Verdict

CEOLWULF (1) failed to come up in two runs last time in and resumed with a respectable fifth over 7f in the G1 Winx at this track. Out to his right trip in a very thin Chelmsford. Expected to go close in this line up. FANGIRL (9) another who loves the Randwick mile capable of a better performance second up. Only fair in the Winx and look for a big rebound today. LINDERMANN (2) won this race last year after a similar run in the Winx Stakes when defeating Sir Delius. Can take control early from the wide gate and prove hard to run down. GREEN SPACES (7) ATC Derby winner who warmed up late first up when eighth in the G1 Winx Stakes. Well drawn and likely to need one more run before hitting his peak. THE EUPHRATES (5) former Aidan O'Brien stayer making his Australian debut. Gelded over the break and keep safe after the three trials.
