We’re back to Royal Randwick on Saturday, July 29th for another quality ten-race program that is dripping with talent.
You can find my complete Royal Randwick Tips below!
ATC Thank You Trainers Handicap (1100m) – 11:20am
Malaboom is a month between runs, but this race is well within her means, and she looks to have a class edge over a lot of them.
The Spirit Of Boom filly ended her debut prep with a maiden win in the Listed Calaway Gal at Eagle Farm back in December, and she returned to finish third, beaten two lengths at Caulfield last month.
I like that she’s been back to the trials since that effort, and she looks primed to strike.
Suggested Bet: No. 2 Malaboom
Midway Handicap (1600m) – 11:55am
A Midway Handicap looks the next logical step for Invincible Legend to take.
The I Am Invincible gelding was freshened after striking in Class 1 company at Kembla Grange back in May, and returned with an eye-catching performance to win in BM72 company at Randwick-Kensington earlier this month.
With natural improvement, he just needs some luck in running from out wide to fight out the finish again.
Suggested Bet: No. 6 Invincible Legend
Highway Handicap (1200m) – 12:30pm
I’m keen on the resuming Supido Beauty in this week’s Highway race.
Supido Beauty’s three race wins to date have been nothing short of excellent, and she went to the paddock after a credible effort for fifth in a Highway Handicap back in February.
A recent trial win suggested that she is quite forward, and she has a very bright future.
Suggested Bet: No. 10 Supido Beauty
Thank You Stable Staff Handicap (1800m) – 1:05pm
Decadent Tale was forced to leave from a difficult barrier here at Randwick last time out and was never really in it, but I am keen to give her another chance this week.
The Kermadec mare has been a good performer right the way through her campaign, finding form around some talented opposition.
She’s hard fit, drawn well this week and gets some relief in the weights under Zac Lloyd this week.
Suggested Bet: No. 2 Decadent Tale
ATC Thank You Owners Handicap (1800m) – 1:40pm
Touristic has been a model of consistency this time and strikes another winnable race this week at Randwick.
The Frankel gelding has missed placing once in five starts back, including an eye-catching win over 1800m at Rosehill Gardens two back, while he hit the line well to fill the minors here at his latest after settling back.
He’s in peak order, drawn well and with even luck, he can finish over the top of them.
Suggested Bet: No. 4 Touristic
Marcellin College Randwick (1300m) – 2:15pm
Whinchat was just pipped late by a couple of fit ones at Canterbury first start back this time, but I am expecting him to improve into this race.
The Russian Revolution gelding has missed placing once in four previous trips to the races, and his condition just gave out a little late first-up.
He’s still sweating on a run as the field’s third emergency, but I’m confident he’ll be tough to run down with only 54kgs in tow should he gain a start.
Suggested Bet: No. 15 Whinchat
Godolphin Lifetime Care Handicap (1100m) – 2:50pm
Mogo Magic is a star on the rise, and he can continue his rise through the grades this week!
The Goulburn-based sprinter has been a revelation for trainer Scott Collings since making his debut, winning each of his four starts to date.
He was way too good for them in a Highway race at Rosehill at the beginning of this month, and while this is another step up in class, he looks more than up to it.
Suggested Bet: No. 4 Mogo Magic
Kanebridge Handicap (1100m) – 3:30pm
Insurrection is chasing a hat-trick when he takes his place in the eighth in Sydney on Saturday.
The Russian Revolution returned to finish second behind the talented Omni Man at Warwick Farm back in May and hasn’t taken a backwards step, winning each of his two subsequent starts impressively.
Clearly, he’s hardly put a hoof wrong this time in, and I can’t find a reason why he won’t be in the finish again.
Suggested Bet: No. 4 Insurrection
NSWROA Trophy (1600m) – 4:10pm
I’m sticking with Battleton in the penultimate race at Randwick on Saturday.
Battleton continued to improve with each of his three starts back this time before storming home to claim an eye-catching win over 1400m here two starts back.
On the short back up last time, he was luckless and to be fair, a little flat, but I like that he has now had two weeks since that run, and we can have an each way play this week at his current quote ($8 at publish).
Suggested Bet: No. 4 Battleton
Gow-Gates Insurance Brokers Handicap (1300m) – 4:50pm
Banana Queen resumes in the last at Randwick on Saturday and rates as a key winning chance.
The So You Think mare was a strong and consistent performer through summer, winning each of her first three starts back before only just missing in BM78 company.
She finished just over two lengths behind the winner in Group 3 company in a hit-and-run autumn mission this year, while a recent trial adds further confidence of her cause this week.
Suggested Bet: No. 3 Banana Queen
