Royal Randwick plays host to a nine-race card on Saturday, as the Moet and Chandon Imperial Winter Dash headlines the action.
The track is rated a Heavy 8, with the rail out 6m for the entire circuit.
With 5-10mm of rain predicted to fall on Friday and Saturday in Sydney, there is little chance of a track upgrade.
Randwick Race 1 Tip #2 Funstar $1.60
This highly touted filly from the Waller stable carried the weight of a nation on debut and saluted in fine style.
Against the older gallopers, she was ridden cold to sit near last before putting her rivals away with ease to win by 3.3-lengths.
She drops back to her own age group here, gets to a more suitable spacious race track and will take natural improvement into her second career start.
There are no prizes for tipping the half-sister of Group One winner Youngstar, but she'll add value for those playing all-ups and multi's.
Randwick Race 2 Tip #5 Revitup Rednut $9.00
This mare from the Tash Burleigh stable doesn't win out of turn, but she put the writing on the wall last start with an impressive fourth over the Randwick 1100m.
She meets similar opposition this time around and looks well suited stepping out to 1200m.
Jumping from barrier four, she will be given every possible chance with Jay Ford on top.
At the $9 she looks a good each-way bet.
Randwick Race 9 Tip #13 Spiritual Pursuit $2.30
This Jason Coyle trained filly was sent out a short priced favourite last start and was a sitting duck after racing three wide the trip at a fast clip.
She was a victim of a poor barrier in that run, but has drawn perfectly here (2) and will have to do less work to find the front.
Her one run on a heavy track resulted in a win. While that was against her own age group at the time, it was ultra-impressive and there is no doubting she'll relish the rain-affected surface this time around.
She's a filly with plenty of upside and with conditions to suit, expect her to salute.
