Top 5 Early Insights

Published: 18 Aug 2016

Big entertainment - Mr Entertainer is a value chance in Race 1 on the day champion mare Winx returns to the track

With sunnier weather in Sydney this week hopefully we'll be spared the wicked leaders bias that Randwick had a couple of weeks ago. There's some light rain forecast on Saturday morning, but it won't be anything like the HEAVY 10 on that day.

That gives the star of racing WINX the conditions to show us her best. Only six horses are lining up against her and The Analyst Team are expecting another procession from the great mare.

Ahead of The Race Guides tomorrow morning, check out our Early Insights below.

No. 1 Long Winning Run

"The thing about WINX that makes her so good is the ability to kick for home early and keep lifting right to the line. All Hugh Bowman needs is a bit of space 500 metres from home and he'll unleash her long winning run."

No. 2 Lay the Leaders?

"Royal Randwick was a leaders paradise two weeks ago and a few of the winners from that day line up again on the weekend. LIE DIRECT and TYCOON TARA are two that made the most of the bias. Betting around them might be smart."

No. 3 The Mac is Back

"James McDonald is back in town for the Spring Carnival and he's got a good book of rides for the Godolphin stable. Group 2 winner CALLIOPE shapes as one of his best, a horse with a win over the favourite OMEI SWORD already on her resume."

No. 4 Lightweight Longshots 

"Apprentices have been winning a stack of races this winter, their claims often making the difference on tough off-season tracks. Andrew Adkins' MR ENTERTAINER (Race 1) and Deanne Panya's IL MIO DESTINO (Race 9) coud bookend the day at big odds."

No. 5 Valley Types

"Melbourne Saturday racing is back to Moonee Valley, a track that suits certain types of horses. On-pacer ARALDO JUNIOR (race 1), stayer SWACADELIC (race 7) and speedy leader HEATHERLY(race 8) should all enjoy the tight turns."
