Sydney Specials: Randwick – August 22

3 minute read

Fell Swoop will take a powering of beating early in the program at Randwick on Saturday.

The Matthew Dale-trained gelding was hugely impressive over 1100m at Rosehill last start, travelling wide before putting three lengths on his nearest rivals.

Three weeks later Fell Swoop can do something similar in the Tab Rewards Benchmark 85 Handicap (1000m).

Fell Swoop rates clear on top amongst the ten horse field after his latest success.

He is drawn to receive all of the favours behind the anticipated lead from barrier 2 and should be recording consecutive wins.

The four-year-old can help build upon an already impressive start to the season for the Matthew Dale stable who has missed out on a Top 3 finish just twice from 15 starters so far this season.

Fell Swoop is by Not A Single Doubt with Matt Dale the King of the Not A Single Doubts.

Dale has enjoyed 40 wins at 25% courtesy of the stallions progeny which is the most of any trainer.

He also boasts the most individual Not A Single Doubt winners of any trainer with 9.

Simply put, the man has an affinity with the breed and can again showcase that on Saturday with Fell Swoop in Race 3.

Another who can continue on with his winning form is Boss Lane in the Group 3 Show County Quality (1200m).

The Ron Quinton-trained gelding has commenced his latest campaign with consecutive wins at Canterbury and last start at this course over 1000m.

A fortnight later he rises to 1200m third run from a spell and shapes as being hard to beat.

From barrier 3, Boss Lane should be prominent throughout alongside other key players such as Countryman and Vashka.

Boss Lane is arguably the runner best suited of the trio in this affair and yet is the third elect at present in markets on Friday morning.

The Ron Quinton stable possesses an 11% profit on turnover at Randwick and a 14% profit on turnover in partnership with Tim Clark.

On Saturday, Ron Quinton at Randwick with Tim Clark in the saddle, Boss Lane looks the way to go.
