Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 18 Journalists Share Posted April 18 What All Aged Stakes Day 2024 Where Royal Randwick Racecourse – Alison Rd, Randwick NSW 2031 When Saturday, April 20, 2024 First Race 11:25am AEST Visit Dabble After two phenomenal days of racing for The Championships, Royal Randwick gets set to host its third metro meeting in as many weeks headlined by the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m). A massive 10-race program awaits punters, with the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) rounding out the triple crown series for the two-year-olds, while the undercard is littered with black-type racing throughout Saturday afternoon. The rail is out +7m between the 1000m mark to winning post, while the remainder is out +5m. The track is rated Good 4 at the time of acceptances, however, with some consistent showers anticipated in the lead-up, expect a downgrade prior to the opening event at 11:25am AEST. Race 1: BM72 Midway Handicap (1400m) Silvanito is a terrific bet to kick-off proceedings in this BM72 Midway handicap. The son of Shooting To Win was sensational first-up for the Nathan Doyle barn chasing home Commemorative at Wyong on March 20, narrowly defeated by 1.8 lengths despite a three-wide trip in transit. Koby Jennings may need to navigate a passage from the inside draw (2), but if Silvanito has the breaks fall his way, the $7 with online bookmakers seems to be a fair price. Selections: 6 SILVANITO 1 ELETTRICA 17 HELLBENT ON YOU 9 RESISTIBLE Next Best Race 1 – #6 Silvanito (2) 4yo Gelding | T: Nathan Doyle | J: Koby Jennings (59.5kg) +600 with Neds Race 2: Class 3 Highway Handicap (1400m) The Class 3 Highway handicap is one of the trickier races to dissect, however, the Lyle Chandler-trained Rapbidash warrants plenty of respect. He rounded up all but two rivals in the $1 million Country Championship Final (1400m) on April 6, striding between gallopers with limited racing room in the concluding stages. That form reads extremely well dropping back into this grade, and provided Rapbidash can peak again, this guy will be hard to hold out. Selections: 4 RAPBIDASH 3 BELVEDERE BOYS 1 TIP OF THE SPEAR 2 SHIPSHAPE Race 3: Group 3 H B Carr Stakes (1400m) The Group 3 H B Carr Stakes (1400m) is for the three-year-old fillies, where New Zealand import Scarlet Oak makes her debut for the Chris Waller barn. She broke her maiden in stylish fashion on debut at Matamata on March 13, and the daughter of Kermadec seems to have acclimatised well into her new conditions based on her eye-catching barrier trial win at Warwick Farm on April 12. Zac Lloyd takes the reins from stall one, and although she comes through weaker races, Scarlet Oak appears to have the ability to match motors with this group of fillies. Selections: 12 SCARLET OAK 4 CHICA MOJITO 2 MIRAVAL ROSE 5 FRENCH ENDEAVOUR H B Carr Stakes Race 3 – #12 Scarlet Oak (1) 3yo Filly | T: Chris Waller | J: Zac Lloyd (54kg) +450 with PlayUp Race 4: Group 3 Frank Packer Plate (2000m) Tannhauser hit the line best of the rest in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) on April 6 and should be primed for the Group 3 Frank Packer Plate (2000m). He sustained a long run when clear with 300m to travel, as the son of Dundeel attacked the line under Zac Purton. He finally draws a gate to sit prominently from barrier three, and with James McDonald hopping back aboard, if Tannhauser doesn’t win a race like this, it’s hard to picture this guy in the winners’ enclosure anytime soon. Selections: 1 TANNHAUSER 3 SALTCOATS 4 KINTYRE 8 BULLETS HIGH Frank Packer Plate Race 4 – #1 Tannhauser (3) 3yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (56.5kg) +210 with Dabble Race 5: Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes (1200m) The James Cummings-trained Vilana resumes after 133-day spell and looks prepared to go back-to-back in the Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes (1200m). He won this race first-up last year and seemingly does his best work fresh, with five starts for three wins and one