Randwick   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: S(6)

DRINKWISE PLATE 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.34)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. Plenty of nice types here as well, perhaps none more so than FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (6), a filly by Zoustar on debut for the Michael Freedman yard. She looked very impressive winning her latest trial at Canterbury and should take plenty of beating first time out. CUSTOM (5) resumes for her second campaign off the back of two nice trials. She bumped into some smart types in her maiden campaign and draws for every chance here. BESIDE THE OCEAN (1) is a filly by Zoustar on debut for the Waller yard. She's had two trials, winning the first nicely. Respect any market moves. BLINKED (3) has won a trial since struggling here first up. She showed ability last time in and could be a quick improver now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Fairway To Heaven.
