WESTY’S RACE PREVIEW
Royal Randwick – 13/04/2019
Royal Randwick Race 5
A huge day of racing, can’t wait. Get the feeling we will never forget it. Will be hard to find a winner, but the 3YO sprint has decent enough data quality, so we will have a crack at a wide open race. Average pace and no obvious fight for the lead. Data suggests that there will be many wanting to make a run after turning, which might force a jostle to get off the fence, or an earlier kick for home. You never know what that will do. Probably better to trust the better jockeys in a race like this, but will need to see what the track is doing. Enjoy the day.
| NO | NAME | Comment |
| 1 | Zousain | Ideal draw at this trip with his racing style. J Mac a plus and should get a nice even transit and chance to hit the line. |
| 2 | Encryption | Top stable and top rider, he should fall out the back from the gate to avoid the mess. Will take off 400 out and will make it exciting. |
| 3 | Lean Mean Machine | Data says he won’t want to jump and won’t like the whip. |
| 4 | Charge | Waller runner that should get out well into a good spot. Has a decent turn of foot, but may find it hard to match it with the classier backmarkers. |
| 5 | Legend Of Condor | Drawn well but is likely to fall out the back and will struggle to make it up. |
| 6 | Jonker | Should get out well and get some good TV time. Decent enough turn of foot but data says it won’t be enough for the stronger backmarkers. |
| 7 | Classique Legend | Drawn perfectly for this race and should take up the running and has the record at Randwick to see this out. Even run to be in the finish. |
| 8 | Baller | A lot of hype for this guy but might find this tough. Should get himself into a good spot and be prominent until later in the race. |
| 9 | Sheriff | Top rider and should get a nice sit just off the speed. Strong turn of foot and should give a shout. Value runner of the race. |
| 10 | Trope | Lightly raced backmarker with a lightning turn of foot. Hard to know what this class will do to him, but that’s what the Hawkes boys do. |
| 11 | Avantage | A decent sprinter from a smaller yard, should fly the gate and maintain a solid pace to the line. In the finish. |
| 12 | Spanish Whisper | She always gets out into a good spot but might not have the kick to trouble the podium in this race. Question on the backup. |
| 13 | Prophet’s Thumb | Data says she will start slow but will give an honest outing with a steady speed to the line. Question on this class. |
| 14 | Causeway Girl | Data says she will fall out at the back early and should find some speed at the turn. Might struggle late but still, value. |
