Country Championships winner Know Thyself was a $4.60 favourite for the $500,000 The Coast at Gosford on Saturday after 24 nominations were received for the 1600m feature for three and four-year-olds on Monday.
The Paul Messara and Leah Gavranich-trained Know Thyself will shoot for four consecutive wins in the headline race on Gosford’s annual standalone program. Chris Waller’s Wootton Verni was next in the early Sportsbet market at $6.
Hezashocka, from the Mick Price and Michael Kent jnr stable, was equal TAB favourite at $4.50 for the $300,000 Gosford Gold Cup (2100m) with New Endeavour (Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott).
Annabel and Rob Archibald-prepared Ostraka was top elect for the listed Takeover Target at $4.60 with Sportsbet. Joe Pride’s Accredited and Paul Snowden-trained Need Some Luck were next best at $6.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained import Sir Delius was among the impressive trialists at Randwick on Monday.
The four-year-old Frankel entire, having his third trial in Australia, was pushed to the line by Tim Clark to score a three-quarter length win in a 1200m hit-out after racing just off the leader.
The horse, known then as Delius, was bought for a record 1.3 million guineas ($2.7 million) at the Tattersalls Autumn-Horses in Training Sale last October.
His six starts, all in France, produced three wins, including one at group 3 level, and placings in group 1 and 2 races. His most recent run was eighth in the famous Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on October 6.
Coolmore’s $1.75 million colt United States and Doomben 10,000 favourite and future Rosemont Stud stallion Schwarz were other sharp winners on Monday.
Randwick trainer John O\\u2019Shea will be keeping a close eye on the weather and track condition at Kembla Grange for Tuesday\\u2019s meeting as he plots the return to racing of a couple of talented stable runners.
O\\u2019Shea, who trains in partnership with Tom Charlton, is hoping for the Kembla track to dry out a little from heavy to soft to boost his chances of snaring a potential winning double.
O\\u2019Shea has Livin\\u2019 Thing and Lady Zodiac set to contest the Racing Mates Provincial Benchmark 64 Handicap (1000m), while the promising Straand Beauty is down to run in the JJJ Racing Punters Precinct 31st May Bennchmark 64 Handicap (1200m).
\\u201CStraand Beauty is a handy Exceed And Excel gelding that is having his first run for us and is first up from a spell,\\u201D O\\u2019Shea said. \\u201CBut he has already shown his fair share of talent. He\\u2019s been placed in city company three times and has won a Wyong maiden.
\\u201CHe\\u2019s had a couple of barrier trials in preparation for his return, and he\\u2019s looked good in both of them. We are just looking for a reasonable surface for him to kick off again in. He\\u2019s ready to gothough.\\u201D
Braith Nock takes the ride on Straand Beauty, and O\\u2019Shea is impressed with the apprentice.
\\u201CHe\\u2019s ridden plenty of winners, and we\\u2019ve had a bit of luck with him and, importantly, he can still claim at the provincials, so that comes in handy,\\u201D O\\u2019Shea said.
Apprentice Anna Roper is booked to ride Livin\\u2019 Thing, while Tyler Schiller is down to ride Lady Zodiac.
\\u201CDepending on how the track is, there is the option to split them up and take one to Kembla Grange on Saturday instead,\\u201D O\\u2019Shea said. \\u201CThey are both going well. Lady Zodiac has had the few runs back from a spell and raced well in each of them, including her last-start second at Kembla.
\\u201CAnd Livin\\u2019 Thing is first up after two trials. He won easily at his debut and then ran sixth in town before a third at Newcastle. He\\u2019s having his first start for us, but also looks a promising horse.\\u201D

won in the game's final play when previously retired winger Christian Yassmin latched onto a cross-field kick from Colts playmaker Felix Turinui
It came after the game was tied at 31-all, with Japan opting for a shot at goal to try and win it.
The kick faded to the right and gave Randwick a chance to strike two metres out from the line after another Japanese mistake.
