Royal Randwick August 22nd, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Randwick Race 9

Autumn Glow $1.90
Autumn Glow resumes after producing a near-perfect autumn campaign.
The Autumn Sun mare had her colours lowered by the world-class Sir Delius; however, she lost no admirers.
Her trials leading into this event have been bomb proof, and she looks suited over the journey first-up from a spell.
Her versatility alone makes her star, and her will to win is exceptional.
Hard to toss!
Sheza Alibi has an air of expectation surrounding her.
The Saxon Warrior mare won the Doncaster in a canter, and I expect her to reach dizzy heights during the spring.
Her turn of foot is significant, and the camp have made scary comparisons to the undefeated and unparalleled Black Caviar.
I’d prefer to support her case deeper into her campaign over further.

Campione D'Italia $4.00
Campione D’Italia was a revelation during the autumn.
The Snitzel colt destroyed his rivals in the Group 1 Sires Produce, and he was only beaten a lip in the Champagne.
The big boy oozes class, and I suspect the camp have him aimed at some time-honoured classics during the spring.
The assignment on Saturday looks tricky against the older horses, however, he could be an absolute superstar!
Acid test!
Matcha Latte is the major danger to the favourite.
The Maurice gelding is a seasoned campaigner, and the exposed form around him reads well for this event.
He will be savaging the line late, and if the leaders spend their tickets early, he can nab them in the shadows.
His racing pattern and style always requires an element of good fortune.

By Choice $15.00/$4.00
By Choice is over the odds.
The Written By Filly is ultra-consistent, and I suspect she will be fully wound-up for a first-up tilt.
Her recent jump-outs have been forward, and she will look the winner as they run for the doctor.
She has been specked at a price, and she looks extremely well placed.
Pembrey will have plenty of supporters after producing a stellar debut campaign.
The Prague filly meets easier opposition on Saturday, and she turned heads recently at the barrier trials.
The James McDonald factor will play a role, and the Gollan camp is flying high at present.
A must for all broader multiples and exotics.
QUADDIE
Q
$150 for 100%
We have a handful of gallopers flying the flag in the opening leg of the quaddie, the Silver Shadow Stakes.
Matcha Latte and Camp D’Italia can battle it out in the Show County Qlty, while Autumn Glow can return a winner in the Group 1 Winx Stakes.
It’s a field job in the final event on the program.
Best of luck!
