CHANGE MY ADDRESS (9) is a first starter by Exceedance from a Sebring mare who both won on heavy ground. Led out very wide and raced away for an impressive win on heavy ground in her May 5 Randwick trial. NAZWAH (11) is a debutant by Capitalist and a half-sister to recent Group 1 winner Charm Stone. Followed an easy second to Iniesta in her Apr 11 Rosehill trial with a stylish win in her Apr 24 Randwick heat from Crocodile. MARINERA (10) is an Exceed And Excel filly on debut. Nice wins in both trails.

BET: CHANGE MY ADDRESS (9) each-way.

RACE 3: 3&4yo Benchmark 64 (1100m)

LIVIN’ THING (2) was good in his first campaign including a big debut win at Hawkesbury. Resumed this campaign for a new stable with a smart win nice win at Kembla from Zaragoza who franked the form with a win last weekend. BIG RED TEQUILA (7) was held up until near the 150m when third to Night Sky on debut at Wyong. Bounced back with a smart win from Cold Gin on a heavy track at Canterbury.

BLACK RUN (1) was hampered near the 300m when fourth to Poppin’ Champagne at his Australian debut here on Apr 16 before a third to Jamberoo over 1800m at Hawkesbury’s stand-alone meeting. Will appreciate the 2110m. JUNEBUG (6) returned to NSW and scored a handy win from All Hunky Dory over 2130m at Wyong before a third to stablemate Asgoodassobergets in a BM78 at Gosford’s stand-alone meeting.

BET: BLACK RUN (1) to win.

STRUCK GOLD (3) was inconvenienced over the concluding stages when fourth behind Tuned over 1200m here second-up. Loves a heavy track with two wins and a third from three runs and gets in well with a 3kg claim. APEX (5) won well first-up last campaign before a couple of close seconds at Canterbury. Returned this preparation with a second to Cassiel with 61kg. Drops to 57.kg here. DON’T DOUBT MERLIN (7) resumes here off two good trials.
