The Sydney Spring Carnival gets underway at Randwick this Saturday, with the Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m) headlining a bumper 10-part program. The $1 million feature has attracted a stacked field of 12 and is supported by a stellar undercard, including the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) alongside a trio of Group 3 features.

With showers forecast across Sydney leading into the weekend, the track is expected to be in the Heavy range, while the rail is in the true position for the entire circuit. Winx Stakes Day 2025 is scheduled to get underway at 11:40am local time.

Winx Stakes Tip: Aeliana

The Chris Waller-trained Aeliana stamped herself as a horse to follow with her breathtaking display in the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) on April 5. She had proved to be a genuine miler prior to that performance, producing victories in the Group 3 Reginald Allen Quality (1400m) and Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) as a three-year-old. She appears to be returning in superb order on the back of two eye-catching barrier trials, and with Jason Collett set to get the run of the race from stall two, Aeliana should get every chance to claim the 2025 Winx Stakes.

Silver Shadow Stakes Tip: Within The Law

Within The Law returns after a 126-day spell and a gruelling two-year-old campaign. The Lucky Vega filly was a model of consistency throughout the preparation, hitting the frame in six of her seven starts, with her lone failure coming when jumping the rail in the Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m). She lacks race-day fitness and comes in this on the back of one barrier trial; however, with an element of class compared to some key rivals, Within The Law should prove hard to hold out in the 2025 Silver Shadow Stakes.

Toy Show Quality Tip: Manaal

While the undefeated Autumn Glow is all the rage with horse racing bookmakers, the Michael Freedman-trained Manaal shouldn’t be underestimated heading into the Group 3 Toy Show Quality (1200m). The now four-year-old simply couldn’t draw a marble last preparation, securing a double-digit gate in all three starts when being well held by potential superstar Lady Shenandoah. She was cruising in her latest barrier trial, and with the yielding ground giving a massive boost to her chances, Manaal looks a good price to upset the hotpot favourite.

Show County Quality Tip: Yellow Brick

Yellow Brick brings residual fitness into the Group 3 Show County Quality (1200m) after a terrific runner-up effort in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1350m) on June 14. The Tony & Maddysen Sears-trained gelding also brings an outstanding record over 1200m, with the six-year-old producing three wins and four minor placings across seven starts. The heavy conditions should be no issue for Yellow Brick, and although he will be tested with 60kg on his back, expect Andrew Mallyon to press forward and allow this guy to show his rivals a clean pair of heels turning for home.

Best Bet at Randwick: Juja Kibo

Juja Kibo goes in search of a hat-trick and looks perfectly placed in this BM78 contest. The son of Belardo relished the Heavy 8 conditions in his latest victory at Rosehill on August 2, extending impressively when urged to take a gap by apprentice hoop Braith Nock. Stepping out to the 2400m for the first time appears ideal, and although the pair will need to drop back to find cover from stall 10, watch for Juja Kibo to be putting in the big strides late.
