Randwick R4 Buy An Arrowfield Yearling (Bm72) 1300m

Selections:
#8 Tuileries (BEST BET) - $2.00
#2 Drift Net - $2.80
#3 Bindi's Choice - $10.00
#7 Froebel Star - $15.00

BEST BET - #8 - Tuileries - (BEST BET)
Looking for back to back wins on Thursday. Comes off a nice win at Canterbury over 1250m, smashing the field by 3 lengths. Should be fitter for her second career run.

THE DANGER - #2 - Drift Net
Ready to win now. Finished second last start with Tommy Berry on board at Rosehill. Not a lot of queries with this one, it could win this.

VALUE BET - #3 - Bindi's Choice
Last race, Bindi's Choice ran a place (2nd) at Randwick-Kensington, just finishing behind the winner (Spirit Of Varanasi (56.5kg)). Should get a lot of confidence from that run and should be a good bet again.

Randwick R5 Tab (Bm64) 1000m

Selections:
#6 Vanessi (NEXT BEST) - $3.10
#5 Unconquerable - $6.00
#16 Don't Doubt Merlin - $11.00
#1 Zouripper - $7.50

BEST BET - #6 - Vanessi - (NEXT BEST)
In its last race at Canterbury on December 13, it came out on top with a winning margin of 3.3 lengths. It was carrying 59kg and held off Regimental Colours (57kg), which was pretty good to watch at $1.85 odds. So, it's looking in nice touch for this race. I think it could be a nice safe each way bet.

THE DANGER - #5 - Unconquerable
Last start, it tried hard but was outgunned, finishing 4th of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic in a BM58 over 1200m, 3.8 lengths behind Sumadartson (61.5kg). I expect this runner to finish strong and should offer good value odds for punters on Thursday.

VALUE BET - #16 - Don't Doubt Merlin
Don't Doubt Merlin showed some promise at Warwick Farm last time. In its last start, Don't Doubt Merlin placed 3rd out of 8 in a BM72 on December 4 over 1000m, on a good track, just 4.1 lengths behind Trafalgar Square (55kg) with 57.5kg at $7.50. In decent form at the moment, so it could be dangerous.

Randwick R6 Darley (Bm78) 1000m

Selections:
#6 Storm The Ramparts - $3.00
#1 Frilled - $3.80
#2 Audette - $9.00
#7 Extravagent Lad - $7.50

BEST BET - #6 - Storm The Ramparts
Storm The Ramparts showed form on April 25 at Randwick-Kensington , placing 2nd out of 6 in a BM72 on a good track, just 1.5 lengths behind Jedibeel (60.5kg) with 59kg at $8.50. After that race, I think Storm The Ramparts can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time.

THE DANGER - #1 - Frilled
ILast race, Frilled was 6th out of 11 at Kembla Grange on November 23 on a good track over 1000m, 3.4 lengths behind Headwall (53kg) with 54kg at $16.00. But it should improve here.

VALUE BET - #2 - Audette
She’s back from a spell and has won first-up before. Gets an apprentice jockey with a 3kg advantage and nice barrier draw from the #4.

Multi Tips For Randwick

On a day filled with fierce competition and horses that are pumped for the races, it's wise to approach multi betting with caution. I've leaned towards horses with favourable barriers, decent weights and in-form jockeys. These factors can often make a real difference in such tightly contested races.
