Randwick Boxing Day races tips & best odds | December 26, 2023
| What | Randwick Races |
| Where | Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031 |
| When | Tuesday, December 26, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:35pm AEDT |
Holiday racing continues at Randwick on Tuesday afternoon, with an eight-race program lined up for punters on Boxing Day. The $250,000 Group 3 Summer Cup (2000m) headlines the meeting, as the rail moves back to the true position after the course proper had been utilized with the rail out +6m on Saturday. There are some showers forecast across the weekend in the region, so we expect the surface to sit somewhere in the Soft range prior to the opening event at 1:35pm local time.
Summer Cup Tip: Huetor
Huetor is building nicely fourth-up into the campaign and looks set to peak in Tuesday’s feature event. The son of Archipenko was luckless second-up at this course on October 28 in the Group 3 Craven Plate (1800m), chomped out for a run at a crucial stage and should’ve finished much closer than the 2.5-length margin may suggest. He followed it up with a solid effort in the Group 1 Champions Stakes (2000m) at Flemington on November 11, and with this a much more suitable fixture for the two-time Group 1 winner, Huetor should be right in the finish.

7yo Gelding | T: Peter & Paul Snowden | J: Tom Sherry (60kg)
Best Bet: Hanau
Hanau returns after a 143-day spell and a gelding operation on Tuesday afternoon and looks prepared for a first-up assault. The James Cummings-trained three-year-old has been sent to the barrier trials on three occasions to gain fitness in his legs, with the latest at Hawkesbury on December 12 catching the eye, trucking through the wire under his own steam. Zac Lloyd has the tricky assignment of overcoming barrier 14, but if he does, Hanau can show his class to pick up a much-deserved maiden victory.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#3 Hanau (14)
3yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (57kg)
Next Best: Very Sewreel
Very Sewreel was able to break her maiden first-up on the Kensington circuit at Randwick on December 1, fighting off a gallant Miss Emma in the process. The runner-up has since won, franking the form nicely as this daughter of Snitzel heads to the course proper on Tuesday afternoon. Tom Sherry gets the appointment this time, and with similar tactics to lead throughout, Very Sewreel is sure to give followers a bold sight up on speed.

#10 Very Sewreel (5)
