‘That is a great recipe': Trainer James Cummings cooks up Randwick rout with four top chances in last race
Godolphin maestro James Cummings was reluctant to rate his four sprinters but hinted the price assessors had it right with Kerguelen as favourite for the Switzerland At Coolmore Handicap (1200m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday. Cummings will also saddle up Contemporary, Pereille and Razors in the Randwick closer with all four of the stable's sprinters prominent in TAB Fixed Odds betting. But Kerguelen is the $2.40 favourite even though the promising gelding is only third emergency and needs another scratching to gain a start. 'Kerguelen's going really well and it would be nice to get him into the race carrying 52kg,'' Cummings said. 'For a horse on the rise that is a great recipe.'' • A five-year-old son of former champion racehorse and sire Lonhro, Kerguelen has only been to the races six times for three wins and three seconds. But Kerguelen resumed with a strong win over the talented Brave One at Rosehill and drops 5.5kg for the Randwick sprint, albeit he is up sharply grade. 'We have been so patient with this horse,'' Cummings said. 'Although we have always held him in high regard, he's needed time to mature and I would like to think our patience will be rewarded now. 'This might be one of the drier tracks he's raced on but he's going along so sweetly and is a chance to rocket through his grades.'' Kerguelen gives @JamesCummings88 and @KPMcEvoy a Rosehill double! ðŸ'° @godolphin | @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) May 31, 2025 • Kerguelen is the pick of the Godolphin quartet and the $2.40 favourite with TAB Fixed Odds with his stablemates Razors at $9, Pereille $9.50 and Contemporary at $11. Razors was twice stakes-placed as a three-year-old but hasn't raced for 12 months. Cummings has given the gelding two recent barrier trials to ready him for a Randwick return. 'I thought it was good work from Razors the other day in his trial and he's coming into this race looking pretty athletic for a horse coming off a long break,'' he said. Pereille ran fourth behind Headley Grange in a strong form race at Randwick last start and Cummings feels the sprinter is at his peak after two runs from a spell. 'He is going well and has come on from that last run,'' Cummings said. 'This does look a suitable race for him.'' Headley Grange wins first up to give @PrideRacing a Randwick double! 🙌 @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 7, 2025 • Topweight Contemporary has to shoulder 59kg after apprentice Benjamin Osmond 's 2kg claim but his second-up effort when third to In Flight in the Listed Bob Charley Stakes is very good form for the Randwick closer. 'Contemporary is knocking on the door and is ready to win,'' Cummings said. 'He is up there where it hurts in the ratings but that is offset with the claim and he should be very strong late in the race.'' Cummings, who will take a break from training at the end of next month before moving to Hong Kong for the 2026-27 season, also has three-year-old fillies Amusing and Glorioso entered for the Quayclean Handicap (1300m) although the trainer hinted only the former was a certain starter. 'I like the look of Amusing, her trials have been good and I'm happy for her to go back to the races,'' he said. 'Glorioso won last start (Gosford) but I'm just considering the options with her, we might even wait for Wednesday (Kensington.'' A great finish at @hawkesburyrc with Glorioso getting the win in a photo - and that's a double to @ZacLloydx! @JamesCummings88 | @godolphin — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) October 24, 2024 Cummings also has chances interstate with Kin contesting the Listed $160,000 Gai Waterhouse Classic (1200m) at Ipswich while boom two-year-old Observer lines up in the TAB We're On (1420m) at Flemington. 'Kin has a lovely barrier (two) at Ipswich she should be able to be ridden to her strengths,'' the trainer said. 'As for Observer, there is a lot to like about that horse. He was stylish winning last start (by five lengths at Sandown), he has come a long way and will only get better.'' â– â– â– â– â– Hooligan Tommy 'right in the race' Hooligan Tommy, part-owned by NRL legend Greg Alexander, can continue his form surge in the Midway Handicap (1600m). The John Sargent -trained Hooligan Tommy has won two of his five starts this campaign including his dominant effort at Kembla Grange last start by more than three lengths under 60.5kg. Tough four-year-old Hooligan Tommy drops to 58kg and is at $8.50 behind Callistemon at $3.40. 