Turinui and Yassmin combined off their goal-line to spark the home crowd into life before the sides traded turnovers, looking for the winner.
It took until the 84th minute before the 'Lebanese Lamborghini' raced clear for the winner, taking the kick from the young playmaker and racing away for the try.
Randwick started fast for a 19-7 lead at half-time as their scrum were dominant early.
Oscar Jorgensen, cousin of Wallabies star Max, set up the opener with a powerful burst as scrumhalf Tim Sippel scored.
Two further tries gave them the 12-point lead before Japan hit back as the Randwick side made mass changes.
Japan hit the front shortly afterwards, but Randwick found the answer right from the kick-off through second-row Angus Houston, his second for the game.
It set up a tense final 15 minutes as both sides looked for a winner in the exhibition.
In the end, Randwick's brand of attacking Rugby took down Jones' team, with the former Randwick hooker left with a wry smile on his face after the contest.
The defeat comes after the Japanese side were beaten 54-27 by the Australia U20s team in Coffs Harbour.

“This is our first time here since it reopened,” the couple says to me, as we all congregate anxiously around the doors of the newest incarnation of Corner 75
Corner 75 is a Randwick icon and a place of communion for Sydney’s Hungarian diaspora
travel spots and more – curated by those who know
but as someone who grew up 500 metres from Corner 75
it’s literally the only restaurant I’ve been going to consistently for my entire life
which can only be described as the answer to the question
“What if a doily was a whole restaurant?” I loved its sound; you’ve never heard a more laughter-filled dining room
So I was really bummed when long-time owner Paul Varga handed over the keys
I used to call Corner 75 some nights to book in and Varga would bluntly tell me
he’d stay on the phone and launch into a five-minute monologue about why they were so busy – I’d get a stream-of-consciousness play-by-play of what exactly was happening
he’d thank me for the chat and tell me he’d get a table sorted
I didn’t want to lose that version of Corner 75
The ramshackle Randwick I grew up in is unrecognisable these days
Corner 75 was one of the last spots in the area that still felt like it belonged to me
so our little contingent of sceptical Corner 75 fans is relieved when new co-owner Alex Kelly (who also co-owns Baba’s Place) lets us shuffle off the street into the dining room
The maroon walls are still an agglomeration of commemorative plates
and shrines to notable Hungarians like legendary footballer Ferenc Puskás and Erno Rubik (of cube fame)
It’s the final service of the first full week since Corner 75 reopened and from my perch at the new bar counter I watch as Kelly and general manager Alice Tremayne go over small things with staff – like the finer details of the Hungarian-leaning wine list
or the break-in period for the pastel yellow uniforms
A waiter walks up to Kelly with a serious look on her face. “A Hungarian woman has just walked in,” she says solemnly. Red alert. The new Corner 75 bills itself as a preservation project
and its Hungarian Australian regulars are the highest priority
then says “Can you ask her if she’d be interested in the special?”
The special today is hortobágyi palacsinta – a classic Hungarian dish
“She was really excited about the special.” The whole crew relaxes
The menu is more concise than the old Corner 75
but there are enough familiar items to satisfy the OGs
The sauerkraut-stuffed bullhorn peppers are great
But I’m here for the three things I always ate here: langós
they were garlicky enough to give you a solid month of vampire protection
Now they arrive with a side serving of sour cream and chopped chives
They’re different to before but scratch the same itch
the new goulash is a more traditional gulyásleves soup
It sings of paprika and the A9 Wagyu neck in it is creamy and beautiful
Corner 75 has long had one of Sydney’s great schnitzels
During Covid I would always get takeaway from Corner 75 and think
but at least I can still have this schnitzel”
The new version is more magnificent than ever: a beautiful ripple of craggy curves that’s simultaneously light and fluffy
I see that it’s filled up with young families and old Hungarian couples
the staff boxed up everything I couldn’t finish for leftovers
I head home with a stomach full of schnitzel and a heart full of relief

English star Dubai Honour was a game second
The victory was redemption for Via Sistina

Waller said he would have to ask the “big boss” about that
Yulong indicated after last year’s Cox Plate that the plan was for a title defence in the weight-for-age championship in the spring at Moonee Valley
“She felt like she was going to rip away and then at the furlong
I thought the one I was following was going to kick for a gap and he just didn’t go for it and I ended up back off him
It was deja vu for McDonald and Waller in the last group 1 of the day
when Fangirl came from well back with an inside run to win as an odds-on favourite
It was a fourth group 1 for the six-year-old mare
which Waller said would race on in the spring with a title defence in the King Charles III Stakes in his sights

“They really went all together as a group off the turn and she was under a bit of siege
I feel like I’m going to burst into tears.”
