Verdict

PRIVATE EYE (1) four of his 11 wins have come over this trip and this is the easiest race he has contested for some time. Ridden a bit too close to the speed from the low gate when a plugging fifth over 1300m in the Russell Balding at Rosehill last time out. Winkers come off and no shock to see him power over the top of these. BRIASA (14) exciting prospect with the five wins from six starts. Faces his stiffest test to date after demolishing inferior opposition over 1250m at Randwick Kensington on October 30. Will sit off the good tempo and launch late. ROYAL MERCHANT (5) holding her form in fillies and mares company with the big weights and looks a leading player here with 54.5kg. Failed to pick up the speedy Belclare when fifth in the G2 The Invitation at Randwick over the 1400m last start. Respect. COAL CRUSHER (2) won this race last year and go on his gutsy second in the G3 Sydney Stakes over 1200m at Randwick two back when assessing his chances. Stays in the mix.
