2:50am - ADINA APARTMENT HOTELS HANDICAP | 1600m | | i

A BM 85 over the mile with early speed coming from MAPMAKER. DARCI'S AFFAIR, GOODWOOD ZODIAC and HOGMANAY all capable of getting near the pace too (tempo: FAIR to STEADY). The progressive INTEROLCUTER was very well-backed first-up and arguably unlucky not to beat Wayanka (lost on protest) over 1400m. He'll relish the extra 200m, but HOGMANAY did beat Wayanka easily at his next start so on pure form ratings he's a narrow top pick. MAPMAKER in the mix if he can hold his form at Randwick (some risk). IMPAVIDO capable if he improves (prefers wet?) and SPRING TYCOON in the mix for a place with DARCI'S AFFAIR. [updated 8:55am]
