Randwick Kensington tips and results

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Nash Rawiller

Now second-up with natural improvement expected and drops significantly in class from an earlier Open company run. The booking of Nash Rawiller is a major positive, and the colt has shown ability on soft going.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.70 · James Mc Donald

Portofino brings solid credentials second-up from a spell after a promising 3rd at Canterbury (1200m) when resuming. The Chris Waller-trained gelding gets the services of J McDonald from the inside gate and should appreciate the step up to 1400m. Has been racing in stronger company and drops significantly in class here. Expect natural improvement second-up.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.60 · Tommy Berry

Viva Mauricio comes off a solid 2nd at Canterbury over 1550m, suggesting the 1400m here will be ideal. The Waller-trained gelding has been knocking on the door with placings and gets the services of Tommy Berry. Has been racing consistently and should get a good run in midfield from barrier 6. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his running style.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Rachel King

Saytara is second-up from a spell after a solid 4th at Canterbury over 1200m. The Waterhouse/Bott-trained filly should improve with that run under her belt and the step up to 1400m looks suitable. Rachel King takes the ride and should have her positioned prominently in the run. The stable is known for having their horses fit and ready to fire second-up.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.50 · Dylan Gibbons

The John O'Shea & Tom Charlton-trained filly draws well in barrier 7 and retains the services of in-form jockey Dylan Gibbons. While unproven on soft tracks, her breeding suggests she should handle the conditions, and her progressive profile indicates further improvement second-up.

Our price $15.00 · SP $26.00 · Braith Nock

Despite a disappointing last-start 8th, this filly has shown ability with a 3rd on debut and should improve second-up.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.50 · Zac Lloyd

Wootten It Be Nice is a lightly-raced but progressive 3yo filly who won impressively last start over 1350m. The step up to 1550m looks suitable based on her racing pattern, and Zac Lloyd is a positive jockey booking. The class rise is significant, but she appears to have plenty of upside and should be competitive from a good draw.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

The slight drop back in distance shouldn't be an issue, and she gets in with just 54kg. The booking of K McEvoy is significant, and while she's yet to win, her recent form suggests a breakthrough is near.

Our price $10.00 · SP $26.00 · Rachel King

The Archibald-trained gelding has found form with a win and a placing from his last two starts and draws perfectly in barrier 1 to utilize his tactical speed. While stepping up in class, his strong record at this distance (1-0-1 from 2 starts) and Rachel King in the saddle are significant positives.

Our price $8.00 · SP $5.00 · Tommy Berry

Raskol brings winning form after scoring impressively at Canterbury 13 days ago. The Peter Snowden-trained filly is lightly-raced but progressive, has a perfect record on soft tracks (1-from-1), and draws ideally in barrier 5. This represents a significant class rise but her upside is substantial.

Our price $21.00 · SP $51.00 · Anna Roper

While her last run was poor, she's had 193 days to freshen up and has won first-up twice before.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.40 · Chad Schofield

While first-up statistics aren't ideal (0 wins from 2 attempts), she has placed first-up previously and thrives in wet conditions (2 wins from 7 attempts on soft/heavy). The expected soft track plays to her strengths.

Our price $9.00 · SP $10.00 · Rachel King

The lightweight (54kg) is advantageous, though her soft track record (0 from 2) is a concern.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Anna Roper

Her track and distance record is impressive (1 win from 2 starts) and she gets in with just 53kg. While she faces a class rise from her career average, her recent performances suggest she's improving at the right time. The inside barrier could be advantageous if the expected rain creates an on-pace bias.
