No. 1 Boggy Randwick

"The rain hit hard midweek and you can bet there will be a HEAVY track and OFF RAILS bias on Saturday. That suits horses like MAJOR MAJOR (Race 2), BRING LUCK (Race 7) and TREE OF JESSE (Race 8) nicely. Don't be surprised if some roughies get up too!"

Bet on TREE OF JESSE now at $12

No. 2 Gunning for Avdulla

"With James McDonald overseas and Hugh Bowman suspended, Brenton 'The Gun' Avdulla stands out as the leading Sydney jockey this weekend. As of Thursday he's won four out of his last seven rides and can make the difference on a horse like DUBAIINSTYLE on Saturday."

Bet on DUBAIINSTYLE now at $9

No. 3 Hong Kong Connection

"The topweights in Race 7 at Flemington bring some international class to a mid-winter card. Both come from stints in Hong Kong, DIBAYANI once running 3rd to the star Able Friend over 1,600 metres, while SMART VOLATILITY finished 7th to the same galloper over 1,200 metres a few months later. They both have the class to win at good odds."

Bet on SMART VOLATILITY now at $7.5

No. 4 Superior Snowdens

"If any stable can take on the Sydney dominance of the Waller machine it's Peter and Paul Snowden. They continue to build momentum and have the favourites in the two feature races at Randwick on Saturday. MEDITERRANEAN and CAPITALIST will be very hard to beat."

Bet on MEDITERRANEAN now at $2.25

No. 5 Sydney Switch

"There's a few gallopers switching from Sydney to Melbourne this weekend. Waller has a couple fresh, John Sargent brings SMART VOLATILITY down and the Snowden's have three-year-old DECORATED SOLDIER. The latter is well placed and has firmed in markets already."

Bet on DECORATED SOLDIER now at $4.8