'Hooligan Tommy is on top of his game and is right in the race,'' Sargent said. 'He is better on a firmer track which he will get on Saturday, and a good, hard run mile will suit him. He's worked well during the week and looks great in the coat.'' Hooligan Tommy seems to have found his niche race distance around 1600m after being tried as a stayer last season when he ran unplaced behind Riff Rocket and Ceolwulf in the ATC Australian Derby. Sargent also ran Glad You Think So in that Derby with the gelding finishing a very game third in the prestigious Group 1 classic. Glad You Think So hasn't lived up to that promise since but Sargent is optimistic the stayer can find something like his best form this winter, starting with a comeback run in the Traffic Warden At Darley Handicap (1400m). Glad You Think So fights back and gets up! @jeanvovermeire @jsargentracing — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) September 15, 2023 'He had a so-so campaign last time but I think he's come back in very good order this time,'' Sargent said. 'I think he will sprint well fresh. Although he will get back a bit, as long as he is hitting the line I will know he is on the right track.'' Meanwhile, Sargent has sent emerging filly Bearings interstate for the Ken Cox Handicap (2000m) at Flemington. Sargent was hoping to get Bearings to the Queensland Oaks but the filly failed to qualify despite consistent results this campaign including wins at Goulburn and Newcastle. 'Bearings has gone to Melbourne as this looks a nice race for her with good prizemoney,'' Sargent said. 'She does gets back in her races so hopefully they run along because she will be hitting the line.'' â– â– â– â– â– Hopper ready to Medal at Randwick The winning form of Mickey's Medal has given trainer Peter Snowden added confidence Hopper will be hard to beat in the QMS Media Handicap (1600m). Hopper, a son of former super sire Snitzel, made a race of it with Mickey's Medal at Rosehill three weeks ago, finishing a close second. Mickey's Medal then franked the form by winning again at Rosehill last Saturday. 'The form around Hopper is good, it's always nice to see the form hold up,'' Snowden said. 'The Randwick race sets up well for Hopper. He's drawn a nice gate and should get his chance.'' Oh Mickey, you're so fine! It's Mickey's Medal for the win at Rosehill! 🥇 @NockBraith | @ANeashamRacing | @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) May 31, 2025 Snowden has Sakima, also by Snitzel, entered for the Quayclean Handicap (1300m) but is still deciding whether to start the filly. 'Sakima lost her way a little bit last preparation but she's showing some good signs at home with her trackwork,'' Snowden said. 'I still haven't decided if I run her Saturday or wait for Wednesday.'' Snowden is also upbeat about the chances of Xidaki in the Listed $200,000 Eye Liner Stakes (1350m) at Ipswich. â– â– â– â– â– What's in a name? Fans of the blockbuster movie and perennial family favourite Sound Of Music will recognise the name of a three-year-old gelding in the maiden opener at Kembla Grange. So Long Farewell is named after the hit Rodgers and Hammerstein song from the movie and the inspiration is obvious – his dam is Sound Of Music. â– â– â– â– â– Storm Boy ready to roll at Royal Ascot Irish training genius Aidan O'Brien expects to see a 'completely different level of performance' from former Australian sprint star Storm Boy in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (1200m) at Royal Ascot on Saturday night. Storm Boy ran poorly at his debut for the O'Brien stable in Ireland last month but the brilliant three-year-old colt has pleased the Coolmore crew at trackwork since that run. 'We had a few bits and pieces to iron out of him leading up to the Greenlands Stakes,'' O'Brien told English media this week. 'While we got those things sorted out, we then didn't have the time to get enough work into him to have him where we wanted for that race in conditioning terms. 'But we've been able to get much more serious with him since that run in terms of work and it's very possible you'll see a completely different level of performance at Royal Ascot.'' Storm Boy, who will be ridden by Ryan Moore, is a $5 equal second favourite behind French star and Golden Eagle runner-up Lazzat at $3.90 for the Jubilee Stakes on the final day of the Royal Ascot carnival. • Tips from the big bookies for Saturday's racing â– â– â– â– â– 5 YEARS AGO Trumbull, trained by Kim Waugh and ridden by Tommy Berry, was too good for Order Again in the Civic Stakes, run that year at Rosehill.

