4:00am - BOXING DAY AT ROYAL RANDWICK HANDICAP | 1500m | | i

CHALK likely to contro the lead at a FAIR to STEADY tempo, you could expect Adkins to get rolling from the turn though on a horse that can stick on. He brings a similar form rating to the last start winner REDOUBLE, who was stuck wide when winning last start, but there wasn't much pressure in that race. COSMIC ENGINE also brings that same benchmark form. On times and ratings it looks like SEDANZER may have them covered by a length or two after chasing down the promising Slow Burn last start (big gap to 3rd!). KING DARCI and SIREN'S FURY will be hoping the rain comes. CELLARMAN can place. [updated 9:09am]
