Worked hard to finish 3rd last start at Randwick. Should come to hand quickly. James Mcdonald is a key engagement. Going well this campaign. Gets a solid chance here.

Racing well recently. Most recently led but faded 3rd of 16 in the G1 Golden Eagle at Randwick on October 31 over 1500m, 1.1 len behind Skyhook with 57.5kg at $8.50. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 14 in the LR Silver Eagle at Randwick on October 17 over 1300m, on a slow track; 0.6 len behind Apocalyptic with 58.5kg at $2.40. At his preferred trip and will take plenty of catching.

Speedster who hung on for third in the Golden Eagle. Led and easily won over this trip at Caulfield first up. Each-way claims.

Fifth-up, he comes off a close third in the G1 over 1500m and has a G1 win over 1400m; he is drawn to lead again. He carries 1.5kg more than last start, but the map and class record make a strong case.

Model win 5.62 · place 1.94

Was $3.80 and finished 7th last start at Randwick. Can show a better performance this time and will appreciate a good alley. Matched against a stronger field. Rates as one of the key chances.

At the latest run 7th of 15 in the G2 Russell Balding Stakes at Randwick on October 31 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Pericles with 58.5kg at $3.80. The run before that 6th of 12 in a G1 The Everest at Randwick on October 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Tempted carrying 58.5kg at $19. No hope latest, he'll be steaming home.

Charged home to score three back. Sound from the back in the Everest. Too far back but solid latest. Suspect Sandown 1400m will suit.

Fifth-up and back to 1400m after finishing seventh in a G2 over 1300m last start; he also has a G1 third at this distance. Likely to settle back, and while his recent form needs to improve, the trip keeps him firmly in the mix.

Model win 6.44 · place 2.10

Ran 8th last run at Randwick. Has good finishing speed. Nice value bet.

Most recently got back early 8th of 12 in a G1 The Everest at Randwick on October 17 over 1200m, slow going 2.75 len behind Tempted with 58.5kg at $51. The start before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m defeating Sepals with 56kg at $5. Very talented and sets up well to his right trip.

Freshened since settling back and running on without threatening in the Everest. Strong win this trip at previous. Include.

Fifth-up, his eighth in the G1 over 1200m last start came after a G1 win over this 1400m trip. Back to a more suitable distance, he shapes as the main outside danger.

Gave them a lesson when winning by 4 1/4L last start at Flemington and strong form at this distance. Unbeaten last 2 starts and drawn nicely. Definite claims for punters.

Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; won by 4.5 len in the G3 Maybe Mahal Stakes at Flemington on November 3 over 1400m defeating Tomato Toastie with 58kg at $2.70. Before that favourite; won by 2.75 len in the G2 Tristarc Stakes at Caulfield on October 17 over 1400m defeating Terilee with 56kg at $3.60. Been dominant her past two, can give them something to catch again.

In-form mare who earned a crack at this level with dominant on-pace wins at past two. Will have proved Group 1 horses chasing her, but she is flying.

Sixth-up, she arrives off consecutive wins over 1400m, most recently a 4.3-length G3 success, and maps on pace again. The rise to G1 level is substantial, but her winning run commands respect.

Flew home to win last time at Randwick and proven runner at this distance. Taking on stronger opponents. Low-key chance.

Dual acceptor. Last start won by 0.8 len in the G2 Russell Balding Stakes at Randwick on October 31 over 1300m defeating Headwall carrying 58.5kg at $17. The race before that 7th of 16 in the G2 Sydney Stakes at Randwick on October 17 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Grafterburners carrying 58.5kg at $13. Brings fresher legs and is a G1 winner this trip.

Well placed to come from just off pace and win a rich race third up. Barriers hurt at first two this prep. Racing well.

Fourth-up, he won the G2 over 1300m last start by 0.8 lengths and has G1-winning form over 1400m. He maps off the speed, but has the class to measure up.

Was $13.00 and ran on into 5th last time at Flemington but challenged by a tougher grade. Should be swooping on the field late. Slim chance.

Second-up. First-up after four months got back early 5th of 8 in the G2 Mcewen Stakes at Flemington on October 24 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Smooth Chino with 56.5kg at $13. Previously second-up settled well back; won by 1.75 len in the G2 Victory Stakes at Eagle Farm on May 2 over 1200m in the wet defeating Payline with 56.5kg at $8.50. This trip suits but fancy she's outclassed.

Ran the third-fastest last 400m (22.58) in a solid return. 1400m Group 1 winner, but this is harder. Place preferred.

Second-up after finishing fifth in a G2 over 1200m, she gets a more suitable trip, having won a G1 over 1400m earlier this year. Her recent figures are weaker, so she needs to recapture that better form.

Stormed home to win last run at Caulfield and ideal trip as proven previously. Has run into the money multiple times this campaign but matched against tougher rivals. This will be a test.

At the latest run came from midfield and won by a head in the G3 Harry White (Moonga) Stakes at Caulfield on October 17 over 1400m defeating Private Eye carrying 59kg at $3.70. Before that 14th of 16 in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on September 19 over 1400m, 9 len behind Angel Capital carrying 56.5kg at $21. Will need to improve again.

