Zavite on target for Sydney Cup 2010
It's hard to fault the progress of Auckland Cup winner Zavite to take the Sydney Cup. Zavite is a proven two-miler in Zavite and has won twice at 3200m, in last year's Adelaide Cup and the Auckland Cup just recently. Others on form to consider include No Wine No Song and perhaps even Jessicabeel. No Wine No Song has had just six starts since his 2008 Sydney Cup triumph with his running career derailed by two tendon injuries to different legs. Despite the setbacks he has been racing and finishing...
All Aged Stakes 2010
The last of the Group 1 races on Saturday at Randwick is the All Aged Stakes run over 1400m. The favourite has to be Melito. She won the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes over 1200m and looked like she had plenty left at the end. So Melito is the one to punt for a win. Placegetters include Danleigh and Demerit and maybe even Hot Danish or Mic Mac. To bet on the All Aged Stakes click here.
Betting on the Sydney Cup 2010
For those seeking a Sydney Cup winner we suggest Zavite to take it by an inch from Jessicabeel. For those seeking for placegetters, try Jesicabeel or Harris Tweed. A trifecta with Zavite, Jessicabeel and Harris Tweed could be the bet of the day!
The Queen Elizabeth Stakes
The 2nd of the Group 1 features at Randwick on Saturday is the Queen Elizabeth Stakes. The top rated horse here is Vosne Romanee. This New Zealand horse is a triple G1 winner and is a proven 2000m Group 1 horse in this field. Other contenders include Monaco Consul, Doctor Fremantle and Rangirangdoo. If you're looking for a placegetter Vosne Romanee looks the sure one. Click here.
Champagne Stakes 2010
The 3rd leg of the 2yo triple crown takes place on Saturday and is offering very good value for punters! The overall depth of the field on Champagne Stakes is below Group 1 quality and Beneteau looks suited to the 1600m run. Beneteau missed the 2nd leg of the triple crown in preference for Champagne Stakes after finishing 5th in the Golden Slipper. If you fancy a Trifecta here's our pick: Beneteau, Sasa, Yosei.
