Our feature for the day, the G2 Villiers Stakes over the Randwick mile. Tempo from CABEZA DE VACA, DARK EYES along with perhaps TESTASHADOW, RED EXCITEMENT (listen for tactics) and HOPFGARTEN should make sure it's a FAIR temp, on the steady side if anything. INTERLOCUTER is a good horse that finally has a good horse's handicap rating, the mark of 99 which he runs off here a full 3.5kg higher than last start. That brings him back to a field that is already very even. TESTASHADOW and MISTER SEA WOLF were good over 1500m last start, but both liked the soft conditions, RED EXCITEMENT running on impressed and MIGHTY LUCKY not far off. Queenslanders CRACK ME UP (tough, hits the line) and HOPFGARTEN in the mix. EMBLEY has the weight and barrier to sneak into the finish too. [updated Saturday 9am]
