Top 5 Early Insights

Talking up her chances - Gai's Global Glamour is one of her best hopes at Randwick on Saturday

Carnival racing is competitive racing and the big fields make for intriguing form reading ahead of the weekend. There's plenty of value across both the Randwick and Moonee Valley cards on what looks like a great day for punters if you keep a close eye on the changing conditions.

Ahead of The Race Guides going on-line Friday at 9am, The Analyst Team's Top 5 Insights below will give you the early edge.

No. 1 Storm's 'a Comin

"The Sydney weather forecast isn't looking too flash, 30mm to 40mm of rain forecast on Friday with the wet weather clearing Saturday morning. That could leave us with a HEAVY track and possible NEAR RAILS bias with the rail +6 metres."

No. 2 Fighting Filly

"If the rain does hit Sydney, expect the 1,200 metre Furious Stakes to be as much about stamina as it is about speed for the young three-year-old fillies. Waterhouse's GLOBAL GLAMOUR won her Maiden by 6.3 lengths on a Heavy 9. She's one tough girl."

No. 3 Number One Again?

"BURNING PASSION has been racing in great form this prep for James Cummings, the young trainer keeping him fresh and finding some suitable wet tracks. He's drawn barrier one and the rain is coming. Both bias and conditions could be ideal!"

No. 4 Weir's Voodoo

"The master Melbourne trainer Darren Weir gives a boost to most horses he gets in his stable. Ex-NSW Sprinter VOODOO LAD is the perfect example, shooting up many lengths in the ratings and still getting better. Hard to beat again at The Valley."

No. 5 Hayes, Dabernig & Dibayani

"David Hayes and Tom Dabernig got the 'non-winner' DIBIYANI in their stables from Hong Kong in 2015 and he's been a project ever since. They've picked out the Tramway Stakes second-up under very favourable handicap conditions to try and get an elusive third victory from 23 starts. Given he's run a place to Group One champions LEADING LIGHT, ABLE FRIEND and WINX second-up before, Saturday could well be his day!"
