Daily Racing Tips – Saturday 18th January
by Joshua Bell
Flemington - Race 3 4:30pm AEDT
No. 4 Banquo
The Written Tycoon colt strung together two wins late last year and he was only beaten less than a length at Group 2 level at Sandown. He must overcome a wide barrier but with even luck he will be right in the finish.
Flemington - Race 5 5:50pm AEDT
No. 2 Bold Star
In a very open Kensington Stakes, I think the Adelaide galloper Bold Star is the one to beat. I think the step back in distance, where he has won four of five starts, suits him to a tee. He should be fit enough and he looks well placed to record another black type win.
Rosehill - Race 3 2:15pm AEDT
No. 1 Lashes
Lashes rises significantly in weight from her last start win at Randwick however she is a horse with plenty of upside. The lightly raced I Am Invincible mare looks the stand out in what is a fairly weak race and she can be winning again with even luck.
Rosehill - Race 4 2:50pm AEDT
No. 6 Stella Sea Sun
Stella Sea Sun has won five of her 11 race starts to date and has only missed the placing on two occasions. She ran fourth first-up however she was beaten less than half a length. She can take plenty of improvement out of that run and go close again here.
