AU - Randwick - Race 9

EVAPORATE (2) scored convincingly three runs back over this distance at Sandown and has subsequently struggled in Group 1 races. Finds his right level today and is beautifully treated under the set weights and penalties. Big chance to return to winning ways. DECLICHY BOULEVARD (12) dominated two back in a BM88 over the mile here then found the Epsom a bridge too far a fortnight ago. Talented mare who gets weight off all her rivals which puts her right in contention. LINEBACKER (1) settled worse than midfield then closed in good style to get up for third in the Group 3 Alan Brown over 7f at Rosehill last time. A better Randwick horse and should be close to his peak now. WELCOMETOTHESHOW (7) ran the race of his life in the Toorak last start, looking the winner until the shadow of the post. Drawn to play a key role again. CRISTAL CLEAR (3) won the Group 2 Ajax over this distance when fresh from a spell last prep. Cannot be underestimated first-up from a 23-week lay-off.
