Taking on the Bookies @ Royal Randwick

Published: 02 Oct 2015

Aiming up at the Bookies - Winx has been strongly supported to win the Epsom at Randwick

The sun is finally shining as the Spring racing season hits top gear at Royal Randwick. It's the time of year punters flood to the race tracks for a big day out, getting on their betting apps in-between trips to the bar.

Bookies will be hoping for a big result, but it's not your usual Carnival day with lots of chances. There are four horses in the middle of the card that are making the 'satchel-swingers' sweat.

As the races get closer and the big money starts rolling in, The Race Guide's Analyst Team looks at the ticking time-bomb that is Races 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Race 4 - EXOSPHERE in the Roman Consul Stakes

Odds: $1.50 with CrownBet
Verdict: SAVE YOUR $$
Comment: "Hard to beat, he's just a bit short for a horse that gets back and needs some luck. Let this one go through to the keeper."

Champion three-year-old - Exosphere peaked to win the Golden Rose last start

Race 5 - TERRAVISTA in the Premiere Stakes

Odds: $2.15 with CrownBet
Verdict: HOLD
Comment: "Very strong sprinter, but wait until the mounting yard before a bet. He'll need to be fit to win first-up over 1,200 metres at Randwick."

Brute force - Terravista is one of the most powerful sprinters in the country

Race 6 - COMPLACENT in the Craven Plate

Odds: $2.10 with CrownBet
Verdict: BET NOW
Comment: "He beat Kermadec, then had no luck last start. Add to the mix he is the only leader in the race and you've got a very strong case to get on."

Rock solid - Complacent will roll to the front and be very hard to run down

Race 7 - WINX in the Epsom

Odds: $3 with CrownBet
Verdict: HOLD
Comment: "She's the one that could be a superstar, a mare that produces a finishing burst that has to be seen to be believed. Make sure horses can make ground out wide before getting on."

Races 5, 6 and 7 - WIN ALL-UP

Odds: $13.5 with CrownBet
Verdict: BET NOW
Comment: "If the favourites start winning, expect the odds to roll in for COMPLACENT and WINX. Decent odds for a three-horse all-up."

Races 5, 6 and 7 - PLACE ALL-UP

Odds: $1.90 with CrownBet
Verdict: SAVE YOUR $$
Comment: "Favourites aren't often good odds for a place, if they get beaten it's often due to bad luck that sees them finish back in the pack."
