DUCK EGG BLUE (7) tackled city class latest when fifth in the LR South Pacific Classic at Randwick, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner. Will find this easier than last start. Well placed so expecting a strong run. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (9) was below her best last time, finishing eighth and beaten 4 lengths over 1200m at Randwick. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. THE GREAT HOUDINI (1) was a dominant winner last time over 1250m at Randwick Kensington, drifting well back but unleashing late to run away with a 2.75 lengths win. Watch for him running on late again. MONTE KATE (3) finished 4.5 lengths adrift in ninth last time over 1200m at Randwick in a disappointing performance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
