Metropolitan racing returns to Royal Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-part program set for decision. The rail is out +11m between the 1600m to 1000m markers, while the 1000m marker to winning post is out +8m. The weather in the lead-up should all but ensure a genuine Good 4 surface for race-day, however, with the rail out significantly, expect the track to play favourably to on speed gallopers. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 11:20am local time.
Best Bet at Randwick: Fleetwood
Fleetwood was an impressive two-time winner this campaign before heading to Melbourne, where things simply haven’t gone to plan. He should’ve made it a hat-trick at Caulfield two starts back but staggered out of the barrier due to some minor interference, showing a stunning turn-of-foot to close within 4.5 lengths of Whistlefield. He was then simply outclassed down the Flemington straight on July 6, but with a drop back to BM88 company seemingly ideal as he returns to his favoured Randwick circuit, expect Fleetwood to prove too strong for this lot.
Best Bet
Race 7 – #4 Fleetwood (4)

Next Best at Randwick: Vivy Air
Vivy Air returns after a 105-day spell and a change of stables, with the Ciaron Maher barn taking over from Archie Alexander. The daughter of Hellbent has always shown plenty of promise in the past, being sent around in some key spring features, including the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on November 18. This BM72 must be considered a dramatic drop in grade compared to what she’s faced in the past, and although her best trip may be further than the 1300m, Vivy Air warrants respect first-up for the new stable.

Best Value at Randwick: Peace Officer
Peace Officer should relish getting back on top of the ground after finding conditions too testing at this course and distance on July 13. The four-year-old struggled to make an impression on the Soft ground, but still whacked away to finish within 3.5 lengths of Ha Ha Ha. Zac Wadick takes the reins from barrier 12 this time, and although he may need some luck navigating a passage throughout the 1600m journey, the $16.00 available with online bookmakers seems too big for Peace Officer in this wide-open BM72 contest.
Best Value
Race 3 – #1 Peace Officer (12)
4yo Gelding | T: Clarry Conners | J: Zac Wadick (a3) (61kg)
