Interesting runner in Saturday’s Surround Stakes at Randwick is the unbeaten How Womantic. The filly clinched a trip with a strong gallop yesterday morning at Ballarat with the blinkers on. It’s another big step for How Womantic going into a Group One in just her 5th run.

Trainer @CalvinMcEvoy is hoping Xilong can handle the build up around Saturday’s Surround Stakes at Randwick. Missed a 1200m lead up race when playing up in the barriers. The filly was fine in a recent barrier trial. Wanted to be 2nd up in Surround so slightly vulnerable.

Catalyst appears to be right on the mark to win Saturday’s Australian Guineas at Flemington. Jockey @LaneDamian told trainer Clayton Chipperfield he certainly felt Catalyst had made good progress from a gallop prior to the CS Hayes run. More focused now in his work.

Trainer Adrian Bott told Sky Sports Radio today that Farnan will proceed to the Todman Stakes at Randwick on Saturday week. Stable feel the 2YO will have the right foundation after the Todman to be very competitive in the Golden Slipper.
