The rail is out +11m on a GOOD surface at Royal Randwick and that usually gives us a FAIR track. A bit of a tailwind is forecast, which should help the backmarkers get into the race too. Starting off with the speed of WITHERSPOON, OMAR and YULONG YUHENG over 1000m, those three speedsters almost sure to set a STRONG tempo here in the opening race. If Dolan can drop SPLINTEX into the right spot he will be very tough to beat coming back from 3YO Listed grade. Godolphin brings the progressive AQUITAINE back in distance and she is the main threat.
