What	Randwick-Kensington Races
Where	Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031
When	Wednesday, November 1, 2023
First Race	2pm AEDT
Visit Dabble

Royal Randwick is the destination for NSW metropolitan racing on Wednesday afternoon as the Kensington circuit gets set to host a quickfire seven-race program. The rail moves out +2m the entire circuit for the meeting, and with only a small chance of rain hitting the track, we’ll be doing the form for a Good 4 surface. Racing is scheduled to get underway at 2pm AEDT.

Best Bet: Mogwai

Mogwai returned after a gelding operation on October 18 and was an impressive runner-up behind Keenan over 1300m. Zac Lloyd got everything out of the three-year-old, charging along the inside running rail, but the winner was simply too good. The margin back to third was significant, and with the extra 100m on Wednesday sure to be a positive for the son of Epaulette, we’re confident Mogwai can improve to score second-up.

Best Bet

Race 1 – #5 Mogwai (2)

Next Best: Tulle

Tulle will debut for the James Cummings barn after two outstanding barrier trials. Her latest effort at Hawkesbury on October 16 particularly caught the eye, as the daughter of Sepoy raced under her own steam and cruised to the wire under a stranglehold for Zac Lloyd. It was a quality piece of work, only solidified by the booking of James McDonald for race-day. Provided McDonald can get cover from barrier seven, Tulle looks ready to break her maiden at the first time of asking.

Best Value: Furious

Furious had zero luck at Kembla Grange on October 12, as he was dragged back towards the rear of the field and ran into nothing but backsides. We’re taking the four-year-old on trust from his maiden victory at Sandown on September 20, which has produced four subsequent winners. If Furious can replicate that kind of performance on the Kensington circuit third-up, he’ll be hard to hold out.
