Dynamic horses, Dream Choice and She's a Rock Star will be competing in back to back races as they tackle the Kensington track at Randwickon ANZAC day.
Dream Choice will line up in the fifth race on the card, the HMAS Vendetta Handicap over 1300 metres and will be looking to turn the tables on the top weight, Under the Sun, who was a narrow victor last start.
Top jockey, Jimmy Cassidy will take the ride and his experience and horsemanship will go a long way in securing another good result for Dream Choice, David Payne and Team Dynamic.

He has drawn barrier 6 of 16 but is likely to come in to barrier four after scratchings.
A combination of Cassidy's experience and the fact that Payne has the horse in brilliant condition, we are expecting a competitive performance from this promising gelding 2nd up on Wednesday. Should he run well, we are eyeing off runs in the Hawkesbury Guineas and Scone Guineas in coming weeks.
She's a Rock star will also line up on ANZAC day when it takes part in the El Alamein Handicap, the sixth race of Wednesday's card.
After travelling to Brisbane first up to hit a bottomless track after torrential rain fell during the meeting, then having a few weeks off to get over that experience before one run back in Sydney, Team Dynamic are hopeful that the daughter of Rock of Gibraltar will be getting closer to peak fitness and be ready to show similar formlines to her outstanding efforts last preparation..
The race looks very competitive on paper but we anticipate a few scratching with some of her opponents having only raced on Sunday.

In form hoop, Tommy Berry has been booked to ride the mare and has drawn barrier four which should enable him to get a nice run in transit, all things permitted.
A step up in distance and a drop in the weights is likely to see the horse improve from its previous two outings and a finish in the mix would not surprise our team for this 6 year old mare.
However the state of the track will be a major consideration for both horses. Neither is happy on soft ground and the Kensington surface is a track that regularly favours on pace runners and when its a slow and heavy track, it tends to favour runners on the outside fence. Neither of these racing patterns assists our runners, so we remain a little guarded as to what gremlins lay ahead of us.
You can watch both these horses go around on TVN on Wednesday, race 5 from 3.04pm and race 6 is due to jump at 3.39pm.
