Randwick Boxing Day racing preview
Royal Randwick plays host to nine races on Boxing Day this weekend, headlined by the Group 3 Summer Cup. The rail moves out +2m for the entire circumference of the course, the track is rated a Soft 5, and the first race will jump at 1:05pm local time.
Race 5 – Frosty Rocks (#3)Bjorn Baker and Tom Sherry combine with the ghostly grey Frosty Rocks in a 1600m Benchmark 88. Drawn on the rails with just 56.5kg, he’ll boot forward and lead the field of 13. He was way too good for his rivals first up this prep, then caught a case of second-up syndrome when he finished five lengths off Master Jamie in the Gateway at Eagle Farm. He couldn’t quite cross the leader and winner that day and so faded late. Up to a mile and drawn perfectly for a horse of his nature, he should make every post a winner on Boxing Day.
Race 1 – Vandoula Lass (#8)Team Hawkes saddle up two-year-old filly Vandoula Lass, who bolted in at Sandown on debut and was given an easy time of it in a recent trial behind Mura Mura. She steps up to 1100m and should have no trouble crossing the field from barrier five to take up the lead. The daughter of Vancouver looked very speedy on debut, so she could run them off their legs here.
Race 8 – Intrepidacious (#5)Intrepidacious has won four from 16 and placed in another four, so she is very consistent. Her fourth-place finish at this track last start behind Snapdancer and Tailleur looks fantastic form for this race. She steps up to 1400m for the first time but gets in well at the weights and should get a nice run in transit to settle in the first couple of runners. If Rachel King doesn’t have to work too hard to find a position, the John O’Shea-trained mare will be very hard to beat.
