Kensington races preview & betting tips | Wednesday, October 25
| What | Kensington Races |
| Where | Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031 |
| When | Wednesday, October 25, 2023 |
| First Race | 2pm AEDT |
Racing heads to the Kensington circuit at Royal Randwick on Wednesday afternoon for a competitive seven-race program. The rail is out +4m the entire circuit, and with only a minimal chance of rain leading into race-day, we’ll be doing the form for a Good 4 surface. The opening race is scheduled for 2pm AEDT.
Best Bet: Vanquished
Vanquished returns from a 25-week spell having undergone a gelding operation, and if his barrier trials are anything to go by, it may have helped unlock the best of this three-year-old. His latest jump-out at Randwick on October 6 was sensational, travelling on speed to score by three lengths with plenty in hand. His two-year-old maiden form against elite company bodes well, and if Vanquished can bowl along in front under Brett Prebble, he looks the one to beat.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#6 Vanquished (5)
3yo Gelding | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Brett Prebble (57kg)
Next Best: Shohei
Shohei finished her last preparation with a minor placing in the Bendigo Gold Bracelet on April 1, going down by a nose to Foxy Frida. That’s strong form for a BM72, and with the claim of apprentice jockey Jett Stanley getting the weight down to 57.5kg, the Hawkes team has this five-year-old mare perfectly placed to return a winner after 206 days away from the races.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#3 Shohei (9)
5yo Mare | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Jett Stanley (a2kg) (59.5kg)
Best Value: Fleetwood
Godolphin has one runner engaged in this meeting as Fleetwood returns on the back of two strong barrier trials. The three-year-old colt hasn’t been asked to do much in those hit-outs, with the latest at Rosehill allowing him to stride out under his own steam. Zac Lloyd knows him well, taking the reins in both pieces of work, and although he’s got a tricky assignment from barrier 13, we’re confident Fleetwood can only run well.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#3 Fleetwood (13)
3yo Colt | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (59kg)
