Randwick August 8th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Randwick Race 8
1
Angel Capital $3.00
Angel Capital is a Group 1 winner-in-waiting.
The Harry Angel gelding was excellent during the autumn without winning, and his performance in the Everest was sublime.
The big boy is a first-up specialist, and the Chris Waller and James McDonald combination must be respected.
He tends to find trouble at the pointy end of a contest.
Ninja will have plenty of supporters after producing a stellar campaign during the summer and autumn.
The exciting four-year-old has sensational exposed form, and he finds a winnable assignment fresh from the track.
He has been well supported in most all-in markets, and I suspect he will be fully wound up for a first-up tilt.
Hard to toss.

5
Tazima $1.80
Tazima is flying at present.
The Awtaad gelding is winning for fun at present, and he meets similar opposition on Saturday.
The inside draw is advantageous, and the 1800m is in his wheelhouse.
The 56.5kg allocated weight gives him every chance to extend his winning record, and I suspect he will jump a long odds-on favourite.
Another victory beckons!
Boniface looms as a danger to the favourite.
The Make Believe gelding is edging closer to his next victory, and his current form reads well for this event.
His record at the trip must be respected, and he has been specked early doors.
Major player!
Best Roughie - Randwick Race 6
6
Durova $11.00/$3.00
Durova comes to town up and about after producing several brilliant performances on the country and provincial circuits.
This event looks harder, however, I suspect she has been trained to the minute for this assignment.
Her victory fresh at Grafton was blistering, and she deserves her shot at this level.
Acid test!
Beast Mode will go faster than last week’s pay on the bunny.
The speed machine is a 1000m specialist, and he will look the winner as they run for the doctor.
The inside draw is advantageous, and he looks well placed in this company.
The 61kg and his recent winning record are among the primary concerns.
