Randwick racing gets underway at 1:10pm and the nine-race program continues through until the last at 6:05pm.
The first of the Group status races of the afternoon is Race 2 – the Group 2 $300,000 Roman Consul Stakes field down to just five runners with Muntaseera scratched in favour of a Group 3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes run in Melbourne instead.
There is also a small field gathered for the Group 2 $250,000 Stan Fox Stakes when Race 5 takes place at 3:30pm, the withdrawal of Mamaragan leaving six three-year-olds led in betting by Peltzer ($2.80 @ Ladbrokes.com.au).
Next-up the $7.5 million The Golden Eagle-bound four-year-olds face off in the $500,000 Silver Eagle with seven still in contention after two withdrawals and markets dominated by gun Queenslander Alligator Blood ($2.05 @ Ladbrokes.com.au).
The meeting’s feature race is scheduled to run as Race 7 at 4:40pm with two – #2 Global Quest and #8 Albarado – out of the Group 1 $1 million Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) where last Saturday’s Flight Stakes winning filly Montefilia ($2.40 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) is a hard to beat favourite.
The last of the Black-Types is the Group 3 Angst Stakes with the mares facing off in the penultimate race.
