Group 1 racing returns to Randwick on Saturday. Track is currently rated a Soft 6, expect an advantage to be midfield and off the rails.
Randwick R5 1. Top Ranked
3rd 2L to Lost And Running at Newcastle of 1300m on Aus debut. Then 5th 1.4L to Verry Elleegant over 1600m on heavy, first-up last prep. Trialled nicely for return and will enjoy a solid run-in transit here.

Randwick R6 5. Zougotcha
Beat home the smart In Secret in the silver shadow last start. He was $18 into $13 there. Has relished the heavy tracks in first two starts running good time over shorter trips. Hit the last start like she wants 1400m.

Randwick R8 1. Nature Strip
Looked very good in an exhibition gallop recently. Has given Eduardo a chance when fresh and on wet in the past. Last start when beaten, pulled up with slow recovery. Loss prior, started $2.1.

Randwick R9 9. Benaud
In good order this prep. Big effort finishing 6th in the Winx Stakes. Time was good and hit the line very nicely over the unsuitable trip. Last start made good ground against the bias, meets Knight Order 2.5kg better at the weights.
