What will it take for Eduardo to beat Nature Strip in Saturday’s $15m TAB Everest (1200m) at Royal Randwick? It’s a question trainer Joe Pride has spent plenty of time pondering and he’s come to the conclusion that Eduardo has beaten the champ before, so he knows it can be done, but to do it over 1200m in an Everest it’ll need a “tactically perfect” ride from Nash Rawiller. “Statistically it ...

The Group 3 Northwood Plume Stakes is a contest often lost among the array of highlights on the Caulfield Guineas card, but for the Godolphin stable, the mares-only race might hold the answer to a burning question. Going in as favourite in the 1200-metre sprint is Godolphin's four-year-old Brazen Beau mare Zapateo, who could suddenly emerge as a frontrunner for the stable's slot in the $15 ...
