Randwick April 19th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Randwick Race 4
1
Clean Energy $2.50
The classy Clean Energy covered more ground than the early settlers at her latest outing.
It wasn’t Ryan Moore’s best ride, and the punters who took the short odds were left scratching their heads.
Sunlight’s little sister has further improvement to come for the preparation, and the step out to 1400m looks ideal at this stage of her preparation.
The inside draw is advantageous, and if the flood of early money continues, I suspect she will jump in the red.
Hard to toss!
Lilac is racing well without winning.
The Justify filly is knocking on the door, and she looks well placed in this company.
Barrier one should allow her to roll forward and pilot the field, and the key appointment of James McDonald speaks volumes.
Too consistent to pot!

2
Briasa $3.50
Briasa is flying!
The Smart Missile gelding tasted Group 1 success at his latest outing, and his camp are very bullish about his future and his ability.
The raw four-year-old will eat up every inch of the 1400m on Saturday, and the inside draw puts one hoof on the till.
Watch for the big boy late!
Broadsiding was a resilient winner of the Rosehill Guineas.
The Too Darn Hot colt was a sitting duck late, and I suspect his supporters closed their eyes during the concluding stages of the event.
The brilliant three-year-old has been freshened since, and his recent jump outs have been first-class.
The drop back in distance is the primary concern.

Age Of Kings $61.00/$12.00
Age Of Kings can run a drum at a huge price.
The Kingman gelding rubbed shoulders with some serious horses during the spring, and his recent jump outs were intriguing.
The form around him has stood up time and again, and he finds his favourite distance fresh.
The consistent five-year-old flys first-up, and he is ideally drawn in a middle gate.
If the camp have him ready for a fresh tilt, he will make his presence felt in the shadows.
Over the odds!
Dragonstone was good without winning at his latest outing.
His run two starts back in the Group 1 Galaxy was a beauty, and I suspect he will appreciate meeting easier opposition on Saturday.
The versatile six-year-old has the fitness edge on the majority of his rivals, and he is simply too classy to pot.
He will be thereabouts with even luck in-transit.
