6:00am - THE STEEL BUILDERS FESTIVAL STAKES | 1500m | Group 3 | i

The feature G3 Festival Stakes on the way to the Villiers in a couple of weeks time back at Randwick. Tempo from RELIGIFY and SWEET REDEMPTION should make sure it's FAIR, it's possible Avdulla will be asked to 'go hard' on the Waterhouse horse, so a chance of a STRONG tempo too. RELIGIFY is perfectly suited to these firm Rosehill tracks and won easily last start over 1400m. The step up in distance seems OK as long as Avdulla doesn't get too excited. RED EXCITEMENT with similar form-lines and hard to knock. Other key winning chances are AMOVATIO (suited here) and RAGEESE (wants tempo on again), while there's a few others that could show up if they find their best. [updated 8:23am]
