An incredible victory at Randwick has put Clear Thinking in the frame for The Kosciuszko.

Danielle Seib - a TAB Highway specialist - is value as adverse circumstances suggest three favoured placegetters from a recent Newcastle episode, Tanglewood ($3.90 favourite on TAB), Ramones ($10) and Zanardee’s Lane ($14) are little hope of staging an action replay at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Country filly Martini Mumma has taken another step up at Rosehill with a convincing win in a Highway Handicap.

It’s closing on three years since Two Big Fari’s last win and that’s not lost on trainer Todd Howlett who sees Sunday’s $40,000 Three Rivers Machinery Case IH Narromine Cup (1600m) as something of a crossroad.

There’s a touch of excitement in trainer Todd Howlett's voice when he talks about promising three-year-old Tanglewood but he’s trying to keep things in check as he attempts back-to-back wins this preparation at Grafton on Sunday.
