RANDWICK SATURDAY

RACE 4 (7) SIR PLUSH: Could not have been more impressive returning excellent figures when winning first-up over 1100m at Rosehill when he showed excellent race sense to take his growing record to four wins in nine starts. He is definitely on an upward spiral and this looks the right race for him to take the next step.

RACE 5 (8) ROCK FORTHE LADIES: Excellent return from a spell when he finished best late for closing third over 1200m behind Denpurr in strong form race at Randwick on October 8. Step to 1400m is ideal and the rise in class is countered by a massive 6kg drop in weight that will give him an edge over main rivals.

RACE 7 (7) HERMOSA BEACH: Canberra mare appeals as a great value chance on a tough program after finding winning from on her home track with a comprehensive win over 1400m in heavy going on October 7. She’s a winner over this course and distance at her only attempt and the forecast of rain leading into this meeting can only enhance her chances due to her excellent wet track record.
