The Battler's Big Value

Published: 09 Jan 2015

A quiet day - Small fields are the theme of the day at Royal Randwick

The Race Guide's Bookie Battler has a candid look at today's Royal Randwick card. Only 63 acceptances line up in what is a disappointing turn-out for the ATC.

Bookie Battler's Preview

"There were more ponies on Waller's training track this morning than there are at Randwick today. It looks like the race club organised a party and no-one turned up!

The winners still pay the same and what better way to send race-caller Matty Hill off in style than a big collect - he's even tipped one of my roughies."

Race 4 - Number 1 Timeless Prince $6

"A true battler. I've lost a bit of cash on him at Rosey, but reckon he likes it here better. I'm on."

"True battler" - The little galloper Timeless Prince always gives his all

Race 5 - Number 7 Il Mio Destino $16

"Love a light-weight leader that you know is going to give it some gas. Even Taylor can't stuff this up. I'm on with Matty Hill." 

Strong leader - Il Mio Destino will roll forward and try hard

Race 7 - Number 8 Floral Insight $17

"This race isn't that special and this old bloke will make them work. The odds are way overs." 

Country speedster - Floral Insight is good enough to surprise

Race 8 - Number 6 Nadacheva $31 & Number 7 Sasenkile $26

 "OK, picking two is a bit sneaky, but these two are monster odds. Reckon they can show up after unlucky runs that must have snuck under the radar."

"Monster odds" - Nadacheva is set to improve at a big price
