Race Tip

XIDAKI (7) was in the money when resuming at Randwick then could only manage 17th last time out over 7½f in the Golden Eagle at this track. Rates highly and can bounce back. MIGHTY ULYSSES (2) is coming off a last-start seventh, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f at Flemington. Genuine type with six wins from 16 starts. Key runner. ST LAWRENCE (6) has two wins and five minor placings from nine races this campaign. Scored last start by a nose in the Little Dance at Randwick over 1m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KING OF THE CASTLE (14) finished 8 lengths back in ninth over 1m at Kembla Grange last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Blinkers added so worth plenty of thought.
