Randwick Saturday: Preview and tips A Set the default text size A Set large text size A Set the default text size A Set large text size
Sydney racing moves back to Randwick on Saturday.
The track is currently rated a heavy eight with no more showers predicted, so it looks likely to stay around that mark. The rail is out three metres the entire circuit.
Below are my thoughts on the program.
Race 1: 1200 metres, two-year-old handicap
Verne was a touch unlucky in defeat on debut, not having clear running until too late. That was against In The Congo, who he meets again here. He then went on to score comfortably at his second start. Gun trainer Annabelle Neasham has suggested through the week that he may have been her slipper runner if things had have panned out earlier. With a few early scratchings, he comes into barrier six at this stage, which looks sure to provide him with a good run in transit. He should be right in the finish.
