Randwick Race 9 - King Charles Iii Stakes (G1)
AUTUMN GLOW (5) first loss of her career came when third to Sir Delius in the Queen Elizabeth over 2000m here in the autumn. Returned with two effortless victories in the G1 Winx Stakes (1400m) and G2 Seven Sunrise Stakes over 1600m here. Undefeated at the trip and on rain-affected going. Stalks the speed and is the one to beat again. CEOLWULF (1) won this race last year and appears to be going just as well after his unlucky second in the G1 Epsom Handicap over this course and distance. Gets the right set-up and can really test favourite. MILITARIZE (4) backs up for the third week in succession after running sixth in the G2 Hill Stakes at Rosehill over 1900m last Saturday. Conditions suit and goes into the exotics. JUST FOLK (3) is holding form and can give a bit of cheek on his preferred race surface.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 5th of 13 in a G2 Theo Marks Stakes at Rosehill on September 12 over 1300m, 2.25 len behind Skyhook with 53kg at $41. Second-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.75 len in the G1 Epsom Handicap at this track on October 3 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Ceolwulf with 50kg at $26. Has gone to a new level but tested in this grade.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 in the LR Paris Lane Stakes at Flemington on October 3 over 1400m, on heavy track; 1.3 len behind Cote Atlantique with 59kg at $9. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 16 in a LR Heatherlie Stakes at Caulfield on August 29 over 1700m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Kingswood with 59kg at $11. Conditions suit and can sneak into the minor money.
