Verdict

KING OF THE SEA (11) imported gelding who loomed strongly second-up with a slashing third over 1 5/16m at Gosford. Will appreciate the Randwick surface and big weight drop. Can race a touch closer and take holding out. STARZINTHEIREYES (7) lightly raced UK gelding who made his Australian debut with an eye catching second over 1 ?m at Hawkesbury with the 134lbs. Group 3 winner in 2024 and looks well placed with the 126lbs. Each way. PINHOLE (12) jumped in trip at his second Australian start with a respectable ninth over 1 5/16m at Gosford. Key jockey change and shapes as a top-three contender with the 120lbs. Value chance. BRAVE CALL (9) second-up and returns from a let-up. Ready for this trip and further now and loves rain affected going. Since fitted with a 6f trial placing. Goes into the exotics. TAZIMA (10) deep into the prep and not to be overlooked with Grima's 7lbs claim. Adept in all conditions and kept ticking over with a 5 ¼f trial. Stays in the mix.
