4:30am - POLYTRACK ROMAN CONSUL STAKES | 1200m | Group 2 | i

Some of the better 2YOs from last season come head-to-head in the G2 Roman Consul Stakes. Early speed from COSMIC FORCE taking control from out wide (STEADY to FAIR tempo). MICROPHONE beat COSMIC FORCE a couple of times last prep, but he comes into this without the first-up run and his trial was only fair (6th of 8), leaving COSMIC FORCE to be the more obvious choice, but the rain would have helped. ACCESSION (blinkers on) and STANDOUT both very honest and won't be far away. [updated 8:19am]
