Randwick Racing Betting – Inglis Villiers Stakes Day
On December 18 2010 we have horse racing at Randwick with the Inglis Villiers Stakes Day which features the Group 2 Inglis Villiers Stakes. Below we have Randwick racing preview of the days horse racing from our friends at Sportingbet Australia.
Race 1
Sincero has come up favourite but while he shows tremendous potential he steps up from a midweek BM65 race and has drawn the outside barriers – he looks under the odds for mine. Secession is also coming from midweek company but did make ground in a stronger grade race. He is drawn to get a nice tail in. Unanimously boasts a win over Lichtenstein and a second to Falino in Saturday grade at his last two runs and looks in it up to his ears if he can overcome a slightly tricky barrier. Demanding Miss drops in class and has the services of Rawiller but has never run a place second up.
Selection: Biggietupac
Roughie: Biggietupac – Checked off heels behind Starlene when resuming then three wide the trip in MM 3yo at Wyong to still be beaten less than half a length. Being by Dubai Destination the extra ground looks to suit and she looks well over the odds.
Race 2
Could not rule any of the eight runners out of this race.Streets Away looked good in accounting for Patrician’s Glory last week but the latter does get a 1.5kg pull in the weights and looks suited by the extra 400 metres. Kossack has a very good record at this trip and will be aided by any rain that could be about. White Horse Inn is on the up and will get the last shot at them. While going up in class he comes in 0.5kg under the minimum after Tim Bell’s claim.
Selection: Patrician’s Glory
Roughie: Halfwaytolondon – Country galloper who is dour and stays all day. Is in 2kg under the minumum after the claim for Spriggs and can cause an upset at big odds.
Race 3
Hot Snitzel Looked very smart in winning last week but I have a slight query over early two year olds backing up. Pane In The Glass did plenty wrong on debut but drove through a narrow gap to score impressively. While you have to question the Brisbane form I think this one may be above average. You’re Canny was untouched when accounting for a spruik horse at Canberra and could well measure up. Aashiq found the line well at Flemington but has an awkward draw and looks unders.
Selection: Pane In The Glass
Roughie: Gelido – Has been kept fresh for two wins from two starts in the bush and has an abundance of pace. Neil Godbolt doesn’t bring many to town but when he does they are usually competitive.
Race 4
Gigas was disappointing on face value first up but usually improves sharply at second run from a spell. Princess Quality gets in nicely after a 3kg claim and has looked good in winning two barrier trials on route to this first up assignment. Phenonomal Lass is a mare in good form who tried hard in brisbane despite being unfavourably weighted. We Betcha peaked on her run last start but will strip much fitter here. Counterpane has a good first up record and can’t be underestimated this class. Dystopia is capable enough but just finds it a little hard to win.
Selection: Princess Quality
Roughie: Kiss ‘N Chase – Unbeaten third up and not far behind two smart ones in Sikka and So So Sure last start. Looks good value at double figure odds.
Race 5
Daintree Road is shooting for four in a row and looks like getting a soft lead here. Mutawarath resumed in solid fashion and will have benefitted but not sure of the form for that race. Canary Islands is capable on his day and gets in nicely at the weights. Joe Blow will benefit from the drop in distance but doesn’t win enough.
Selection: Daintree Road (Special)
Roughie: African Prince – Missed the start when resuming but would have been right in the finish if the race was 50 metres longer. Will get better when stepping up to 2000 but can’t totally rule him out if he runs up to last start.
Race 6
Stratofortress bypassed the Spring to concentrate on races such as this and is one of the toughest gallopers in Sydney racing. Rawiller has the key to getting the best out of him and he looks hard to beat. Rythmn Of Dance looks immensly talented. He gets in on the minimum but this is a huge class rise. Parthian and Dyshonia come in to this from the same race with Parthian getting a 2kg pull in the weights from his stablemate. I like him even more if the track gets rain affected. Altered Boy still has plenty of upside and could get the last crack at them though he looks weighted right up to his best. Adnocon gets some nice weight relief after carrying the grandstand at recent starts and could be the value runner. Dances On Waves is promising and lightly weighted but it will take a gem of a ride by Avdulla from barrier 13.
Selection: Parthian
Roughie: Emperor Boneparte – It’s a long time since he won but looked like figuring in the finish in similar company until peaking on his run last start. Will have improved with the run and drawn to give it a shake.
Race 7
Swift Alliance is the class runner but while his first up stats read well I have the feeling that he usually needs a run to wind right up. With a 60kg impost I’m prepared to risk him. The Jackal is a grand campaigner who usually performs second up and will be getting home hard. Ego’s Dare has been kept fresh and performs best this way. He has a slightly awkward barrier but there is pace inside him. Girl Hussler didn’t step too well last start and was disadvantaged by a leader biased track. She gets 7kg from the favourite and looks up to the class. Funtantes has a nice draw but faces a big test in Sydney. Tallow is a horse on the up but can do plenty wrong and will need to have her mind right on the job.
Selection: Girl Hussler
Roughie: Red Lord – Kept to a sprint campaign last time but didn’t quite fire although not far back first up. Has surprised fresh before and could come home hard if the likes of Keen Commander set a cracking pace.
Race 8
Another tough race to finish with. Mumslad is racing in career best form and will benefit from the claim for Lovelock-Wiggins. Will look the winner at some point but the last 50 metres will be a challenge. So So Sure is racing well and has plenty of pace but I would like to see him box seating with what looks an abundance of pace here. Fusakeo was tried with mixed success over some longer distances last time in and is likely to contest the lead fresh from a wide barrier. Flaming Rock would be in plenty of blackbooks following a first up eyecatcher and is another that will benefit from a strong tempo. Storm Kite improved last start but is yet to run a place from three third up runs. Guderian has a strong liking for this track and distance and can figure at enormous odds.
Selection: So So Sure
Roughie: Daytona Beach – Will get better as his races get longer but they are likely to set a frantic pace here. Has won fresh in the past and a chance to run over the top of them and deliver a knock out.
