Sydney racing selections: Randwick tips for Saturday, February 26

It’s carnival time and wouldn’t you know, the rains are in.

It’s bucketed down in Sydney town for most of the week, heavy track it is. Let’s hope the track isn’t a complete lottery.

I am going for four straight with my best bet this week, and I’ve landed on a little swimmer in the feature.

Best bet: Race 7 – 9 Colette (three units at $4)
I backed Colette first-up in the Apollo on dry. She was good chasing Think It Over there. The Randwick mile is perfect and the wetter the better. She thrives in the going.

She’s good enough these days at this level on dry. She might be unstoppable in the slop.
