Metro racing continues at Royal Randwick on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-part program set for decision. After a stack of feature racing hosted at Randwick of late, the rail moves out +9m between the 1000m to winning post, while the remainder sits out +7m. The track is rated a Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, and with more consistent rainfall forecast leading into the weekend, punters can anticipate a surface nearing the Heavy range. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 11:30am local time.
Best Bet at Randwick: Beskar
Beskar couldn’t quite reel in the half-length margin of North England in the Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes (1100m) at this course and distance on April 5, but didn’t lose any admirers in the process. The son of Snitzel got into a bumping duel with King Of Pop in the concluding stages which didn’t help matters, with the pair putting pave to their winning chances. James McDonald gets legged aboard from gate three this time around, and with a shade more luck when getting clear, expect Beskar to be finishing best in the Randwick opener.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#1 Beskar (3)
2yo Colt | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: James McDonald (59.5kg)
Next Best at Randwick: Flying Bandit
The Kerry Parker-trained Flying Bandit looks supremely placed in this BM94 contest after a slashing victory at Hawkesbury on April 9. The Trapeze Artist gelding looked to be trapped behind a wall of horses on that occasion, before Jay Ford navigated a passage to claim victory in the final 100m. He gets no weight (52.5kg) on his back heading into this third-up assignment, and provided Flying Bandit can get off the inside at a crucial stage, this guy should have no issues claiming back-to-back wins.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#7 Flying Bandit (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Kerry Parker | J: Jay Ford (52.5kg)
Best Value at Randwick: Wootton Verni
French import Wootton Verni poises a strong record of five wins and two minor placings across his nine starts before arriving to Australia. He caught the eye in his most recent barrier trial at Warwick Farm in April 17, suggesting the four-year-old has settled in nicely to the Chris Waller barn. He gains the services of James McDonald first-up, and although Wootton Verni may prove better as he steps out in trip, the $8.50 with horse racing bookmakers is too big to ignore as he makes his Australian debut.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#10 Wootton Verni (12)
4yo Horse | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (56.5kg)
