2:55am - SCHWEPPES SKYLINE STAKES | 1200m | Group 2 | i

A fascinating race for the 2YO colts. Early speed from FIERY RED, MICROPHONE and perhaps COSMIC FORCE up around the speed (tempo: FAIR). MICROPHONE hasn't done much wrong in his Melbourne starts, running 2nd to a very sharp 1000m horse before a dominant win over 1100m. He's got early speed, plenty of power and may just need a cheap section mid-race to kick home best up the Randwick rise. If he finds the stretch in distance too much, ACCESSION, COSMIC FORCE and CASTELVECCHIO will all be joining on, CASTELVECCHIO the one most in need of some tempo up-front storming from the back late. SUN PATCH good on debut and can figure if that form-line measures up, he ran on with the other two swoopers in a strongly-run race. [updated 7:59am]
