Randwick October 19th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Randwick Race 9

Pride Of Jenni $2.00
Pride Of Jenni will lead the field a merry dance over the mile.
The 2023/2024 Australian Racehorse of the Year was back to her brilliant best in the Group 2 Feehan Stakes at her last outing, and I suspect she still has plenty of improvement to come for the preparation.
The Pride Of Dubai mare traditionally improves deeper into her preparation, and if she finds the front uncontested on Saturday, the race could be over before patrons return to their seats.
Fangirl is the likely danger to the hot pot.
Her last-start victory was supreme, and she is on track to defend her title.
The inside draw will allow her to sit closer in the run, and if the favourite has an off day, she will add another Group 1 to her incredible career record.
I fear she will be the one left to do the all the donkey work throughout.
Next Best - Randwick Race 7

Sunshine In Paris $10.00
Sunshine In Paris is ready to explode.
Her first-up win in the Group 2 Sheraco was breathtaking, and she has produced an ominous barrier trial since.
The Invader mare burns the turf fresh, and I suspect the camp has her cherry ripe for her career-defining moment.
From barrier eight, she will sit midfield with cover, and if she can produce her customary turn of foot when presented, she will figure in the finish.
Stefi Magnetica turned heads first-up in the Group 2 Shorts.
The Group 1 Stradbroke winner sprouted wings late, and she put the writing on the wall for a tilt-up the greatest mountain of them all.
The All Too Hard mare will be suited by the step out in trip, and she traditionally performs well second-up.
The middle gate is advantageous, she looks to have more progression the majority of the field.
She will be there when the whips are cracking.
Best Roughie - Randwick Race 6

Airman $14.00/$4.00
Airman is over the odds!
The I Am Invincible gelding beat several Everest hopefuls at his latest outing, and he looks well placed in this company.
The enigmatic five-year-old is a 1200m specialist, and he looks perfectly drawn in barrier four.
Zac Lloyd can have the big boy occupy box-seat throughout, and if he sees daylight as the field climb over the famous Randwick rise at the 400m mark, I expect him to fight out the finish.
Overpass is too consistent to pot.
The Vancouver gelding arguably should be lining up in the Everest, and he looks the class runner here.
He flies fresh, and his recent barrier trial victories were first-class.
If he can find the bunny early, he will look the winner as they run for the doctor.
