Randwick   20 Jun 2026
 
GOING: S(6)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post, +5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.52)  

Hot tempo expected from Hereward and Forecaster. PERFECT JUSTICE (8) has been close-up in his two runs back and should get the right tempo here to finish over the top of these. Motored late with Grima's claim for a respectable second over 1500m at this track. Can race a touch closer and get the job done. HEREWARD (6) indicated a win was imminent with a tough on-pace third over 1550m at Canterbury in BM72 class. Will appreciate the firmer surface and Randwick 1600m. Top-three contender. TAMBELOA (5) jumped in trip and grade and had excuses from the wide gate with a fading fifteenth over 2000m at Doomben in the G3 Rough Habit. Winkers go on with a recent 1000m trial win. Value chance. AUTUMN BLONDE (19) is progressing well this prep and will have little trouble running the trip on the limit weight. Gets her chance from the gate. THE MONA LISA (11) consistent mare with solid each-way claims from the better gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Justice look set to peak third-up.