Back to winning form when he outlasted Private Eye. Barrier 16 hurt at previous. Stiffer test here but did win a Stradbroke. Consider.

Fourth-up, he won a G3 over 1400m last start after a below-par 14th in G1 company over the same trip; he maps off-mid. That latest win brings him back into consideration, though he needs to reproduce it in stronger company.

Model win 96.92 · place 14.40

Was $31.00 and ran 6th last start at Flemington and racing in stronger company. Highly unlikely to feature here.

At the latest run 6th of 16 in a G2 The Damien Oliver at Flemington on October 31 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Private Eye carrying 57.5kg at $31. The start before that 7th of 9 in the G2 Schillaci Stakes at Caulfield on October 10 over 1100m, 4 len behind Jigsaw with 58.5kg at $26. Will need to do a lot more.

Settled midfield and wide rising to this trip on Derby day, sticking on fairly. Not as well suited at weight-for-age. Place.

Fifth-up, his latest sixth in a G2 over 1400m follows two sixth-place finishes over shorter trips. Recent form points to a sizeable turnaround being needed.

Racing and Sports

ANGEL CAPITAL (3) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 2.75 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1200m at Randwick four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. The one to beat in this line up. JIMMYSSTAR (1) went back early from his wide draw over 1300m in the G2 Russell Balding Stakes at Randwick last time but hit the line strongly to finish seventh. One to watch for in the dying stages. PERICLES (2) performed above expectations last time over 1300m in the G2 Russell Balding Stakes at Randwick, getting the prize by 0.8 lengths. Good record at this journey with five wins and three minor placings from 12 starts and is one of the contenders. BEIWACHT (5) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1500m in the G1 Golden Eagle at Randwick. Worth including.

Dabble

Beiwacht appeals as the top pick in the CF Orr Stakes, with a strong tempo expected to suit his front-running style and allow him to dictate terms. He has been competitive in strong company this preparation, finishing third in both the Silver Eagle and Golden Eagle, and gets an ideal opportunity returning to 1400m, a distance over which he is unbeaten. James McDonald takes the ride from barrier 3 and should be able to position him prominently. Shadhavar is the main danger after consecutive dominant wins over 1400m, including a 4.5-length victory at Flemington during Cup Week. She is racing in outstanding form and should settle close to the speed, but faces a significant rise in class. Beiwacht gets the nod with his proven Group 1 form and favourable race setup. BEIWACHT (5) Was in the hunt for a long way when 3rd last start at Randwick. Should race on the speed. Jockey James Mcdonald is a strong choice aboard. Major chance. SHADHAVAR (8) Shot away to win by a margin of 4 1/4L last start at Flemington and suited at this trip in the past. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Genuine winning chance. JIMMYSSTAR (1) Came in 7th last start at Randwick. Can show a better performance this time and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Up in grade. Looks to have a good chance of placing. ANGEL CAPITAL (3) Finished 8th last run at Randwick. Will be hitting the line strongly. Genuine threat.

Timeform (FanDuel)

Onto our feature. Eight horses but the quality is there. ANGEL CAPITAL (3) is as good as any of these on his day as evidenced by his win in the G1 Rupert Clarke two back where he got a hot tempo to run at and exploded late. Blinkers stay on from The Everest which was too sharp back in trip, he'll sit off a strong pace here and have plenty of time to balance up and rip home. JIMMYSSTAR (1) beat Angel Capital in this race last year, arguably his best win to date although his form since has been a bit mixed. The Manikato win was impressive but he didn't beat a whole lot there, The Everest run was solid and he had no chance from the gate in the Russell Balding so excuses can be made. PERICLES (2) won the Russell Balding under a sweet ride. He's a G1 winner this trip and might be on fresher legs. BEIWACHT (5) is the 7f G1 specialist. He might not get all favours with SHADHAVAR (8) kicking up inside him but he did belt Angel Capital & Jimmy in the Memsie earlier this Spring.

Best Bets

Beiwacht and Shadhavar to control this early and improve coming to the turn. ANGEL CAPITAL was an impressive winner over this trip two back before a fair run in the Everest. He should relish the return to 1400m and Sandown with its long straight looks ideal. JIMMYSSTAR at his best would be hard to hold out also. Are we going to get the Jimmysstar of three starts back or the solid but unspectacular version of his past two? BEIWACHT will take running down. SHADHAVAR has earned a crack at this level and should give a sight. PERICLES and WAR MACHINE next.

Racing Central

BEIWACHT (5) looks set to lead, with SHADHAVAR (8) close up on pace; PERICLES (2) and JIMMYSSTAR (1) will need to make ground from off the speed. BEIWACHT (5) has a G1 win over 1400m and was a close third in the G1 over 1500m last start. PERICLES (2) arrives off a G2 win over 1300m and has G1-winning form at this distance. JIMMYSSTAR (1) has been competitive in G1 company over 1400m, but needs to respond after consecutive unplaced runs. SHADHAVAR (8) has won her last two over 1400m, including a 4.3-length G3 success, but faces a substantial rise in grade.
