In form 3YO Sea of Life will return to the Kensington track Wednesday in a bid to make it three wins on the trot on that track. Trainer John O’Shea certainly looking at Rosehill Guineas if SOL is again strong through the line.

The filly did have a Melbourne Spring preparation so it’s helped her to settle nicely.
Emeralds has also been scratched from tomorrow’s Randwick meeting. Trainer @jsargentracing says the filly has a bruised heal that should recover in the next few days with some swimming.

Supreme Idea has been scratched from tomorrow’s Sweet Embrace at Randwick. @FreedmanRacing have had a look at next weeks weather suggesting some rain. Feel that suits filly better to tackle the Riesling Trial.

Trainer Mike Moroney @BallymoreStabls was upbeat about the chances of Des Moines in the first race at Flemington tomorrow. Had time off due to pulled muscle last year. Rates highly this Autumn campaign. ‘Big shake tomorrow’.

Interesting runner tomorrow at Randwick is Imaging in the Liverpool City Cup. Formerly with Dermot Weld in Ireland. Imaging went around Tuesday and showed good dash in the Standout trial.

Chris Waller stable thinking 1400/1600 will be ideal.
On tomorrow’s TAB Highway at Randwick, Tamworth trainer Nick Dixon has travelled to Sydney today with Depth that Varies.

Jockey Jay Ford not worried by wide draw for a horse that does get back. Worked in blinkers comfortably at home.
Trainer @GregEurell is hoping for a bit more luck tomorrow for Blazejowski in the Shaftesbury Avenue at Flemington. No luck first up at a key stage but only beaten 1.75 lengths. Another 1400 suits his strength.

Trainer @GRyanRacing says tomorrow’s Surround Stakes at Randwick looks a query at this level for Heart of the Oak but it’s a suitable race going towards the Kembla Grange Classic in a fortnight.

2YO Time is Precious has arrived Melbourne in good shape.
Tommy Gold runs in tomorrow’s Skyline Stakes at Randwick. Trainer John O’Shea is confident 2YO has made good progression off recent runs. If runs well and in Pago Pago, the Slipper option would be attractive.
