Metro racing returns to the Kensington circuit at Randwick on Thursday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program scheduled for ANZAC Day. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, and with sunny skies predicted in the lead-up, the surface should be rated a genuine Good 4. ANZAC Day racing is set to commence at 12:45pm AEST.
Best Bet: Call Me Gorgeous
The David Pfieffer-trained Call Me Gorgeous was sensational on debut at this course on January 17. He maintained a three-wide run throughout the 1000m journey and never shirked the task, getting within two lengths of Ballet D’Esprit. His trials suggest he returns in magnificent order, and provided Nash Rawiller can gain some cover in the middle stages, watch for Call Me Gorgeous to be barrelling over the top to score.

Next Best: Redbreast
Redbreast put them away with ease at Hawkesbury on February 21, making every post a winner to score by two lengths. She set a strong tempo before racing clear with the prize, justifying the short price with online bookmakers. She won a barrier trial by seven lengths at Randwick on April 8 to keep her ticking over nicely for the Waterhouse & Bott barn, and with similar jump-and-run tactics, it’s hard to picture Redbreast getting chased down in this BM68.

Best Value: Bunker Hut
After two attempts to book his ticket to the Provincial-Midway Championships Final (1400m), Bunker Hut returns to a much easier grade third-up. He was held up with nowhere to go in his most recent outing at Newcastle on April 3 and should’ve finished much closer than the 3.4-length margin may suggest. Barrier eight with 61kg on his back doesn’t seem ideal, but Bunker Hut brings an element of class to this BM72, so watch for Zac Lloyd to drag him back and get the last crack at them.
Best Value
Race 4 – #2 Bunker Hut (8)
