Verdict

SNACK BAR (3) finished behind some handy types last prep and can score an overdue victory first-up. Impressed in two trials and can stalk the fast tempo and finish over the top of these. LYLES (1) smart sprinter resuming. Got the better of Snack Bar in a tight contest when he led throughout over 5 ½f at Rosehill last November. Zac Lloyd retains the ride and expected to continue where he left off last prep. MASSIRA (14) saves his best for the Randwick track and expect to see the blinkers switch him on for this. Beaten for speed on resumption with a poor eighth over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury. Key jockey change and will appreciate a rain affected track. AGAINST THE LAW (15) deep into the campaign and gets in light with Fitzgerald's claim. Racing well and can surprise at the big odds. AMAZING EAGLE (2) Listed winner resuming. Ticks plenty of boxes here and looks set for a good preparation.