“I’m going to be guided a lot by what [jockey] Damian [Lane] thinks
anything from a mile to 2000 with the pace on
and whether we stretch her out to this again
Laurie said he knew Treasurethe Moment was a special horse when she started her winning streak at Sandown on September 28
I think we’ve got a nice filly here,” Laurie said
Lane was fined $10,000 and suspended for two weeks for excessive whip use in the Oaks
Blake Shinn was suspended five meetings and Tommy Berry six for causing interference in the South Pacific Classic and Sydney Cup respectively

Umami House is a new burger place in Randwick with a very unique type of beef burger patty
The patty has an umami mushroom infusion that was designed to make the beef more flavoursome and moist
Find out more about what this is like and what else there is on the menu
The last time I went to this location on Perouse Rd in Randwick, it was Soul Burger, a vegan burger restaurant
There are still subtle signs of Soul Burger with a sticker showing that the vegan burger range is available online
Umami House also has the same owner Amit Tewari
There's a range of beef burgers alongside a vegetarian and vegan burger as well as sides and shakes
Amit found that having a vegan only offering restricted his clientele
Before Umami House launched he did a lot of testing to create something different
"To create an insatiable burger it’s tempting to add more fat
but I feel that detracts from it’s ability to be eaten frequently
Enhancing umami is an amazing way to pack in flavour without excessive fats or salt
Beef has natural umami properties and so we worked really hard on enhancing that natural umami flavour – we decided infusing shiitake & umami seasoning into the patty created the best umami beef patty," explains Amit
This "fifth taste" was first identified by Japanese scientist Kikunae Ikeda in 1908
It is described as a savoury or meaty flavour and is found in foods rich in glutamates and nucleotides e.g
He tested out variations using Wagyu and Angus beef and landed on the burger patty of today which is Angus beef infused with shiitake and umami salt
There's a craft beer on tap available for $5 a schooner but we try one of their shakes
The shakes are made with coconut ice cream so they are lactose free
I love strawberry so we try one of those and it's rich
creamy and strongly flavoured with strawberry sauce
I start with their most popular burger the Umami Classic with their signature umami beef patty
umami mayo with slices of fresh tomato and baby cos lettuce
The patty has more flavour to it thanks to the shiitake infusion and it's also juicier than other burger patties as well
You can taste the mushroom flavour right at the end of the bite too
And the umami mayo is a mix of naturally umami-rich foods like tomatoes
My favourite burger however is the Umami Bacon with the same signature umami beef patty
umami mayo with slices of fresh tomato and baby cos lettuce but with crispy free range bacon added to it as well as tomato and bbq sauce
If I can offer a little tip it's to add one of the onion rings to it
The onion rings add an appealing crunch to each bite and this is luscious and saucy (don't wear white!)