minor placing to his name. His two jump-outs have caught the eye, striding out comfortably in the most recent outing at Warwick Farm on March 26. Nash Rawiller has three wins aboard the five-year-old, and a repeat of last year’s effort should be enough for Vilana to pick up career win number eight. Selections: 3 VILANA 2 AFT CABIN 7 FRONT PAGE 6 KALINO Hall Mark Stakes Race 5 – #3 Vilana (7) 5yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Nash Rawiller (58.5kg) +340 with Bet365 Race 6: Group 3 JRA Plate (2000m) Renaissance Woman represents outstanding each-way value in the Group 3 JRA Plate (2000m) on the one-week backup. She was more impressive than the 4.1-length margin may suggest in the Group 1 Queen Of The Turf (1600m) last Saturday, finding the 1600m journey too sharp to produce her electrifying best. Zac Lloyd hops in the saddle this time, and with gate four allowing Renaissance Woman to sit closer, watch this girl burst clear in the concluding stages. Selections: 8 RENAISSANCE WOMAN 12 FAWKNER PARK 7 GOLDMAN 6 NEW ENERGY JRA Plate Race 6 – #8 Renaissance Woman (4) 4yo Mare | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Zac Lloyd (55kg) +1000 with Picklebet Race 7: Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) The final leg of the two-year-old triple crown has been built as a match-race between Linebacker and Manaal, with the former narrowly getting the nod. The son of Super Seth had to work hard to remain undefeated last start in the Group 3 Baillieu (1400m) at Rosehill on March 30, knuckling down to the task to score. There’s no doubt he comes through the weaker form compared to his key rival, but with a favourable map to sit outside the leader throughout, Linebacker will give a bold sight in the 2024 Champagne Stakes. Selections: 2 LINEBACKER 7 MANAAL 3 BROADSIDING 1 ANODE Champagne Stakes Race 7 – #2 Linebacker (5) 2yo Colt | T: John O’Shea | J: Tommy Berry (56.5kg) +180 with Neds Race 8: Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) The $1.5 million Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) has attracted a quality 14-horse field, where the Chris Waller-trained Espiona holds the call as a $3.70 favourite. Sunshine In Paris has the early support backed into $4.60 on the second line of betting, while the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) winner is on the drift at $6.00. Private Eye ($8.50) has firmed from the double figures on offer early, while Chain Of Lightning ($10.00) and Encap ($15.00) are sure to gain some admirers.

Race 9: BM100 Handicap (1400m) The best value bet of the afternoon comes up in the penultimate, where the Chris Waller-trained Waterford returns after 133 days off the scene. The son of Awtaad was consistent without winning last campaign, with three minor placings across seven starts. Every race was at stakes level, however, proving to be slightly out of his depth in his second Australian prep. With a strong first-up record of (5:2-0-2), and Tommy Berry continuing his association with the five-year-old, Waterford warrants an each-way ticket with online betting sites. Selections: 9 WATERFORD 3 WELWAL 12 JIMMYSSTAR 16 WHINCHAT Best Value Race 9 – #9 Waterford (6) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Tommy Berry (58kg) +1400 with PlayUp Race 10: BM88 Handicap (1200m) The best bet comes in the Randwick finale as Kazou returns to racing. The daughter of Zoustar cruised through the wire in a recent barrier trial at Rosehill on March 18, making every post a winner to score by 8.6 lengths. Simply put, if Kazou can replicate those jump-and-run tactics under James McDonald on race-day, the four-year-old mare will run her rivals into the ground in this BM88 handicap. Selections: 12 KAZOU 17 GENERAL SALUTE 7 PEREILLE 3 KIBOU Best Bet Race 10 – #12 Kazou (4) 4yo Mare | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (55.5kg) +210 with Dabble Randwick free Saturday quaddie tips Randwick quadrella selections Saturday, April 20, 2024 2-7 1-3-9-10-11-12 3-5-6-9-12-13-16 2-3-7-12-17 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
