It’s week 1 of The Championships at Royal Randwick, the crowning moment of the Autumn Carnival.

With four massive Group 1s and a stack of feature races on the card, it’s shaping up to be a blockbuster day of elite racing.

From proven champions to emerging stars, Mick Gannon & Luke Hovhanesian you are covered with expert insights, top tips, and everything you need to back a winner.

 

Randwick Feature Race Tips from Mick Gannon

 

Race 9 – ATC Australian Derby 

#18 Aeliana $3.10

Aeliana was luckless in the Rosehill Guineas but showed she relishes the 2000m, running on strongly despite not getting clear air when needed.

She now steps up to 2400m, draws ideally in barrier 2 and brings the highest-rated performance into this field.

If she runs out the trip, she ticks every other box and will take a power of beating.

 

 

Race 6 – Sires Produce

#2 Wodeton $2.70

Wodeton only needs to reproduce his Golden Slipper rating to be winning here.

The wide draw plays to his advantage, allowing him to get to the best part of the track late.

He’ll need a horse to take him into the race from the 600m and Federalist looks the most likely to do just that.

In what shapes as a race in two between Wodeton and Rivellino, the former should be the one storming down the outside while Rivellino may be stuck closer to the inside and needing luck.

Race 2 - Adrian Knox Stakes

#5 You Wahng $13.00 | #6 Belle Detelle $14.00 | #4 Sun 'N' Sand $14.00

The market is wrong here.

The two runners at the top of the market have zero reason to be as short as they are and as a result, we are getting ridiculous quotes for three runners.

You Wahng and Sun 'N' Sand were outstanding in the G3 Kembla Classic and with even luck go close to winning the event.

The other is Belle Detelle who comes up from Melbourne after a nice freshen-up and looks set to fly here with Damian Lane booked to ride.

You can currently back all three of these horses to return over $4 per $1 staked.

Outstanding bet considering the current favourite is gross unders at $3.20

 

 

Race 7 - T.J. Smith

#6 Sunshine In Paris $10.00

The fact double-digit odds are floating around for this star mare is ridiculous.

She was outstanding in the Canterbury Stakes first up with a race tempo completely against.

She won't have that issue here with genuine speedsters launching early.

If she finds a spot in running early enough and makes sure she isn't detached from the field, she can storm home over the top of them.
