Top 5 Early Insights

Monster odds - The Monstar finds a suitable race at Royal Randwick this weekend

Dry conditions in Melbourne and plenty of rain in Sydney will keep punters busy this weekend. After over a month of dry Rosehill tracks up north, it's a great opportunity to catch the bookies out with a few at big odds.

The Analyst Team are working hard on The Race Guides, which will be on-line Friday 9am. Until then check out the Early Insights below.

No. 1 Needs to Lift Again

"FABRIZIO has proven to be such a brave tough galloper for the Waterhouse yard and he's a deserved favourite in the Group Two Villiers Stakes. Our Analysts have some concerns though after a freshen-up and one OK trial, it's hard to be confident he's got anything left in the tank."

Bet on PAJARO at $12 and RUDY at $21

No. 2 Monster Odds

"The Razor Sharp at Royal Randwick is a closely-matched race with a lot of the 'usual suspects' engaged. Looking for value might be the go and THE MONSTAR loves a wet 1200 metre sprint. There's nothing wrong with his form either!"

No. 3 No Weir or Waller?

"Betting against Melbourne's leading trainer Darren Weir and Sydney's best Chris Waller seems risky in Flemington Race 7, both horsemen bring four gallopers each to the race! Weir's favourite Gallic Chieftain will be tough to beat, but the in-form PAYROLL from the Richard Laming yard might be a better bet third-up."

No. 4 No Bar, More Drinks

"Trainer Mark Newnham is starting to get a few winners now after leaving the Gai Waterhouse team. He takes the dreaded bar plates off CARELESS this weekend and the horse could sneak a place at odds."

No. 5 Follow Her Wherever

"Tough mare HETTY HEIGHTS wasn't suited first-up on a firm Rosehill track and can improve on the weekend in wet conditions. She's accepted for Race 4 and Race 9 and she's a big chance in both!"

Bet on HETTY HEIGHTS at $11