My other favourite burger apart from the Umami Bacon is the Smashed Cheese because I love pickles to the point of distraction
If you are also that person then you may like this one too
The Smashed Cheese burger has two thinly smashed umami beef patties
The patties are still quite thick and this is an enormous burger
If you're looking for something a bit more unusual the truffle shuffle is a really good
The truffle flavour comes from the aromatic truffle mayonnaise
If you are going for a vegetarian burger I recommend the Shroom-mami with crumbed mushrooms that are stuffed with two cheeses
This burger has a nice crunch to it from the crispy crunchy mushrooms and it doesn't taste like you're missing out on anything with that delicious blend of cheeses
Mr NQN and I never agree on any food and his favourite burger was the one that would probably order last
He loves the house made plant based soy protein patty with a choice of vegan or American cheese
it's just that the patty tastes like a plant based patty and that is a little distracting in each bite especially after all of those juicy beef patties
The parmesan and truffle fries come in a generous sized serve that looks designed for two people
The French fries are topped with grated Parmesan cheese
black truffle oil and sea salt with thick lashings of truffle mayonnaise
The fried cauliflower bites are wonderfully crunchy with a light batter and a smokey chipotle seasoning
I really like how crunchy these and the onion rings below are
I love it when deep fried food has a tangy salt seasoning like vinegar salt or lime salt
These onion rings are super crisp onion rings and are seasoned with a delicious lime chilli salt that makes them so moreish
I liked the onion rings the best especially when wedged into the burgers for extra crunch
what do you think of this beef patty concept
NQN and friends were guests of Umami House but all opinions remain her own
Open 7 days 11:30-9pm (10pm Fridays and Saturdays)
As part of a program of improved healthcare facilities for patients
families and staff across the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network
the Randwick redevelopment program will deliver new and expanded health services for our state’s children
Email: SCHN-Redev@health.nsw.gov.au
The $658 million Sydney Children’s Hosptial Stage 1 and Minderoo Children’s Comprehensive Cancer Centre redevelopment is underway, paving the way for Randwick to be home to a state-of-the-art paediatric health, medical research and education hub.
The new hospital and research centre will be in the Randwick Health and Innovation Precinct, offering new and expanded paediatric services, including a greatly expanded emergency department, a new medical short-stay unit, and a neurosciences centre.
The Minderoo Children's Comprehensive Cancer Centre will be the first facility of its type in the country - revolutionising childhood cancer research and treatment in Australia.
Family-centred treatment and support are at the heart of the hospital's design, with additional private spaces, recreation and food preparation areas included, and the introduction of single patient bedrooms across the service.
The project is expected to be completed in late 2025 and is being delivered with the support of builder John Holland Group, in partnership with Health Infrastructure, Children's Cancer Institute and UNSW.
Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network acknowledges that our facilities are built on the lands of the Bidjigal, Cammeraygal, Burramattagal, Cabrogal, Wangal, and Woddi Woddi. Our services extend across the lands now known as New South Wales.
Aboriginal people believe these lands hold the ancestral spirits of those who have come and gone before them.
We acknowledge this is, was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
She Rex is a lightly raced improver well placed to break through second up

Randwick Boys and Girls high schools have removed the fence that separates them
It was symbolic and practical in equal measure – the removal of the fence that has long separated Randwick Boys and Randwick Girls high schools
One thousand boys and girls sat together and cheered
as the newly elected student leadership of the combined co-educational Randwick High School removed two large sections of the metal fence
Then there was no stopping the students from racing from one side to the other for the first time in the schools’ histories
School captain Kai Todd spoke at the ceremony
“When I first heard the fence was coming down
my mind turned to Donald Trump but in reverse,” he told the crowd
“Instead of saying ‘we’re going to build a wall’
we’re saying ‘we’re going to take it down!’
it’s a bit like the Berlin Wall coming down but with less Cold War drama
Just awkward year 10 boys wondering how to talk to girls.”
said the day marked the start of a future full of possibility
countless opportunities open up – new friendships
The first principal of the combined Randwick High School is Belinda Conway
who has been working tirelessly to make next year’s transition as smooth as possible
“Throughout this year we have found ways to come together to express our similarities
work through our points of difference and to join to achieve this common goal,” Ms Conway said
we begin the process of moving towards a common future
that unites us in providing our community the best of both worlds.”
