Open Book (Randwick R9 No. 5) - drawing barrier 14 is a huge blow to this horse particularly the way that he likes to race up near the speed. The Peter Horwitz-owned galloper is a terribly promising horse already building a great record and arrives here looking a picture of health and well-being if his two trials are anything to judge by. With even luck, he's the one to beat but the barrier draw has had a marked impact on the race.
