Already a multiple Group 1 winner, Godolphin’s powerhouse colt Broadsiding is aiming to add another prestigious title to his collection in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas this Saturday. With James McDonald in the saddle, he is poised to start as the favourite at Sydney’s iconic racing headquarters, though a strong field of contenders will be aiming to stop him in his tracks. Leading the charge against Broadsiding is Swiftfalcon, trained by Team Hawkes and ridden by Tyler Schiller. Swiftfalcon finished a strong second behind Broadsiding first-up but is expected to be even more dangerous with the rise in distance to the mile, a trip that should suit him perfectly. Another serious contender is the Chris Waller-trained filly Aeliana, who comes out of the same lead-up race as Broadsiding and Swiftfalcon. Although she finished third on that occasion, Aeliana hit the line with impressive speed, clocking some of the day’s fastest sectionals. If she can repeat that late charge, she will be a major threat come race time.