And the community has responded enthusiastically - year 7 enrolments at the combined school next year are up nearly 40% compared with the year 7 numbers across both single-sex schools this year
Ursela O’Sullivan said it was a big change for many
but one the student body was really embracing
“With any sort of change there’s going to be some adjustment required
and we have such strong support from our teachers to make this transition really easy,” she said
“I think people are just excited now and there’s a lot in place to make next year really fun.”

A site-specific permanent artwork by multidisciplinary artist Dr Rochelle Haley from the School of Art & Design at UNSW Arts
Design & Architecture has been unveiled within the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct
The major light installation aims to transform the laneways of the Randwick Health Campus and improve night-time connectivity and comfort in the precinct
It is the second major art project in a new Laneway Art Program commissioned by Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct and supported by Transport for NSW’s Safer Cities program
The Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct is a 24-hour precinct home to four hospitals and a major university
Women comprise around 80 per cent of the hospital’s workforce – many working night shifts and moving through the campus streets after dark
The artwork was developed in consultation with health workers to better understand how they use the area and what would improve their experience across the site
Considering this feedback and the surrounding environment
the work has been created to improve connections for people walking across the neighbouring campuses
“Spaces we use to transition into and out of work modes are a chance to reset our focus
a moment to take a breath to ground ourselves
and remind us of our vital and unique connection to the universe and each other,” Dr Haley said
“I hope that Lunar Sway encourages workers
and the community to look up and reflect on the constant gentle glow and to bathe in the changing colour light patterns as they walk.”
Lunar Sway features glowing elliptical orbs and gently changing light beams suspended from custom poles in two key precinct streets
Inspired by lunar cycles and the colours of the sunrise and sunset
the work illuminates a corridor through the campus to connect people when walking to public transport
and feeling of safety for health workers at night while acting as a beacon for the broader community
It aims to reimagine humans’ connection to the night sky and each other despite different viewpoints and experiences
The work is now set to transform the precinct’s laneways
providing an ongoing and evolving connection to the nightlife of the surrounding area
A five-minute walk from the final stop on the L2 Randwick light rail line
Lunar Sway illuminates Nurses Drive off Avoca Street and nearby Francis Martin Drive
Visitors can stroll to enjoy the artwork and local area attractions such as the Newmarket dining precinct on Barker Street and Randwick Ritz Cinema and cafés on St Paul’s Street
This initiative is funded by Transport for NSW’s Safer Cities program
which is investing $30 million over two years to improve perceptions of safety in our cities and towns

Randwick.Wolter PeetersPrevious SlideNext SlideWhen two of Sydney’s hottest restaurant teams recently announced they would embark together on a central European food odyssey
Good Food revealed in November that Marrickville’s newly hatted Baba’s Place had partnered with chef Dan Puskas
to work on a then-confidential project that tapped into the latter’s Hungarian heritage
chef Carley Scheidegger and co-owners Alex Kelly and Dan Puskas.Wolter PeetersNow the two venues have unveiled the sympathetic revamp they’ve given the food and decor at Randwick’s four-decade-old Corner 75 Hungarian restaurant
The March 6 launch is one of the most anticipated openings of the year
The flouncy lace half-curtains that drape the time-capsule dining room remain on the Corner 75 shopfront
Framed photos of famous Hungarians are back
and some fittings and decorative details reinstated as they were when Bob Hawke was in office
Baba’s Place co-owner Alex Kelly can’t accurately pinpoint how long the Hungarian restaurant has resided at 75 Frenchmans Road
A French restaurant opened at the site in 1974
and Kelly said it took its Hungarian turn at an unknown date during the 1980s
Corner 75’s first Herald review appeared in 1987
