Randwick   25 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

THE AUTUMN SUN @ ARROWFIELD HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Just Legendary taking charge. RAGING FORCE (3) wasn't beaten far in the Group 3 Breeders Plate on debut and resumed with a spacious Maiden win at Muswellbrook jumping even money. He led in that and has trialled well at Wyong since with Berry up. He sticks aboard and the promising gelding can take the next step. JUST LEGENDARY (2) looked good at the trials and was narrowly beaten from the front at Gosford on debut. He's sure to improve off that and Clark will skip him over to the speed. A live chance. THE MAGIC MAN (1) resumes and creates plenty of interest. The colt led and did an alright job in Stakes grade when last seen and was narrowly beaten at Newcastle at his only fresh outing. Has a handy 2kg claim and looks ready to go. BRYANT (8) resumes gelded at Canterbury and it was a solid effort. He's been freshened and kept up to the mark with a trial. The gate is sticky, but he can't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Raging Force.
