3:55am - POLYTRACK ROMAN CONSUL STAKES | 1200m | Group 2 | i

Expect SWORD OF STATE to push hard for the lead this time with TRISTATE (blinkers on) pushing forward and OVERPASS closer to the pace this time. PAULELE hit the line well last start over 1100m when a fast finishing 2nd behind Home Affairs, he gets back to Randwick where he is unbeaten and the step up to 1200m looks ideal. SWORD OF STATE could be a different horse if he finds the lead though and is worth respecting. KING OF SPARTA, OVERPASS and A VERY FINE RED ran on well enough in the same race to be knock-out chances at odds.
