There is some rain around in Sydney this weekend and what better way to take advantage by finding some big priced winners at Randwick.
We’re not talking horses on the third and fourth line of betting, we are talking $20, $30, $40+ with three times the amount on the place as the win as a suggested bet.
Here are some each way chances we think are worth a punt on Saturday at Royal Randwick.
Race 3: No. 21 Firestorm
Former New Zealand filly who was transferred to the care of Chris Waller for this prep and scored an impressive win on the Kensington track over 1400m first up for the new stable.
She finished within 4.5 lengths of Molly Bloom in the Group 1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas to close out her last campaign and if she’s improved since arriving in Australia, she looks a big price in a race of this quality.
Will need one to come out to gain a start but she’s drawn well in barrier six and Craig Williams will steer.
Race 7: No. 3 Mazu
The connections of this Group 1 winner decided a change of scenery was necessary and the now five-year-old gelding was sent to Joe Pride for this campaign.
He was really well supported when resuming over 1000m in the Challenge Stakes and he was excellent when beaten just over a length over an unsuitable distance.
Four of his six career wins have come on a heavy track and he’s missed a place just once at this track and distance.
A huge price for such a quality horse and is worth a small play especially if the heavens open up!
Race 8: No. 17 Semana
The All-Star Mile could take a leaf out of the book of the Doncaster as you can see what a handicap race can produce with a stellar field established for the great race.
All of Semana’s runs this campaign have been spaced out and she is yet to miss a place in four trips to the races including a narrow defeat to Zougotcha in the Coolmore.
She meets that mare much better at the weights in this contest and she has two wins from three goes on a heavy track.
She has a tricky gate to overcome but will luck in running, and just 50kg on her back she has to be a chance at an enormous price.
Race 10: No. 18 Unique Ambition
Was no match for them at Group level during her last campaign but was beaten only 6.7 lengths in the Group 1 Flight Stakes behind Tropical Squall.
She couldn’t have been much more impressive when breaking her maiden at Newcastle first up over 1200m, forging clear of her rivals to win by 2.5 lengths.
All three of her placings have been on a soft track so the sting out only helps her and although she has a tricky gate to overcome, she represents great each way value in an open race to close out the day.
