|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably The Novelist and Life Coach.
ARKANSAW KID (1) was a touch worked up before the start of his last run at Randwick and did well to fight on strongly for fifth after being blocked for room early in the home stretch. He has been competitive in the best of class in his career and should be at his peak fitness third up from a spell. A wide gate is no help but a win would be no surprise. GUMDROPS (9) won at Moonee Valley second up this prep and then was fifth here a fortnight ago and looked to have plenty of improvement in him that day. She is nicely weighted and will welcome Damian Lane back into the saddle. This is a nice target for her and she can get the job done. SKYBIRD (8) stuck on bravely at Bendigo when resuming there 2 weeks ago. She was doing her best work last and the extra 100 metres will suit her second up. She strips fitter and is not out of this. THE NOVELIST (2) folded up badly in the home stretch at Randwick last start after a promising run fresh up at Rosehill. He is worth another chance in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gumdrops each way.
