Top 5 Early Insights @ Royal Randwick

Published: 05 Mar 2015

Better on firmer ground? - Shooting To Win will be hard to beat in the Guineas

The full Race Guides for Group One Guineas Day at Royal Randwick will be on-line Friday at 8am, including Form, Comments and The Race Guide's Profiler for each galloper.

Getting the edge is what it is all about, helping you to know if your horse is the right one for the conditions on the day.

Until then, The Race Guide's Analyst team have listed their Top 5 Early Insights.

1 - Broke Their Hearts

Chasing HEADWATER broke the hearts of Ottoman and Paceman last start, two gallopers that had big booms on them before the race. There's no better sign of a horse's talent than that.

He's going to be very hard to beat in Race 2.

Much too strong - Headwater has won easily in both his starts

2 - Southern Sprinters

A turn-of-foot can make all the difference in the sprint races and souther raiders GRIANTE and I LOVE IT are blessed with more acceleration than most.

If the tempo isn't too strong, they can skip home and get the prize in Race 3.

Speedy girl - Griante can produce a good sprint finish

3 - There's Better Places Than Home

The super consistent BLACK JAG lines up in Race 4. He's a tough type that often struggles to find his very best on the flat and fast surface of his home track Rosehill.

A galloper that can find a couple of extra lengths at Royal Randwick.

Likes a tough track - Black Jag performs well at Randwick

4 - Crown At Risk?

HALLOWED CROWN isn't the biggest colt in the Randwick Guineas, but he's definitely one of the most professional.

His problem is that SHOOTING TO WIN and SWEYNESSE can improve on a firm hard track. Check the conditions before a bet in the day's feature, Race 6.

Another Group 1? - Hallowed Crown might find the Guineas a tougher ask

5 - Pocket Rocket

The speed map will come into play in Race 8, with horses like RUBICK flying from the gates. Finding the galloper that can get the right trail behind the speed might be the trick to finding some value.

MIRACLES OF LIFE from barrier 1 is hard to go past.
