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 3, Adrian Knox Stakes) She has been pretty unlucky in her runs this preparation and very happy with the way he has gone.
Horse : Scandiva
Message ; (Nominated for Randwick Race 5, Sires Produce Stakes) Her 3/4 relation was sold for $1.2 million yesterday. Her last start win was excellent and she goes into theSires as a great chance.
Horse : Drago
Message ; (Nominated for Randwick Race 5, Sires Produce Stakes) An emerging talent.
From Peter Snowden
Horse : Epaulette
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 9, T J Smth Stakes) Tough race against Black Caviar. Just there to make up the number more or less.
Horse : Solemn
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 7, Australian Derby) Another tough race. The result looks to be foregone conclusion.
Horse : Champollion
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 5, Sires Produce Stakes) Genuine chance in the Sires.
Horse : Guelph
Message : (Nominated for Randwick Race 5, Sires Produce Stakes) Backing up from the Slipper and she’s a good chance in the race.
