Metro racing returns to Royal Randwick on Wednesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-part program set to take place on the Kensington circuit. The rail moves out +3m the entire way around for the meeting, and with the track already rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, punters can expect that rating to hold for race-day with more rainfall forecast in the lead-up. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 2:20pm local time.
Best Bet at Randwick-Kensington: Blue Vein
Blue Vein caught the eye returning on the course proper at Randwick on Boxing Day, storming down the middle of the course to get within a half-length of Endure. The son of Blue Point was asked to do a mount of work from the rear of the field, with the lightly raced three-year-old never shirking the task. He can sit much closer to the speed drawn in barrier three this time around, and after being heavily backed with horse racing bookmakers first-up, punters can expect Blue Vein to make amends here.

Race 3 – 
#2 Blue Vein (3)

Next Best at Randwick-Kensington: Endure
The Chris Waller-trained Endure appears to be the one with the most upside heading into the fourth event of the program after securing her maiden at Randwick on December 26. The Yes Yes Yes filly seems to be a grinding type and should appreciate stepping out to the 1550m third-up into the campaign. Barrier eight possesses some risk of getting caught wide without cover but leave it to the capable hands of Kerrin McEvoy to ping the lids and hold a spot forward of midfield. Provided she handles the testing conditions, Endure must be considered the one to beat.

Race 4 – 
#4 Endure (8)

Best Value at Randwick-Kensington: Rematch
Rematch returns after a 209-day spell and appears primed to strike first-up into the preparation. The gelding by Real Impact was pushed out to score in a recent barrier trial at Newcastle on December 30, and although the 1400m may be short of his best trip, the five-year-old appears to be fully wound-up heading into the final race on the card. Benjamin Osmond should land somewhere midfield with cover from stall five, and with Rematch possessing the best turn-of-speed in this race, watch for this guy to be storming down the centre of the course at an each-way price with Picklebet.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#5 Rematch (5)
5yo Gelding | T: Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich | J: Benjamin Osmond (a3kg) (61kg)
