2:25am - RADISSON BLU HOTEL SYDNEY HANDICAP | 1000m | | i

GOLDFINCH to roll along in the lead here with a couple of others for company at an honest STRONG tempo, the fav' GOD OF THUNDER a pair or two back the rails and the question will be whether young Brock Ryan finds any trouble from there. GOD OF THUNDER's last start 2nd at G2 level is simply the best form in this race and his recent trial win was impressive. BALLER is gelded now and could pose a threat, both for the win and he's one of the horses that is mapped to settle outside GOD OF THUNDER trying to keep him in. SEI STELLA (good win last start) and CORUSCATE (nice trials) the other key winning chances. [updated 9:12am]
