Race 1: New Years Day at Royal Randwick Plate 1100m

Quackerjack (1^st) settled just off the speed, travelled up well, and knuckled down strongly in the last 200m to score. Secret Lady (2^nd) led, gave a good kick, just ran down late, is an honest type. Everard (3^rd) settled midfield on the rails, made steady ground in the straight, solid debut.

Race 2: TAB Handicap 1300m

Sasso Corbaro (1^st) settled on the rails in behind the speed, gap appeared in the straight and let down strongly to go clear, looks a serious filly. Kissing Game (2^nd) had a lovely run, made steady ground in the straight. Epidemic (3^rd) settled last and ran on in the straight.

Race 3: Book Summer Hospitality Today Mile 1600m

Dreamforce (1^st) led and got complete control, powered away in the straight, was never going to lose. Hunter Jack (2^nd) box seated and battled on well enough in the straight. Liapari (3^rd) settled last and made ground late, didn’t have the tempo to suit.

Race 4: TAB.com.au Handicap 1100m

Pendeloque (1^st) led, got control, and showed a good enough sprint to put them away in the straight. Junglized (2^nd) didn’t jump too well, sat outside leader on soft tempo and battled on well enough, Kennedy (3^rd) was three wide on speed and kept hitting the line late, run looked better than it was as sitting three wide wasn’t a big disadvantage with how slow they were going.

Race 5: #Theraces Handicap 1200m

Brave Song (1^st) was heavily backed, sat just off the speed, travelled up strongly, and has got the job done comfortably. Crafty Cop (2^nd) and Flow (3^rd) got some control up front and battled on strongly in the straight.

Race 6: TAB Highway Handicap 1100m

All Stand (1^st) was well backed late, sat in just behind the tearaway leader and showed a nice sprint to put the race to bed on straightening, good ride. Remittance (2^nd) and Acquittal (3^rd) both settled on the rails worse than midfield and made good late ground in the straight.

Race 7: Christmas Classic 1200m

Music Magnate (1^st) sat outside the leader, kept finding in the straight to hold them all off, tough effort first up. Dothraki (2^nd) box seated, battled on well in the straight without ever threatening the winner. Isorich (3^rd) led and kept finding in the straight. Supreme Effort (4^th) loomed up strongly but just couldn’t catch them, there was an advantage to be towards the inside, I think if it was a fairer track, he goes very close to winning.

Race 8: Hyland Boxing Day Sale Handicap 1800m

Hogmanay (1^st) was used up early to cross to the lead, got control and had enough to hold them off in the straight, good ride. Vaucluse Bay (2^nd) sat outside the leader/winner and battled on well in the straight. Xebec (3^rd) settled worse than midfield on the rails, made good ground late.

Race 9: ATC Owners Benefit Card Sprint 1200m

Sugar Bella (1^st) settled worse than midfield, peeled out in the straight and attacked the line strongly late to win well in what was the worse ground, big win. Reward for Fashion (2^nd) led at what looked a strong tempo and kept finding in the straight, was in the best ground though. Kawaikini (3^rd) settled at the rear, picked up well late.
