7:05am - THE HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB TROPHY | 1400m | | i

The sun setting at Royal Randwick and it sets on the Autumn Carnival too, the 'Winter types' hitting the track again. This race is wide open! Waterhouse's warrior FABRIZIO the class runner of the field on 61kgs and he's the likely leader at a FAIR to STRONG tempo first-up. Eight of the 14 horses are fresh and outside of FABRIZIO, DUCA VALENTINOIS (great fresh record, doesn't want it too heavy) and MAURUS (first start for Thompson) have strong claims first-up. MOHER and GOD'S IN HIM well-placed too, but usually need a run to find their best. MARENOSTRO and KELLYVILLE FLYER did enough first-up to be each-way hopes. SORT AFTER can bounce back. BE LIKE DAD fit, well and a solid place chance. [updated 8:23am]
