Metropolitan racing heads to Royal Randwick on Saturday afternoon for a huge 10-race card kicking off at 12:35pm local time. The fields are stacked, with 156 acceptors across the meeting, so expect many differing form references to line up this weekend. The rail is out +5m the entire circuit, and with the weather seemingly favourable heading into race-day, we should be racing on a genuine Good 4 surface.
Best Bet: Marquess
Marquess has won at three of four starts so far this preparation, and we see no reason why that trend can’t continue. The son of Tavistock has been travelling nicely through the grades, with his latest win coming in a BM88 at Rosehill on September 23. The five-year-old gelding stays in that company, and although he gets a 3kg penalty for his trouble, we’re confident Marquess can chalk up his fourth win of the campaign.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#6 Marquess (8)
5yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (58kg)
+110 with Betfair
Next Best: Dynamic Impact
Dynamic Impact has shown plenty of fight in his two runs since returning from a spell. You’ll be getting an each-way price with online bookmakers for this Bjorn Baker-trained gelding, as he’s been defeated a combined 6.6 lengths across his two starts. It’s a deceiving stat, however, as he’s been chasing home the quality of Airman and Kibou in those races, and you’d have to imagine both of those gallopers would be well found in a race like this. Dynamic Impact is a consistent type, and with this being his easiest task to date, expect a bold showing.
Best Bet
Race 10 – 
#9 Dynamic Impact (6)
6yo Gelding | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Rachel King (56.5kg)
+1000 with Neds
Best Value: Smartawi
Smartawi makes his return from a 147-day spell in the BM72 Midway Handicap. The now four-year-old put together four wins across eight starts and has been a model of consistency for the Gregory Hickman barn. You can make the argument that he should’ve won his penultimate start of the preparation when narrowly defeated by Let Me Reign at Rosehill on May 20, before being thrown in the deep end behind Kovalica in the Group 1 Queensland Derby (2400m). His first-up record doesn’t bode well, but at genuine outsider odds with the top betting sites, he’s deserving of plenty of respect here.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#11 Smartawi (7)
4yo Gelding | T: Gregory Hickman | J: Tyler Schiller (58kg)
+6000 with Bet365
