A keen contest with Party For Two and Mr Galazi leading from Bundeena. PARTY FOR TWO (3) strips fitter second-up from the spell and has the reliable Gollan/Lang combination. Gets 1.5kg off with the claim and looms as the horse to beat in her sweet spot. Winner second up in the past and can repeat the dose this time. The well-related BUNDEENA (6) (half to G2 winner Vo Heart) has looked good in both Randwick efforts this campaign and will get a gun run from gate two. Top-three credentials. SIMBU (7) goes well for hoop Jones who has three wins and a placing from six steers. Racing well of late and must be included in calculations. FRILLED (4) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Party For Two.
