Redzel and In Her Time are set to battle out the TJ Smith Stakes

Punters have narrowed the TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick this Saturday down to a two horse race, and no surprise, it is the two big guns.

Redzel is the proven big time performer and holds the call as it stands at $2.30 but has been easy after opening even money. The strong early support has come for In Her Time, who got her maiden Group l win last time in the Galaxy. She opened $4.50 and has firmed to $4.20. Could start shorter if that trend continues.

The other key contender in the race is Brave Smash, who has been $7.50-$7 twice. He was a late nomination but after a slashing run in the Newmarket, the stable have elected to go this way.