Roast Sommerlad chicken with paprikash sauce.Wolter PeetersDuring the renovation
“It’s made me realise it’s a lot more work to preserve something than create something new,” Kelly said
Corner 75’s new owners have shown the sort of meticulous care you’d expect from an episode of Restoration Australia
Kelly said they documented where every framed artefact sat on the wall prior to renovation
“They’re culturally load-bearing,” Kelly jokes about returning each item to the correct spot
The chandelier still dangles above the dining room
and they’ve restored the sign on the street
“Corner 75 is a Fun Place with Great Food,” is etched above the entrance
we discovered another carpet from the 1980s under it
We’ve gone for something between the two shades,” Kelly said
Randwick.Wolter PeetersOutgoing owner Paul Varga upheld Corner 75’s traditions and Hungarian menu after taking the reins in 2012
Chef Dan Puskas has the advantage of Hungarian heritage (Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskas’ jersey graces the restaurant’s walls
and knows the cuisine is viewed as more traditional than cutting edge
“We hope to change the way people look at Hungarian food,” Puskas said. As owner-chef at the innovative Sixpenny, which is perched at the three-hat summit of Sydney restaurants
you might expect Puskas to oversee a complete overhaul of the Corner 75 menu
they’ve kept more than 80 per cent of the old menu
but it has been upgraded with heritage-breed chicken
You can still grab an order of nokedli dumplings
they even serve it with house-made sour cream
LP’s pork and paprika sausage with condiments.Wolter PeetersPuskas worked painstakingly through the menu with Corner 75 head chef Carley Scheidegger
and Baba’s Place executive chef Jean-Paul El Tom
They settled on pork and chicken schnitzels after plans to add a Viennese version were put on hold due to the high cost of veal
and you can order a mini-sized of the chicken soup with semolina dumplings for $8
“For me it’s all about the different sides – fermented red cabbage and creamed spinach,” Puskas said. Scheidegger’s background and skill with pastry at Fred’s will shine when the dessert trolley starts rolling
The fields of sunflowers El Tom spotted on a research trip to Hungary also inspired the team
“We have a sunflower seed dip,” Puskas said
and there is sunflower seed milk in one of the cocktails.”

Jackie O Henderson bought a Clovelly property for $13.25m in March 2023
A Sydney council has confirmed it received complaints over Jackie O Henderson’s $5m home rebuild — but not over what you might think
Recent media reports revealed neighbours were up in arms in the tiny Clovelly cul-de-sac where the KIIS star is demolishing the existing home to make way for a luxury mansion with a pool
big trucks and the inclusion of a site office
One neighbour, Lynn, told news.com.au that tradesmen were obstructing access to her driveway
“I don’t want to have to go to them every time I want to get out of my driveway,” she said
Questions are now being raised about whether the issues are real or just a bunch of NIMBY neighbours making noise for no reason

An artist’s impression of Jackie O’s new dream home
A Randwick Council spokesperson confirmed there had been just two complaints received during the demolition process and neither had anything to do with noise
traffic or trucks — both related to concerns about environmental impacts
“Council has received two complaints relating to sedimentation run-off,” the spokesperson said
council officers attended the property and requested the builder implement additional sediment mitigation measures to reduce potential run-off to the ocean.”
The council confirmed the builders complied with the request to its satisfaction
Neighbours say they never approached Randwick Council officially because it was “pointless”
“I’ve never had success trying to get any concerns through to them
Randwick Council has received two complaints about run-off into the ocean from the demolition site
But the council spokesperson said if residents were negatively affected by the demolition and construction they should advise the council through official channels
“Council officers regularly inspect building sites to enforce conditions of consent to ensure development occurs in accordance with relevant approvals
standards and regulations,” the spokesperson said
“We encourage community members to report any suspected breaches to council for investigation.”
