Betting Tips: Early Market Movers at Randwick & Mornington 19/4/25

With plenty of action right across the country this week, Australia's #1 racing formula has found where the sharp money has landed.

At Mornington, the Price/Kent stable have attracted heavy support across multiple runners.

While at Randwick, the Freedman team appear to have sparked a strong push for a lightly raced galloper.

As always, any further market push close to start time would add extreme confidence.

 

 

Mornington Tips

 

Toronado Queen

Impressive debut winner at Geelong when unwanted in betting, but showed a great attitude late and fought strongly through the line.

The Toronado breed typically improve into their 3YO season, so for this filly to produce so early could suggest above-average talent.

This isn’t an overly deep Saturday race, so she can absolutely measure up and remain unbeaten.

 

Serious Statement

Huge betting move last start and delivered with authority at Pakenham.

The 1600m now looks perfect for him.

May be ridden slightly closer this time which would only enhance his winning prospects.

Third-up, fit, and trending the right way.

 

Golden Crusader

Owned by a shrewd group including Luke Murrell, who no doubt had his private models say “bet up” here.

The horse is building nicely this prep and looks ready to peak in what is a winnable race.

Any strong late move would be a massive green light.

 

Hedged

Has Group 2 form and now drops back to Listed level where he looks ideally placed.

The booking of Ben Melham is a notable rider upgrade and should allow the horse to capitalise on the class drop.

The stable have always had a big opinion of him—this could be the day he finally delivers on potential.

 

Randwick Tips

 

Engine Room

Big support early for this Bryce Heys-trained galloper.

He was green but strong late when winning at Warwick Farm first-up.

The wide draw is a challenge but if Zac Lloyd can slot in midfield, this horse will be storming over the top.

One of the sharper early plays.

 

Lilac

Now trained by Annabel Neasham, who will be keen to impress the Champion Thoroughbreds team with whom she’s now building ties.

This filly profiles well, will be fit and ready for the big stage and could be the improver at odds in this race.

 

Cerlui

Absolutely smashed in early markets and is one of the biggest gapping moves of the week.

The stable clearly backed him first-up at Muswellbrook where he won well as a $2.50 favourite.

Don’t be surprised if we’re still getting overs here as big syndicates can underrate the Freedman stable strike-rate.

 

Cool Jakey

Smart win two back and a strong 2nd at Rosehill last start. Now up in class again but continues to progress through the grades.

Jamie Kah takes over, and if he continues improving, he could earn himself a crack at stakes level soon.

Keep safe.
