Randwick September 4th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 10
13
Atishu $2.8
Atishu delivered an authoritative victory on her Australia debut when showing a dynamic turn of foot.
She settled just off the pace when racing over 1400 metres in BM-88 grade and launched at the line to win by just under two lengths.
The victory made it five wins on the bounce for this mare who franked her New Zealand form line.
Looks as though the wetter the better for her having had three wins and three minor placings from the six starts he has had on soft-rated tracks.
Should improve again from a fitness point of view and rises to 1600 metres which looks ideal for her.
Next Best - Race 5
1
Nature Strip $1.55
He might be odds-on here and having to carry 60.5kgs, but Nature Strip will not get a better race to improve on his near 50% winning strike rate.
The seven-year-old gelding showed no signs of slowing down in his six-and-a-half length trial win over 900 metres.
Completely doubt anything will attempt to take him and James McDonald can dictate the speed at which this race is run.
The speed demon will be back with a vengeance.
Best Roughie - Race 7
5
Star Of The Seas $11/$2.9
The predicted rain is going to suit Star Of The Seas perfectly in this race.
He boasts three wins and a place from five starts on a heavy track and gets the all important jockey change going from Jay Ford to Hugh Bowman.
Barrier five is exactly what trainer Chris Waller would have wanted and this horse can play a stalking role on the leaders.
The wetter the better for this sharp seven-year-old gelding.

If this was Zaaki over 1600 metres, we would take him one out and gain our higher percentage that way.
But over 1400 metres he is an unknown commodity on Australia soil and as such we are going to include our best roughie of the day. .
