19/9/20 Randwick Tips and Best Bets

A huge day of racing is ahead at Randwick on Saturday, with a 9-race card headlined by the Group 1 George Main Stakes. 

The sun has been shining in Sydney over the past week and punters will welcome the Good 4 racing surface with open arms. 

The rail is in the true position and at this set up, punters should expect the track to play fair.

 

Randwick Tips from Adrian Sciglitano

 

Randwick Race 6 Tip #6 Verry Elleegant $2.40

I'm excited to see the star of the Sydney turf back to the races over the famous Randwick mile. 

The now five-year-old mare from the Chris Waller stable was dynamic off a spell winning the Winx Stakes over 1400m, after sitting five deep in transit.  

She was able to show a good turn of acceleration between the 600-200m mark, which was impressive considering the tough run she experienced.

She gets here with added fitness and has been given a month between runs besides an exhibition gallop, in what looks a perfect lead-up.

The mare stretched out to the mile where she was narrowly defeated second-up last preparation in the Chipping Norton Stakes.

She excels at Randwick (8:3:2:0), retains the services of top Sydney hoop James McDonald and draws perfectly in the small field of seven giving herself every chance.

From the favourable gate, expect J-Mac to take luck out of the equation and position the mare on-pace before displaying her dazzling turn of speed.

Expect Verry Elleegant to announce herself as the new Queen of the Turf and set her sights on the Melbourne Cup.

Randwick Race 4 Tip #3 Hungry Heart $2.00

It was an outstanding return by the daughter of Frankel in the Furious Stakes at Randwick.

She had a sticky barrier and was vulnerable first-up against a race fit Dame Giselle, but showed she has come back well.

The filly mustered early speed and sat only 2 lengths off the pace in the first 200m, but drifted back as the race went on.

She was caught a touch flat-footed when the sprint went on at the 600m mark over the 1200m trip but she started to get warm late. 

This was evident in her sectionals home, where she recorded the slowest 600m-400m time before reeling off the fastest last 400m and 200m.

That run will bring her on and we can expect natural improvement here second-up where she's one from one.

1400m looks ideal and from barrier 3, she can sit a lot closer in the run with the softer tempo.

She has come up short but deservedly so.

Watch her turn the tables on Dame Giselle and I'm keen to stick with her for the rest of the prep.