Complaints from neighbours speaking to news.com.au last week descended into personal attacks on Henderson rather than focusing on issues with the property
I can’t imagine what kind of person she is with all of her potty humour,” Lyn said of Henderson
Locals in Henderson’s street apparently fear the situation is set to get worse
with a tradie working on the site saying construction won’t be complete until June 2026 after commencing in December last year
The council DA confirms a complete “demolition of existing structures and construction of a 3-storey dwelling house with a double garage
ancillary and landscaping works” is proposed
Construction is set to continue until June next year
Jackie O sold a home in Woollahra before buying the Clovelly home overlooking Gordons Bay for $13.25m in March 2023
The plans for the four-bedroom home were designed by architect Madeleine Blanchfield and Henderson reckons it will be “like you are in Italy on the Amalfi Coast” when complete
Her landscaping by Dangar Barin Smith will be a mix of native and Mediterranean species
prostrate rosemary and prickly rasp fern with a ‘‘root barrier’’ to protect nearby structures and services
Alexander Phillips of the Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agency
believes the radio star could fetch upwards of $25 million if she moved to sell after construction was completed

Michelangelo looks to have the best grounding for the mile tackling it fourth up
coming through the Baillieu when sixth to Nepotism
He has just taken time to get himself organised in all three of his runs so far
Nepotism catapulted himself into favouritism for the Champagne Stakes
it was Plan B after the nominations were so light
but she has been beating up the older horses
She ran good time when winning out to 1400m last start
holding out Rose Aye who before that gave Istolea Merc a scare at Nowra
There has been money for her at big odds in early betting
Polish Playgirl was unlucky at Flemington last start
She improved sharply off her Magic Night debut
Via Sistina is the odd-on favourite for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.Credit: Getty Images
Canara looks well set up tackling 1400m third up
She is up in grade but is no stranger to black-type company
The daughter of I Am Invincible ran as well as she could first up over 1100m
rattling home into second behind Written In Code
Then she went straight out to 1400m and although suited by a high-pressure race she was forced to come from last to fight out the finish with Mogul Monarch
She was beaten a nostril in a photo finish
Respect that she jumped a $5 chance in the Carbine Club over the spring before annihilating her rivals in maiden company at Moonee Valley
Sargeant Major was beaten nearly five lengths by Autumn Glow in the Darby Munro but it was a fast race and the winner looks a star in the rise
Nostringsattached is six weeks between runs but has won a jump out since
Matcha Latte hasn’t seen much of the racetrack in the past few years
having spent 77 weeks on the sidelines recently
The five-year-old had just one run last campaign
tackling the group 3 Cameron Handicap at Newcastle where he ran Here To Shock to half a length
He returned at Newcastle where he was run down late by 2
Matcha Latte took good benefit from that outing
heading back to Newcastle three weeks later
Money Team has won four from four since being transferred to Brad Widdup
The dominance of his last two wins makes him a player here
He ran straight past subsequent winner Mogul Monarch at Gosford to book his spot
Will need a Craig Williams special from the gate
Kris Lees has owned this race since its inception
He books James McDonald for Lord Of Biscay
Savvy Hallie has been overlooked in early betting
The Brad Widdup-trained filly started $8 in the Reisling against 2
Savvy Hallie has run in the Baillieu since then
who is favourite for the Champagne Stakes off that win
Not sure what she has done wrong to now be considered a $26 outsider
she ran the subsequent Black Opal winner King Of Pop to a narrow margin at Warwick Farm
Should settle in the first couple from the inside gate
Inkaruna has been freshened since running well in the Reisling
That was only her second career start jumping 1000m to a truly run 1200m contest
Tempted maps to settle last and has been around the block a few times this autumn but she must keep bouncing back for James Cummings to press on
Enriched was runner-up to Autumn Glow last start and although it’s hard to make a case for him to turn the tables
he looks well set up to run another placing
This race isn’t an afterthought like it is for many others here
Public Attention got himself into a perfect spot from the wide draw in The Kiwi last start but perhaps was found out at 1500m
