Solid pace with Gunroom finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. RIMBAUD (4) drops back a trip after battling away to finish second over 1400m at the Farm three weeks ago. Has been in the money at six of nine runs at or around today's distance. Should race handy and give a good account again. SILENCIO PORFAVOR (10) stepped up to Saturday grade and was only beaten 1.6 lengths last time out over 1200m at Rosehill. Beautifully drawn and gets in nicely after Grima's claim. Poses a serious threat. UNSTOPABULL (12) misses the kick every time which makes life tough. Closed well but it was too little too late last start over 1200m here. Sure to be running on again. SNACK BAR (1) twice placed at Group 3 level as a younger horse but cannot recapture that glory. Loomed to win but couldn't finish the job at Rosehill last time. Must be considered dropping back to this level. OAKFIELD NEPTUNE (8) didn't feature at Randwick last start over 1100m. Best form comes at this trip so she is capable of turning things around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rimbaud each-way.
