3/10/20 Best bets for Randwick

Punters won't know where to look on Saturday.

The Everest carnival lifts off at Royal Randwick with Epsom Day featuring a stack of black type racing, including three Group 1 clashes. 

Classy gallopers will battle it out over the famous Randwick mile in the Epsom Handicap, before Cups contenders will strut their stuff in The Metropolitan.

Nothing but sunshine is forecast for the harbour city and you can expect perfect racing conditions.

Randwick Race 4 Tip #1 Fierce Impact $2.20

It's hard to get away from the class factor in the form of Fierce Impact here and he looks perfectly placed back to a moderate Group 2 at weight-for-age (WFA) conditions.

The multiple Group 1 winner added the Makybe Diva Stakes to his collection last time out over 1600m, beating a very smart field in Melbourne.

In that clash, he was able to hold off the late challenge of Russian Camelot who has since franked that form by winning the The Underwood Stakes.

Since his last start win, the Matthew Smith trained gelding has been given a 1200m trial where he demolished his rivals by a widening 5 lengths. That work-out will ensure he's in good condition for the 2000m test.

He arrives on Saturday at peak fitness third-up from a spell and stretches out to 2000m in what looks a perfect set up.

He gets in very well at the WFA scale, having the best BM rating of 114.

They’ve found Nash Rawiller to take the reins, he is proven on dry ground (20:4:4:4) and maps for a perfect run in behind a moderate speed.

From there, expect him to stomp up and lay his Cox Plate cards on the table.

Randwick Race 5 Tip #5 Hungry Heart $2.25

I'm confident Saturday will be the day that Hungry Heart will step-up and tick off the Group 1 box with a victory in the Flight Stakes.

The filly has had two great lead in runs and looks set to turn the tables on her rival Dame Giselle here.

She got stuck in a pocket in the Tea Rose and forced James McDonald to get going early. She was then caught up for a stride or two at the top of the straight, before eventually finding clear air at the 200m mark. By this time, Dame Giselle was off and running.

The key to her chances on Saturday is the rise to 1600m, which she is crying out for. 

Barrier 4 is ideal, as it will allow her to land in the gun run 1-1 on the outside. With some solid speed in the race, expect her to attack the line and she won't have any traffic problems this time.

The ledger is in Dame Giselle's favour following her two victories this campaign, however it's advantage Hungry Heart here.

She had superior closing speeds on both of those occasions and I anticipate sweet revenge come Saturday afternoon.
