Top 5 Early Insights @ Sydney Racing
Published: 31 Dec 2015
1 - No Hungover Betting!
The Tatt's Club Cup on New Year's Day is a very tricky race with the top contenders from the Xmas Cup a couple of weeks ago going around again.
If you want to take a profit out of an evenly-matched race, concentrating on factors like track bias and the way the horses parade will pay dividends.
Have a coffee to sharpen yourself up before the race after New Year's Eve, a smart bet is needed!
The Bet - Wait until race day to check track bias and the yard
Not much between them - Sir John Hawkwood takes out the Xmas Cup.. just!
2 - New Year's Kiss
Lots of horses enjoy Royal Randwick more than other tracks, SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD in the Tatt's Club Cup is one of them.
Another likely type is the Gary Nickson trained MANDALONG KISS, who is a big-strider that enjoys stretching out down the Randwick straight.
She's good odds to relish the mile in Race 8 on New Year's Day.

Swooping mare - Mandalong Kiss has been running on like the mile would suit
3 - Tough Mountain
Race 3 at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday includes a group of horses with similar form-lines.
The very tough WUDANG MOUNTAIN couldn't sprint with the more powerful OPEN BOOK over 1,350 metres last start when the tempo was only STEADY.
A fairer speed and slightly longer distance could see the result reversed.
The Bet - $3.80 WUDANG MOUNTAIN in Rosehill Race 3 click here to take CrownBet's odds
Finds a good race - Waller has placed Wudang Mountain well this weekend
4 - Breakthrough Coming
Ron Quinton's MAGICAL STANCE has hit the line like a train in both of his starts this campaign.
The step up to 1,900 metres at Rosehill Gardens is ideal for him now. He's got a big motor and will keep charging late!
The Bet - $5.5 MAGICAL STANCE in Rosehill Race 7 click here to take CrownBet's odds
Solid and robust - Magical Stance is the type to maintain good speed down the long Rosehill straight
5 - Amazing All-up
Everyone saw the impressive first-up win of START WONDERING, a very talented horse from the Waller stable that has Group level potential.
He had to be good to catch PACEMAN last start, a Pride sprinter that has bounced back this campaign with speedy on-pace performances.
The form-line from their last race could be a strong one, making the all-up a smart bet in Races 8 and 9 at Rosehill.
The Bet - $8.6 START WONDERING and PACEMAN all-up in Rosehill Races 8 and 9 click here to take CrownBet's odds
Bet on both - Start Wondering and Paceman in an all-up is a good way to bet
