The Snowden-trained galloper can spring an upset on competitive Randwick card

- Michael Lee

Go Wide With Lavish Empire

Summer is over in Australia, but the racing at Randwick is heating up with three Group 2s and a Group 3 set down for decision on Feb 15.

With the Via Sistina-Ceolwulf showdown in the Group 2 Apollo Stakes (1,400m) taking centre stage, other big guns like crown favourite Fangirl, 2024 Golden Slipper winner Lady Of Camelot or Caulfield's Thousand Guineas winner Joliestar will certainly give a whiff of what is in store as the upcoming Sydney Autumn Carnival looms.

But, for the value payout hunter seeking a wider spread of choices, the A$160,000 (S$136,000) Benchmark 88 Handicap (1,300m) slated to kick off at 2.15pm (Singapore time) as Race 7 on the Singapore Pools Australia racecard may be more attractive.

From a starting field of 15 including three standby starters, it is now reduced to 13 following the scratchings of Gravina and arguably the X factor of the race, second emergency Sunshineinmypocket.