Trainer Joe Pride expects another bold showing from 2025 Civic Stakes favourite Headley Grange
Trainer Joe Pride is yet to find Headley Grange's ceiling but expects the bombproof galloper will be up to the challenge of Saturday's Listed $200,000 Civic Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick. Pride will launch a three-pronged attack in the feature with Headley Grange the clear pick of the litter in the main event of the 10-race card alongside Cool Jakey and Estadio Mestalla. Headley Grange has been a revelation for Pride over the past 12 months and hasn't finished worse than second in nearly a year with four wins in his past eight starts. The son of Exosphere was a well-backed favourite when scoring first-up from a break with a strong victory in Benchmark 94 grade at Randwick. 'I can't remember the last time he missed the place, he is very honest and genuine,' Pride said. 'I think he is one of those ones where you don't need the trainer to recommend him to punters. I am sure they will all pile in. 'He is the clear favourite for a reason, very consistent. I guess if you have to pick holes in what he has to do on Saturday, it's his first time in Listed grade so that has to be against him. 'The conditions of the track are neither here nor there for him. He goes just as well on wet or dry. 'The 1400m is spot on so there's seemingly not many chinks in his armour.' Headley Grange wins first up to give @PrideRacing a Randwick double! 🙌 @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 7, 2025 The Civic Stakes will be the first time in his 17-start career that Headley Grange has been tested in stakes grade but Pride believes his four-year-old is more than worthy of the opportunity. Headley Grange has been one of the most consistent horses in Pride's stable and has continued on an upward trajectory. 'He could well go to another level. I figure he has a ceiling there somewhere,' Pride said. 'He has got the engine there and he won like a Listed race would be well within his mark. He is a going well.' Headley Grange, to be ridden by Jason Collett, is the $2.70 favourite for the Civic Stakes with Cool Jakey at $10 and Estadio Mestalla at $23. Cool Jakey is dropping back in trip with Reece Jones aboard after leading from the front and tiring late in a mile event at Randwick a fortnight ago. • Ray & Duff's Randwick tips: Punters should plan their Exit on Saturday 'It was a mile race and he was OK at the mile on a leaderish track two starts ago but last start at a mile at the pace he went it was too far for him,' Pride said. 'Back 200m here. He has been fortunate enough to race on some wet tracks of late and it's been to his advantage. 'Saturday will be the driest he has had. It could be an issue for him.' While Estadio Mestalla is the outsider of Pride's trio, he's expecting an improved effort from the gelding. Estadio Mestalla finished five lengths off Headley Grange first-up from a break with Chad Schofield to take over the ride. 'He will run much better than his place in the market suggests,' Pride said. 'I can't quite put my finger on what happened to him first-up but he has pulled up well and is a horse that is very capable at this level. 'He has run second in a Little Dance and placed in this race last year. 'I am not asking him to do anything he hasn't before and I think he can get back to that form on Saturday.' He will saddle up another in-form galloper when Storm The Ramparts ($4.20) goes in search of a third consecutive victory in the Asahi Super Dry Benchmark 78 Handicap (1000m). Storm The Ramparts will have to lug the topweight of 61.5kg after scoring back-to-back victories at the same venue this prep. 'He keeps creeping up in the weights but weights in 1000m races don't matter as much,' Pride said. 'I am happy with him. He is honest and genuine. 'He is another one that has been able to hit those soft and heavy tracks at those last three runs. 'Coming back to a track that is a soft 5 is he disadvantaged? Probably.'