The best performance of his campaign was over this track and trip in the Eskimo Prince
Ran well back to 1200m in the VRC Classic in the spring off a freshen so there is a precedent there
Treasurethe Moment has won an imposing seven straight races
That goes back to the Wakeful and VRC Oaks in the spring
She has returned even better in the autumn
She was dominant over 1400m and the mile before justifying the $1.40 quote in the Vinery
The Matt Laurie-trained filly didn’t look as comfortable on wet ground last start
dulling her turn of foot yet her class saw her still hold a decisive margin
It would have been a fascinating clash had Aeliana turned up here but that’s all hypotheticals now
Treasurethe Moment should be too good for the rivals that line up against her
Belle Detelle brings some ‘X-factor’ backing up from the Adrian Knox where she relished 2000m
Her last 200m was the second quickest of the entire meeting
She is a close relation to Verry Elleegant
Verona Rose was working home strongly in the Vinery suggesting 2400m suits now
That was the first time she had tasted defeat having won the Kembla Grange Classic the start prior
Leica Lucy won the NZ Oaks seventh up in her first campaign
Circle Of Fire is back to defend his Sydney Cup title
but the dominance of that two-mile win a year ago shouldn’t be underestimated
He wasn’t going as well in the spring yet managed to run sixth in a Melbourne Cup with 54.5kg
This has been his autumn grand final and Ciaron Maher has the five-year-old where he needs him
Chris Waller has won the Sydney Cup five times
with four of those winners coming through the Chairmans
The champion trainer has seven runners but 18
He looks to be ticking over perfectly clocking the fastest closing splits in the Chairmans behind Alalcance
Has a 5.5 length margin to turnaround but gives the impression he’ll relish two miles
Alalcance gapped her rivals in the Manion and the Chairmans and drops to 52kg
The way she busts up a field at the top of the straight will ensure she needs to run a strong two miles
That’s the only knock in the context of her price
Via Sistina has won at an odds-on quote in her last three wins
Her main dangers face the task of giving her a head start and chasing her down
It was fourth up over the spring that she produced the eight-length Cox Plate win
While she’s unlikely to repeat anything like that ever again
Chris Waller looks to have the seven-year-old exactly where he wants her
She only won the Turnbull by a narrow margin before that Cox Plate win
winning the Ranvet by 1.5 lengths at $1.22
Via Sistina looks to have the locals covered
The globetrotting gelding has won three from three in Australia for William Haggas and jockey Tom Marquand
adding a Tancred to his Queen Elizabeth and Ranvet
It’s not an ideal set-up back from 2400m on a soft track to 2000m on a good track on an 11-day turnaround
but his six starts since then have been at the top level
Fangirl hasn’t raced against her own sex since contesting this race as a three-year-old back in 2022
The Chris Waller-trained mare won the Apollo Stakes first up at Randwick before stablemate Via Sistina turned the tables in the Verry Elleegant
The barrier and track pattern were against in the George Ryder where she produced on the of runs of the day to be beaten in a photo finish by Gringotts
Fangirl loves Randwick (20:7-4-3) and loves dry tracks
James McDonald has ridden Fangirl a dozen times boasting a record of 12:6-2-2
Atishu should have won this race last year having been held up behind Zougotcha
The challenge is having to overcome a more talented stablemate in Fangirl
That performance was on the back of a third in the Australian Cup
Her Empire Rose win in the spring was coming back from 2000m too
It’s been a good formula for her in the past to produce her best
Stefi Magnetica bounced back to her best form winning the Doncaster
She backed up over the spring in the Cantala when fourth up and was excellent behind Mr Brightside
5.Commemorative returns to the Randwick 1200m
She produced a career best when winning over this track and trip two starts ago
mowing down her rivals to win the Wenona Girl
That saw James Cummings run her in the group 1 Galaxy with 51kg on her back
She was truck loaded in betting to start $3.70 and had she got the splits when she needed them
Commemorative drops back to fillies and mares company
Only has to hold her form to be in the finish again
Olentia should be able to cope with a drop back to 1200m after a four-week freshen up
She had her chance in the Coolmore last start but it was a fast race won by Lady Shenandoah
Four of her seven wins have come over the sprint trip
Infancy was unlucky on occasions last campaign before her form tapered off
Three trials suggests that she is ready first up
