2:50am - MIDWAY HANDICAP | 1600m | | i

TAMPERING and BIG SURPRISE the likely leaders over a mile in the Midway and they both like to set an honest even tempo. BOWERY BREEZE brings a different (and maybe better) form-line to most and didn't have much luck last start over 1300m. The soft barrier gives her an advantage over the progressive AKIHIRO, who looks suited up in distance. Lots of others with similar form-lines. TAMPERING stuck on gamely last start over 1800m in the same grade, he was a winner prior to that over the Randwick mile defeating CANYONYERO and FOXBOROUGH in the process and maps to be in this for a long way. BIG SURPRISE was a dominant winner at Gosford last start and makes his own luck on speed, but will need to prove himself at Randwick. ABOVE AND BEYOND the best roughie swooping out wide.
