BEST; Randwick Race 5 no. 1 VICTOREM @ $2.60 - I think Victorem is clearly the best bet of the day! He’s trialled lovely twice and will attack this first-up (as will many others). Could have beat Viridine first-up last preparation in a strong race at Scone and then went on to do some really good things, including that brilliant LR Hinkler win at Eagle Farm. Missed in this race last year but the heavy track was against him. He’s drawn perfectly and if Tommy finds clear running, he should be winning!

NEXT; Randwick Race 3 no. 2 BURNING CROWN @ $3.40 - I’m with Burning Crown who is a horse that can absorb pressure which he did well last start when he was attacked and was still fighting out the finish with November Man and Human Nature. His form around England and Call Me Royal from last preparation is great for this! He has problems settling when he doesn’t lead but will win better races than this in his career. Hard to beat!

VALUE; Race 4 no. 5 BETCHA FLYING @ $6 - I loved what Betcha Flying did first-up and if she drew a barrier, she would have been in the mix for the best bet of the day. She really surged late in that last 50m first-up and will relish the extra distance here. She won second-up last preparation and with some luck from the awkward draw, she can do the same here.

ROUGHIE; Race 6 no. 13 FIESTA @ $19 - Fiesta is a knockout chance for me. She won a very strong race first-up over Estijaab (G1 Golden Slipper) and Mizzy (we’ve seen what she’s done so far this preparation!) and then not much went right for her after that. She wasn’t asked to do anything in her trial (good) and now shows up here with James McDonald in the saddle. If Brutal gets rolled, she could be the one!

Good luck,

BJ
