Not the ideal race - Happy Clapper might have to contend with a steady tempo and wet track

Markets are open for the Group racing at Randwick and Moonee Valley this weekend and we've found four opening trades. 

Rain is forecast both Friday and Saturday in Sydney so make sure you factor it in to all your bets. A testing Randwick takes a certain type of horse to win, unless you are WINX of course, who would still beat them running uphill towing Waller's BMW!

Chelmsford Stakes

BUY WINX at $1.12

"Stick her in all your all-ups and cheer the champ home. It's rare to see a horse with so much talent that is absolutely bombproof. Unbeatable."

Dati' Tan Chin Nam Stakes

BUY SET SQUARE $19 and JAMEKA $7.5

"Reading the Guide for this race sends you around in circles! With THE CLEANER engaged you know there will be pressure which suits both SET SQUARE and JAMEKA, mares with a big finishing surge over the mile. Stick with them after a strong first-up run."

Tramway Stakes

SELL HAPPY CLAPPER at $4.8

"He's a big galloper with a big surge and low sprint, which means the possible steady tempo is a risk, not to mention the wet. Far from an ideal race set-up."

Concorde Stakes

BUY SMART VOLATILITY at $23

"Poor last start at Flemington, but his first-up run was OK at Randwick when paired with INZ'N'OUT the whole way before a strong win at Grafton. Simply one of the best sprinters in the race at big odds... if you can forgive him one run."
