Royal Randwick has the rail out +4m now with some possible headwind again in the straight and rain forecast on the day. Track conditions and bias hard to predict, it was a touch NEAR RAILS last week when hard to make long runs out wide into the wind. TOTAL BABE sets a high mark in the opening 2YO race ad looking at the trials for the rest (* for best trials); JUMBO GOAL* (back, good through line 5th), O'PRESIDENT* (back, ran on close 4th), TIGER OF MALAY (on-pace, urged for 2nd), BAHAHAA (near pace tired for 6th, then led urged 3rd to CERDA), CAMINO REAL* (mid, ran on well 3rd and 5th), CERDA (near pace, narrow win 1st), JESSICA RABBIT (near pace, urged for 3rd to MURA MURA), MURA MURA** (led, good 1st, fast time), SOCIALIST (near pace 4th, then led 1st at Gosford), TANZIMAT* (on-pace 2nd, then back quiet in 7th), TRIFACCIA (on-pace, nice win, plain time).