Randwick Inside Mail: Gerald Ryan-trained Grebeni poised for breakthrough in 2025 Civic Stakes
Grebeni can snap a frustrating run of feature race near misses in the Listed $200,000 Civic Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday. The Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou -trained Grebeni is racing very consistently without winning this preparation with four minor placings from five attempts. The striking chestnut resumed with a close third to Sandpaper in the Group 3 Newcastle Stakes before a narrow loss to Lavish Empire in the Muswellbrook Cup. Grebeni had excuses when unplaced behind Punch Lane at Randwick but he then ran a good third to Tavi Time in the Scone Cup before he ran Loch Eagle to less than a length in the Racing To Win Handicap. Ryan said there was some consideration given to saving Grebeni for a stakes race at Eagle Farm next week before it was decided to give the five-year-old his chance in the Civic Stakes. 'We were originally going to go to Eagle Farm but the way that track is racing we didn't want to risk him,'' Ryan explained. 'So, he will have this run then probably have a breather and we will get him ready for the Little Dance or the Big Dance in the spring.'' . @KPMcEvoy gets Grebeni home to win by half a length after going head to head in the last 200 with Riyazan! — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) December 30, 2023 • Grebeni, who has drawn well in barrier four, is at $10 in latest TAB Fixed Odds betting behind Civic Stakes favourite Headley Grange at $3. 'There is good speed in the race and Grebeni is coming back to 1400m so I thought he would be off the pace to midfield,'' Ryan added. Grebeni's stablemate, Green Shadows ($14), gives Ryan and Alexiou dual representation in the Civic Stakes. Green Shadows, part-owned by popular Sky Thoroughbred Central presenter Gavin Carmody, has also returned to racing this campaign in very good form but has drawn off the track. He ran a close second to Name Dropper in the Tamworth Cup then was beaten three-quarters of a length by Headley Grange over 1300m at Randwick last start. 'Green Shadows comes in to either 14 or 16 after the scratchings,'' Ryan said. 'He's come back well and if he gets the right run, he can make a race of it.'' .@GRyanRacing make it back-to-back Goulburn Cup wins! ðŸ�† Green Shadows wins the Goulburn Cup with @RachelK11 on board 🙌 — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) August 25, 2024 â– â– â– â– â– RANDWICK BIG BETS AND MARKET MOVERS Race 1: Callistemon $6-$4.20, Piraeus $8.50-$4.60 Race 2: Shropshire Lad $5-$4.80, Satin Stiletto $8-$5.50 Race 3: Lunaite $5.50-$4.60, Bengal $21-$12 Race 4: Millie De Lune $4-$3.80, Piggyback $8-$6 Race 5: Hopper $8-$5, Rotagilla $11-$5.50 Race 6: Quantum Cat $4.60-$3.10, Zaphod $5-$3.20 Race 7: Storm The Ramparts $3.80-$3.50, Gitalong $4.80-$4 Race 8: Raikkonen $3.40-$3, Fiddlers Green $11-$7.50 Race 9: Headley Grange $4.60-$3, Grebeni $19-$10 Race 10: Fully Lit $19-$7, Pereille $16-$9.50 MARKET MOVERS: FEATURE RACE FANCY $3 INTO $2.40 @ClintonPayne reveals where the early money is going for Saturday racing right around Australia. ðŸ'‡ — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) June 20, 2025 â– â– â– â– â– EARLY QUADDIE Race 3: 4,5,10,11 Race 4: 3,5,8,12 Race 5: 2,5,11 Race 6: 1,2,4,10 QUADDIE Race 7: 1,2,3,6 Race 8: 1,6,12,13 Race 9: 5,6,13,21 Race 10: 1,3,5,19 â– â– â– â– â– PRICE CHECK Storm The Ramparts and Gitalong (race 7) fought out the finish of a Randwick 1000m sprint two weeks ago and market moves suggest there might be a repeat on Saturday.

