RANDWICK
NIC ASHMAN (Daily Telegraph). Tipster’s form: 16027
RYKER
Race 8 No.12
This is purely off trackwork, and if you saw him gallop, you’d be keen to jump on the $21 around town. He’s ready to peak here in a tricky race.
TAB Fixed Odds: $15
STEPHEN ZAMMIT (Daily Telegraph). Form: 54x6
NAYELI
Race 3, No.2
Got through along the rails to score at Randwick in on March 7. Failed in the wet ground next time out but a better run can be expected here, especially if the rain stays away.
TAB Fixed Odds: $14
DARREN PRENDERGAST (Super Racing). Form: 35635
VASHKA
Race 7, No.12
Worked through the grades impressively during the summer and has finished worse than second only twice in 11 starts. Facing toughest test here, but has a good first-up record and won two of three starts at 1200m.
TAB Fixed Odds: $9.50
CAULFIELD
MATT STEWART (Herald Sun). Tipster’s form: 79922
PYROLLIC
Race 10, No.18
Excellent without luck first-up behind Prince Harada. Drew off track that day. Fitter.
TAB Fixed Odds: $11
ROD NICHOLSON (Herald Sun). Form: 35112
MIRAGE
Race 10, No.13
Went too hard when leading in Hareeba Stakes at first run for a year. Extra distance will suit and meets winner (Under The Louvre 3.5kg better terms).
TAB Fixed Odds: $8
MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 2701x
NICOSCENE
Race 4, No.5
Three-year-old who has lots of upside. Sat wide and proved too good at Moonee Valley last start. Takes on older horses this time and has drawn out but has a class advantage.
TAB Fixed Odds: $4.60
DARYL TIMMS (Herald Sun). Form: 25920
MIRAGE
Race 10, No.13
Big effort last starter when raced first time for 12 months and will appreciate the 1400m.
TAB Fixed Odds: $8
SIMON MOY (Super Racing). Form: 300
POLITENESS
Race 9 No.8
Has never won below 1200m but don’t let that deter. Quality mare who will be running on late and given the right run can figure at business end. Could be the value.
TAB Fixed Odds: $8
DOOMBEN
BRAD DAVIDSON (Gold Coast Bulletin). Form: 6350
BANDIT QUEEN
Race 5, No.12
Yes, it’s the most open race of the day but you’re getting a big price about a horse that gave Queen Of The Lochs a big fright at Ipswich last start. Freshened for the drop back to 1050m and can give this a shake at big each-way odds.
TAB Fixed Odds: $18
MORPHETTVILLE
LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser).
MADDIE MOO MOO
Race 4, No.7
Was the subject of a massive betting plunge on debut when she got back and made ground behind Misty Waters. Should be improved by the run and gets her chance to break through.
TAB Fixed Odds: $3.80
BEN SCADDEN (The Advertiser). Tipster’s recent form: 0
REBELLE
Race 8, No.7
Good effort here two starts back and did a good job at Moonee Valley when he was right in the race until the final 50m. Back to the mile and looks good value in a race with a few chances.
TAB Fixed Odds: $9
