Metro racing returns to Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-race program set for decision. The rail is out +3m the entire way around, and although the track is rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, punters should expect an upgrade into the Good range thanks to the sunny skies forecast in the lead-up. The opening event is scheduled to underway at 11am local time.
Civic Stakes Tip: Strait Acer
Strait Acer has been underwhelming this preparation, unable to record a victory in six starts; however, the Listed Civic Stakes (1400m) appears to be his best opportunity to break the draught. The son of Headwater should appreciate getting back on top of the ground after striking a Soft surface at Doomben in the Group 3 BRC Sprint (1350m) on May 25. The Group 1 placegetter gets in well with 57kg on his back, and with Tim Clark likely to slot into the perfect stalking position from barrier four, Strait Acer should get every chance to return to winning ways in the $200,000 feature.

Best Bet at Randwick: Elouyou
Elouyou is being sent on the float to NSW for the first time after a hat-trick of runner-up performances to kick off the campaign. He hasn’t missed the frame in seven starts, with the four-year-old traditionally adopting front-running tactics, including his most recent performance at Flemington on June 8. He was only nosed out in the final 50m last time, and with this race lacking genuine speed on paper, watch for Elouyou to repay the faith, making every post a winner in the Randwick finale.
Best Bet
Race 10 – #9 Elouyou (12)

Next Best at Randwick: Dipsy Doodle
Dipsy Doodle returns after a 119-day spell and looks to be back in terrific order based on her two recent barrier trials. The James Cummings-trained filly was hardly asked to stretch out in her latest effort, cruising through the wire at Rosehill on June 11 to get within a half-length of Pink Shalala. She’s promised plenty in previous campaigns, and although you may need to take the short price with online bookmakers, Dipsy Doodle should justify the price provided James McDonald can take control from barrier seven.

Best Value at Randwick: Fortune
Fortune prepares to make his Australian debut for the Annabel Neasham barn and brings some quality French form to this BM88 contest. The gelding by De Treville finished close behind the likes of Bold Act and Horizon Dore at Listed level, prior to his arrival, boasting two wins and two more minor placings in 10 starts. He won a jump-out at Hawkesbury on June 3 leading into this, and provided Tyler Schiller can gain an economical run despite the wide draw, Fortune should be careering down the centre of the course.
Best Value
Race 6 – #8 Fortune (13)
