Royal Randwick is the destination for metro racing on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-part program set for decision. The Group 2 Ingham (1600m) headlines the action, with the $2 million feature granting the winner ballot exemption for the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) in the autumn.
The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with the track is rated a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances and only light rainfall predicted in the lead-up, don’t expect that rating to shift on race-day morning. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm local time.
The Ingham Tip: Port Lockroy
The Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained Port Lockroy returns to Sydney after claiming the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) at Ascot on November 23 and warrants respecting at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers. The son of Better Than Ready was given the perfect steer by Clint Johnston-Porter on that occasion and gets a very similar setup drawn in gate three with Tyler Schiller in the saddle. He’ll look to stalk his rivals from the one-one, and provided he can give his customary kick turning for home, Port Lockroy should get every chance to secure back-to-back wins.

Christmas Cup: Sea King
It’s hard to go past Sea King in the $200,000 Christmas Cup (2400m) as he makes his debut for the Matthew Dunn barn. The European import produced an enormous effort in the Melbourne Cup (3200m) on November 5, with the son of Sea The Stars getting back to near-last from barrier one before attempting to circle the field from an impossible position. He was a dominant winner of the Group 3 Bendigo Cup (2400m) prior to that performance, and simply put, if he can replicate that effort, Sea King should prove too classy for this lot.

Best Bet at Randwick: Jewellery
As highlighted in the Follow Files, Jewellery is worth forgiving after returning first-up at Rosehill on November 30. The daughter of Lonhro was dragged back towards the rear of the field after bombing the start and had no luck in the concluding stages, barely coming off the bridal in the final furlong. It was a glorified barrier trial, and although her second-up record doesn’t read well only finding the frame once in three starts, trust that Jewellery can take the necessary improvement to claim the Randwick finale.

Best Value at Randwick: Infancy
The Kris Lees-trained Infancy continues to race without luck, closing off well in her latest start behind Niance at Caulfield on November 16. Jason Collett will have no choice but get back from barrier 11, but with the likes of Eagle Nest and Brudnell to set a genuine tempo, it should allow the four-year-old mare to wind-up down the centre of the course. She’ll need luck if she’s going to knock off a few of the more fancied runners, but at the $13.00 with Playup, Infancy gets the verdict in the Listed Razor Sharp Handicap (1200m).
