$50,000 up for grabs with bet365's Pick 6 Challenge
Leading bookmaker bet365 are again putting $50,000 on the line for any logged-in member who correctly selects the winners of six specified races across the Doomben, Caulfield and Randwick cards this weekend. There are also consolation prize pools of $10,000 to be split amongst those who tip five winners and $5,000 for those who 'only' pick four.
The six featured races are outlined below with the R&S team providing pre-race previews to give you a head start on the form.
Doomben Race 7 - Eureka Stud Class 3 Plate @ 3.32pm - 1350m
Warby (10) is a half-brother to G1 winner and stallion Captivant and has been right there in all four runs this preparation. Has saluted over this track and trip and gets Duric back on to navigate from the sticky draw. Doesn't want it Heavy but should play a major role in the outcome with any luck in running. Atmosphere (1) returned in winning order and Jones stays in the irons. Strips fitter second-up and deserves serious respect. Brosnan (16) has placed at Group 1 level in a past life and may run a race while fresh. Deep Respect (13) has won over this course and distance and will be at his peak now. In the mix. Ivan's Hero (4) will find this easier than recent outings and may earn some minor money.
Caulfield Race 7 - Get On Extra Handicap @ 3.40pm - 1100m
Tough race. Marble Nine (10) is a progressive type who was good in second behind subsequent listed winner Right To Party two back at Flemington before an even effort there last time behind a smart one in The Black Cloud. Like him from the draw around a bend. Major Share (6) is unbeaten in three starts, scoring comfortably as a $1.30 favourite last start at Bendigo. More depth here but is on the up. Gitalong (1) resumed with a good run at this track over 1000m and will be fitter. Oak Hill (3) was a bit disappointing behind The Black Cloud last time but did win two in a row prior and can improve.
Randwick Race 9 - Toyota Forklifts Handicap @ 4.00pm - 1800m
Bear On The Loose (9) imported gelding who was backed off the map at his first Australian outing when a tough on-pace winner over this trip at Rosehill on June 29. Building a solid win record and expected to go through his grades quickly. Can win again despite drawing out. Time Quest (17) starting to hit his straps this time in and indicated he was close to his top after powering late when fourth behind Bear On The Loose at latest. Drops sharply in weight and has the ability to turn the tables if he gains a start. Amberite (8) Mornington-trained stayer who relished the heavy (8) going when came out hard from the wide gate to hold on for a tough nose win over 1800m at Rosehill on June 29. Worth noting his time was slower than Bear On The Loose. Aramco (11) lightly raced stayer given plenty of time to develop. Looks set for a good prep after running on late when fifth over 1500m at Rosehill on June 29. Comes to hand quickly and gets the cross-over nose band added.
Doomben Race 8 - XXXX Benchmark 85 Handicap @ 4.08pm - 1600m
Madame Odette (15) has placed two from two over this track and trip and looks to be nearing another victory following a close-up second at Ipswich at the latest effort. Gets Thornton in the stirrups now and should be ready third-up from the break. Can go one better. Rising Pacific (13) has won over this track and trip and is drawn to slot in nicely from gate four. A big run would not surprise. Cinque Torri (9) absolutely smashed them at the Gold Coast and will be high on confidence following that seven-length romp. Hard to discount. Former Kiwi Devastate (3) is having his first run for the Gollan stable and any market confidence should be noted. Tidal Creek (5) saves his best form for this course and distance and may trouble the judge second-up.
Caulfield Race 8 - Sir John Monash Stakes @ 4.15pm - 1100m
Small field for the feature. Recommendation (2) resumes and ran some very credible races last time in. He won a listed race in Sydney and then came to Melbourne and ran third to Veight in the G2 Australia Stakes. 1100m looks his sweet spot and he should take plenty of catching. Mornington Glory (3) made great strides last preparation, winning a couple of nice benchmark races before two excellent runs at Group level, third in the Oakleigh Plate before a spell the highlight. Will take beating. Mrs Chrissie (5) is the fit horse who is racing well. Not suited at weight for age but she's quick and will be hard to catch. Ashford Street (1) was just fair last time but is right in the mix on best form. Party For Two (7) can run well down from Queensland.
Randwick Race 10 - Schweizer Kobras Lawyers Handicap @ 4.35pm - 1000m
Gitalong (6) promising Zoustar gelding who returned in good order from the wide gate when a tough on-pace second over 1000m at Caulfield on June 29. Goes just as well second-up and can sit just off the hot tempo and pounce late. Dipsy Doodle (7) trainer and jockey combo are on fire at present and worth noting the filly goes much better second-up. Comes out of a strong form race after fading to finish sixth over 1100m at Warwick Farm on June 26. Genuine contender despite drawing out. The Escape (11) tough sprinter who jumped in grade with a sound fifth over 1100m at Rosehill on June 29. Fitter now and can play a leading role in this stronger assignment. Plundering (2) is hard to catch on his day and his best performances are normally early in the prep. Charged late in his recent 740m Randwick trial and can flash late with the solid tempo.
