The big names return
The rain returns this weekend with runners likely to race on a Heavy surface.
The mud larks will be out in force, including Everest contender Eduardo.
The now 9YO will be keen to kick off his preparation with a strong win.
The rail is out 7m for the entire circuit.

Randwick Race 1 #8 Opal Ridge $2.60
Opal Ridge drops back to highway grade for this contest at Randwick.
She has been racing again some of the top 3YO prospects her past couple of starts and brings strong form-lines to a highway race.
She was very unlucky two starts back on a heavy track, beaten 1.5 lengths by Troach who was then competitive in the Rosebud.
Last start she had to sit deep the entire trip and still battled on well.
She is staying at 1200m here which suits and looks to get a lovely run-in transit from barrier 7 with James McDonald in the saddle.
If she can bring her past form she will be hard to beat in highway grade.

Randwick Race 6 #4 Seven Veils $26.00
Angling for value with a proven performer in wet conditions.
In his 2YO campaign, he was able to challenge some top-tier performers before spelling. This included a 0.4 length second to Conqueror, with that runner being a $3.50 fav in the G2 San Domenico last week.
Seven Veils trialled like a star before his first up run, where he was luckless.
He was caught wide after jumping moderately and was forced to travel three deep the entire trip.
With such a tough run in transit and not at full fitness, Seven Veil could have easily tailed off to be last.
However, he fought on well and was strong through the line on the worst part of the track.
He will take great improvement off that run and draws a lot softer in barrier 6.
Second up look for Tom Sherry to get him more forward in the run, to sit just off the leading pair.
With the rail out 7m, it will be hard to make long swooping runs from the rear of the field and this plays right into his hands.
If he can peel off the leader's backs and find the A-ground, he will go almighty close at a huge price.
A great 1x3 play in the middle of the card.

Randwick Race 5 #1 Eduardo $2.30
Classy galloper who continues to roll up his sleeves and fire every prep.
His first up record reads 7:3-0-3 which is only surpassed by his wet track record of 12:8-1-2 with his only blemish coming over 1300m.
He's a multiple Group 1 winner who is dominant over this course and trip.
Besides Masked Crusader who doesn't look suited at this set-up, the rest of the field looks Group 3 and Listed grade quality.
Granted he must come back as a 9YO and do it all again, but all reports are that he's going as good as ever.
He's drawn perfectly in barrier 4, Malkovich draw 3 will lead, with Nash Rawiller likely to settle just off him and poised to strike.
Put simply, if he delivers what he has at this set up before, he wins well.
