3:15am - BILL RITCHIE HANDICAP | 1400m | Group 3 | i

An intriguing race over 1400m for this year's Bill Ritchie, tempo and track conditions will make a big difference. MESSENE can cross from the outside and set a FAIR to STEADY tempo out in the lead, Berry will be looking to 'stack them up' if he gets the chance. The one-paced RUDY brings the best form-lines to the race and relishes Randwick, but he may need an honest tempo and wet track to find his best. SADLER'S LAKE steps up in class after a dominant first-up win, a very genuine type sure to be in the mix again. HEART TESTA is a good knock-out hope if the rain doesn't come.