Trainer Matt Smith chasing back-to-back wins with Millie De Lune at Royal Randwick as stakes test looms
Trainer Matt Smith could be willing to contemplate a late Queensland winter carnival raid if Millie De Lune can put together back-to-back Royal Randwick victories this Saturday. Smith has the Group 3 $300,000 Winx Guineas (1600m) in the back of his mind for his progressive daughter of Puissance De Lune as she prepares to tackle the Elite Sand & Soil Benchmark 78 Handicap (1800m). Millie De Lune has shown an abundance of potential this preparation with two victories in five starts and scored her biggest win to date last time with a dominant win over 2000m on soft ground in town. 'She is going really good and has progressed nicely since that last run,' Smith said. 'We have tried her a couple of times on better ground and she doesn't like it much … she might be a bit better in time but I thought she would make a reasonable nice staying filly and have always thought that. 'She has taken time to come around.' It's Millie De Lune on the inside who gives @AshMorgan6 a Randwick treble! ðŸŒ� @mcsmithracing @aus_turf_club — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 7, 2025 Saturday's run will determine if Smith puts Millie De Lune over more ground again or drops her back to a mile for the Queensland stakes assignment. The emerging three-year-old will already be dropping back a furlong from her last-start win when she lines up on Saturday. 'She was really strong late the other day so if we get tempo she will be fine with the drop back in trip but if not, it might be tricky from the barrier (12) as well,' Smith said. 'It's always a concern coming back in trip.' Ashley Morgan pilots Millie De Lune, which is a $3.70 favourite to continue her winning ways. Smith is also in the hunt for the Listed $200,000 Civic Stakes (1400m) in which Astero ($34) links up with Andrew Adkins. But Astero will need to do something he's never done in 13 attempts – win at Randwick. 'I don't know why Randwick doesn't suit him,' Smith said. 'I think at Rosehill, it suits a horse that wants a bit more speed. 'The other day he was pulling behind them and he runs his best races when he is not right up on the bridle that much. 'But he hasn't been beaten that far and his three runs this time have been better than they look.' Smith also has Time Quest ($101) as the fifth emergency.

Trainer Gerald Ryan eyes winter reward before Grebeni and Green Shadows target Little Dance in spring
Trainer Gerald Ryan has one eye on a likely $750,000 Sydney spring date for Grebeni and Green Shadows but is hopeful either horse can claim a winter reward long before then at Royal Randwick on Saturday. Ryan and training partner Sterling Alexiou have both consistent stablemates prepared for this week's Listed $200,000 Civic Stakes (1400m) but are sweating on a start for Green Shadows. Grebeni ($16) is in the field for the feature event while Green Shadows ($11) was stranded as the second emergency for the race. The early scratching of Another One has enhanced Green Shadows chances of making the field. Both Ryan and Alexiou horses are nearing the end of their winter campaigns after already ticking an important box this campaign by gaining Big Dance-Little Dance eligibility. Grebeni has placed in four of his five starts this preparation with his second to Lavish Empire in March's Muswellbrook Cup assuring him a run in the Little Dance. The son of Ocean Park can sign off on his campaign in style in the Civic Stakes. 'Grebeni will stop after this,' Ryan said. 'He has won just on $100,000 and hasn't won a race this time in. 'He has been a consistent horse. He has his issues but he has been consistent and puts in every time he goes around as long as he has firmer footing underneath him. 'After his break, he will come back and hopefully hit the (Little Dance) third-up.' A spell isn't too far away for Green Shadows either despite the gelding only having two starts this preparation. Green Shadows has been runner-up in both his runs this time in but snared all-important Big Dance-Little Dance eligibility with a first-up second to Name Dropper in the Tamworth Cup. 'We won't go too far now,' Ryan said. 'He went into the Big Dance last year at the end of a long prep of about seven or eight runs. 'Now he is qualified for the Little Dance, we just poke along quietly and probably only give him two more runs before a breather and get him ready properly for it.' In-form apprentice Braith Nock will continue his recent association with Green Shadows if the gelding gets a start in the Civic Stakes. Headley Grange ($4.60 favourite) will make up part of a strong three-pronged attack for Joe Pride with stablemates Estella Mestalla ($26) and Cool Jakey ($8) also set to run. The Ciaron Maher-trained Warnie ($5) shares the second line of betting for the race with five emergency Raikkonen. A capacity field of 16 runners and six emergencies was revealed for the feature event.
