Plenty of pace with Limburg and Stallone leading from Delrico. STALLONE (8) led for home but had nothing left at the end of the tough Randwick mile in Saturday grade last start. More at home around this turning track in midweek company. Expecting a spike in form with the blinkers going on today. CELTIC SIN (10) won her second race from three this prep when she easily accounted for a Class 1 field over 1500m at Hawkesbury last time out. Really hitting her straps this prep and is ready to transition to city racing. NARBOLD (4) was edged out in a BM64 at Bendigo two back before struggling against far better opposition at Flemington last start. In the mix back in this more suitable race. CENTENARIO (5) failed to threaten first-up at Hawkesbury but has plenty of scope for improvement. Last start Newcastle Class 1 winner STARPHISTOCATED (9) has more improvement in store at just the third run of the preparation. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stallone to turn things around.
