Metropolitan racing returns to the Kensington circuit at Randwick on Wednesday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program lined up for punters. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with no significant rainfall predicted in the lead-up, the current Good 4 rating should hold true for race-day. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1:25pm local time.
Best Bet at Kensington: Extremely Hardys
It’s been 97 days off the scene for Extremely Hardys since producing a dominant debut victory at Canterbury on July 3. The daughter of Extreme Choice led all the way to score by six lengths before heading to the paddock, with the Chris Waller barn being very patient picking out this first-up assignment. This BM72 contest should prove the testing material for the progressive three-year-old, and if she can put in a similar performance at start two, Extremely Hardys may be putting her hand up for black-type later in the spring.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#7 Extremely Hardys (3)
3yo Filly | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (56kg)

Next Best at Kensington: Captain Furai
Captain Furai returns after a 115-day spell and brings a formidable resume into this BM78 contest. The four-year-old gelding won three of his four starts last preparation, including an eye-catching victory at Rosehill on June 15, sitting wide without cover to salute stylishly. He draws barrier five with James McDonald getting legged aboard this time around, and provided he can gain an economical run first-up over the 1400m, expect Captain Furai to prove too classy for this lot.

#4 Captain Furai (5)

Next Best Again at Kensington: Darling Downs
Darling Downs appears well placed second-up after a strong first-up maiden victory at Hawkesbury on September 12. The daughter of Deep Field checked off heels before careering away to score, with the Ciaron Maher-trained filly showing an impressive turn-of-foot in the concluding stages. Jason Collett gets every chance to lob into the one-one from barrier two, and although she may be looking for a step up in trip, Darling Downs should have the ability to take care of her rivals in this competitive BM64 contest.
Next Best Again
Race 2 – 
#4 Darling Downs (2)
4yo Mare | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Jason Collett (57.5kg)
