Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 29 Journalists Share Posted January 29 What Kensington Races Where Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031 When Wednesday, January 31, 2024 First Race 2:20pm AEDT Visit Dabble Metro racing heads to the Kensington circuit at Randwick on Wednesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program set for decision. The rail moves out +3m the entire circuit, and with some scattered showers predicted in the lead-up, punters should be weary of a possible downgrade to a Soft 5 rating. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 2:20pm AEDT. Best Bet at Randwick-Kensington: Morning Sun Morning Sun produced a very promising Australian debut for the Annabel Nesham barn and only found one better in the form of Age Of Sail at Warwick Farm on January 10. The European import swung wide turning for home, while the eventual winner got favours on the inside running rail, holding off Morning Sun by less than a half-length on the wire. That was over 1600m, and with his best form suggesting the 1800m shouldn’t be a problem for this lightly raced son of Muhaarar, we simply must be with Morning Sun second-up. Best Bet Race 5 – #1 Morning Sun (6) 5yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Jett Stanley (a2kg) (62kg) +200 with Bet365 Next Best at Randwick-Kensington: Ironton Ironton makes his debut on Wednesday afternoon and appears ready to fire first-up for the Hawkes team. The son of Lope De Vega has two eye-catching barrier trials, with the latest at Rosehill on January 11 showing plenty of potential. He was untested while cruising into a fourth-place finish in the jump-out, stretching out comfortably over the 900m under Jay Ford. Zac Lloyd is lucky enough to get the nod for race-day, and with the 1250m showing intent on debut, we’re confident Ironton is wound-up to be figuring in this maiden contest. Next Best Race 4 – #5 Ironton (7) 3yo Colt | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Zac Lloyd (58kg) +380 with Neds Next Best Again at Randwick-Kensington: Hanau Hanau was a classy maiden winner in his most recent start at Newcastle on January 11 and looks set to go on with the job. The half-length margin may not seem impressive on paper; however, the gelding by Snitzel put them away nicely when stalking his rivals down the centre of the course. The biggest negative for Hanau is getting too far back on the Kensington circuit from gate 11, but provided we get a fair track on Wednesday afternoon, this guy is sure to be putting in the big strides late in the Randwick finale. Next Best Again Race 7 – #5 Hanau (11) 3yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (58.5kg) +340 with Unibet Kensington Wednesday quaddie tips – 31/1/2024 Randwick-Kensington quadrella selections Wednesday, January 31, 2024 1-3-5-10 1-2-3 1-2-4-5 2-4-5-6 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
