Visit Dabble

Randwick is the destination for metropolitan racing this Saturday, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail moves out +9m between the 1000m marker to the winning post, while the remainder of the rail is out +6m. The weather is improving across the region, with strong winds drying off the course proper, so we anticipate the track to sit in the Good range for race-day. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm AEDT.

Best Bet at Randwick: Glory Daze

Glory Daze was impressive when producing two victories in his first Australian campaign and almost returned to the winner’s enclosure first-up at this course and distance on December 16. The son of Cotai Glory didn’t initially look as though he was going to figure in the finish on that occasion, as the five-year-old had to lift himself off the canvas, only being headed in the shadows of the post. That race has produced three subsequent winners, with two of those coming at stakes grade. It appears to be the strongest form for this BM88 contest, and provided Glory Daze has taken a step forward in the preparation after a month between runs, he must be considered the one to beat.

Next Best at Randwick: Ucalledit

Ucalledit will resume from a 161-day spell in the Listed Carrington Stakes (1400m), and in our opinion, seems to be missed in the market. The double figures on offer with top horse racing bookmakers is too good to pass up after saluting at this track and trip at on two occasions last preparation. Both those wins were at Listed level, and the recent barrier trial at Newcastle on January 5 was enough to suggest the son of Zacinto is wound-up for this event. The Kris Lee-trained galloper has a strong first-up profile and we’re more than happy to have an each-way ticket on this returning six-year-old.

Best Value at Randwick: Almania

There seems to be real intent first-up for Almania as he looks to return over 2000m after 315 days off the scene. He was made to win his latest jump-out at Newcastle on January 5, with the gelding by Australia rolling forward and kicking clear by a half-length on the wire. He should get an economical run from gate three on Saturday, and with form lines from last preparation that read much better than BM88 quality, we’re convinced that Almania can only run well to kick-off his third Australian campaign with Kris Lees.
