Randwick March 1st, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Randwick Race 7
1
Lady Shenandoah $1.60
Lady Shenandoah has the world at her feet!
The Snitzel filly was ultra-impressive fresh and looks well placed in this company.
The step-out in trip is advantageous, and the inside draw makes her incredibly hard to beat.
If James McDonald can pilot the short-priced commodity off the dulex as they run for the doctor, I expect her to prove too strong.
Group 1 glory awaits!
More Territories can run a drum at cricket score odds.
The Territories filly was good first-up against the older and more experienced males, and I suspect she will appreciate dropping back against her own age and sex.
She has a sharp turn of foot, and if the favourite has an off day or experiences traffic issues, she can cause a major boilover.

Via Sistina $2.00
Via Sistina was a hard watch for supporters first-up.
The muddling tempo didn’t suit the world-class mare, and she never looked comfortable in the run.
The rising eight-year-old traditionally motors second-up, and the step out in trip plays into her favour.
The key appointment of James McDonald will attract further market support, and with even luck in transit, I expect her to blouse her opponents in the shadows.
The tricky gate is the primary concern.
Fangirl won the Apollo Stakes with a leg in the air.
The Sebring mare had the conditions to suit, and it was a perfect ride from Jason Collett.
Her second-up record must be respected, and she loves a Randwick mile more than Tommy Smith.
Hard to toss again!
Best Roughie - Randwick Race 10

Father's Day $9.00/$3.00
Father’s Day is ready to win.
The Galileo gelding was good first-up on top of a hot tempo, and the step out to 2000m is ideal at this stage of his campaign.
The consistent seven-year-old will roll forward and give them something the catch, and if he is allowed to control the clock throughout, he may prove hard to run down.
The big boy is ideally drawn, and I suspect the handicapper has missed him with the allocated feather on his back.
Great each-way value!
Kings Valley will have supporters after a lengthy and successful campaign.
The Territories gelding was beaten by a smart one at Flemington at his latest outing, and the form out of the race has already stood up several times.
He looks well placed in this company and is a must for all broader multiples and exotics.

Lady Shenandoah has one hoof on the till in the Group 1 Surround Stakes.
She won the Light Fingers first-up in a canter and meets a similar field here.
Via Sistina can turn the tables on Fangirl second-up in the Group 1 Verry Elleegant Stakes, while it’s a very open edition of the Liverpool City Cup.
Nothing would surprise in the lucky last!
