Metro racing returns to Royal Randwick on Thursday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program lined up on the Kensington circuit. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and although the track is rated a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, there is still hope for an upgrade into the Good range courtesy of drying conditions forecast on Tuesday and Wednesday. All the action at Randwick is scheduled to get underway at 1:15pm local time.
Best Bet at Kensington: Piastri
The Ciaron Maher-trained Piastri returns after a 26-week spell and brings some quality form to this BM78 contest. The son of Choisir was brilliant in his only start in Sydney last preparation, claiming a dominant 1.5-length victory at Rosehill on August 17. He appears to be well weighted with 58kg on his back after the 3kg claim of apprentice hoop Anna Roper, and with any sting out of the ground a major benefit to his chances, expect Piastri to be flashing over the top at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#1 Piastri (6)
4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Anna Roper (a3kg) (61kg)
Next Best at Kensington: Travolta
Travolta was a good thing licked on Australian debut, closing all over heels in the concluding stages at Warwick Farm on February 19. The Lope De Vega gelding never came off the bridal, with the four-year-old cruising through the wire under his own steam. Look at that performance at a glorified barrier trial heading into this second-up assignment, and with the booking Nash Rawiller marking serious intent from team Waller, expect Travolta to be fighting out the finish this time around.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#8 Travolta (2)
4yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Nash Rawiller (57.5kg)
Best Value at Kensington: Sigiriya Rock
Sigiriya Rock showed plenty of promise in his debut preparation, claiming one victory and four more minor placings across his five starts. The son of Alabama Express showed versatility and steady improvement every time he stepped out, including his latest effort over a staying trip at Flemington on January 1. He may want further than the 1400m first-up in the Randwick finale; however, with more potential upside compared to some key rivals, Sigiriya Rock warrants respect at the price with Dabble.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#8 Sigiriya Rock (12)
3yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Reece Jones (57.5kg)
