It’s had a build up like no other race and finally, the $13 Million TAB Everest (1200m) comes around this Saturday at Randwick, with a crack field of 12 lining up in the feature on a brilliant ten race card. Here are my five plays across the meeting.
Bet One – Each Way – Race Two Number 14 Ave
I think the present figures represents good value. The Ryan stable train this mare, who resumed at Dubbo over 1300m, which was an ask, but she produced one of the runs of the day for mine when second to Eyesaw, running some outstanding late splits.
She has a very good record on rain-affected tracks and the extra 100m looks ideal for her. Just needs clear air to build the revs.
Bet Two – Win – Race Five Number 5 Victorem
If this was on a dry track, he’d be a moral. Happy to be with him on wet ground all the same. He’s the most brilliant horse in this race and if it was on top of the ground, he’d be a good thing. The wet track brings him back to the field somewhat but his two race day appearances on wet ground, he’s handled it confidently.
Trials leading in have been great and from all reports, he has come back enormous and is ready to rock and roll. $4+ is acceptable.
Bet Three – Each Way – Race Race Six Number 8 Burning Passion
Gee, he seems a silly price. Mark Newnham trains this bloke, who is first up here and I reckon he’s been given the grounding to run well fresh. The most recent trial behind Kaepernick to the eye was awful but bear in mind he didn’t have the blinkers on and he’s a different beast with them on.
$26 seems a good price to have something on each way.
Bet Four – Each Way – Race Seven Number 10 Shoals
I reckon if this was any other race, she’d be a clear favourite. This mare just looks primed to run well. Loved her resumption in the McEwen before going to the Premiere where she beat all bar stablemate Santa Ana Lane.
She thrives on wet ground and the four times at Group l level for three wins and a second. I’m happy to be in her corner.
Bet Five – Win – Race Nine Number 12 Egg Tart
With the wet track, she looks the bet of the day. Was all over her last time in the Hill Stakes but unfortunately, the track dried right out, it was a rock hard surface and she couldn’t finish it off when third to Ace High.
She gets back onto a wet track now, hard fit, in form, and she gets her chance. She’ll be backed with confidence I suspect.
