Looking for Sun 'N' Sand, Arapaho and Changingoftheguard to press forward and set a solid tempo. Genuine young stayer TRAVOLTA (17) has been beaten by a couple of today's key rivals in lead-up races but the margins haven't been great. Probably box-seats from the inside gate and with the light weight he can show a turn of foot when produced. Double-figure odds are quite appealing. BIRDMAN (7) staked his claim last time out with a slogging win in the 2400m Colin Stephen. Needs to slot in somehow from the wide draw but with any luck he is a genuine threat. FLYING BANDIT (16) hasn't threatened in his two runs this prep over shorter trips, but his ratings under big weights have been solid. Drops a massive 10.5kgs and will strip fitter third-up. Nice one to throw in exotics at a price. SOUL OF SPAIN (9) is racing through the grades impressively this prep, unbeaten in three including the Newcastle Cup last time. D-Day now but with only 50.5kgs he gets his chance. GLORY DAZE (12) for Ciaron Maher loves Randwick and is another in the mix due to his light weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Travolta each-way.
