Seven races make up another quality midweek program at Randwick-Kensington on Wednesday, June 10th.
The rail will be left in the true position around the entire course while at publish, we’re faced with a track rated in the Soft (6) range.
Read on for my complete Randwick-Kensington best bets!
Zourrific debuts in a winnable race at Randwick-Kensington.
The Zoustar gelding has shown good ability at the trials and has drawn to receive every chance here under Kerrin McEvoy.
| 6. Zourrific (6) J: Kerrin Mcevoy 56.5kg T: Peter Snowden | |||
| Two-year-old gelding having first run by leading sire Zoustar out of Glamorize. From the Peter Snowden stable. Won a barrier trial at Randwick over 1080m May 29. Handy gelding who can make a winning debut. | |||
Celestial Charm is second up and primed to strike in Sydney on Wednesday.
The Extreme Choice filly trialled up nicely before debuting and couldn’t have done a lot more without winning at Canterbury a couple of weeks ago.
With natural improvement for that experience, she can go one better and begin her journey through the grades this week.
| 4. Celestial Charm (6) J: Tommy Berry 57.5kg 2T: Michael Freedman | |||
| Was well-supported at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Canterbury 2yo F Mdn on May 27 over 1100m, in the wet; 0.6 len behind Pin Up Sheila carrying 58kg at $3.80. Well placed to get off the mark. | |||
Konsa is third up and well placed to win this week at Randwick-Kensington.
The Ocean Park gelding is a five-start maiden, but he has been knocking on the door since debuting and run into the minors on three occasions.
Both runs back from a break have been full of merit and any further improvement this week would see him extremely difficult to beat.
| 6. Konsa (1) J: Nash Rawiller 57kg 43×32T: Chris Waller | |||
| Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at Warwick Farm Super 3yo Mdn on May 6 over 1300m, slow going 1.75 len behind Condone with 56.5kg at $11. Second-up 2nd of 9 at Newcastle Super3y+ Mdn-Sw on May 23 over 1400m, on heavy track; 0.7 len behind Spiv with 59kg at $2. Fitter now and maps well on the firmer surface, go close. | |||
Jarrito resumes in a nice race at Randwick-Kensington.
We haven’t seen the well-bred filly at the races since November, but she absolutely flies fresh and beat home a classy field, including the likes of I Am Carrot and Fornelli at this point of her last preparation.
She’s trialled up well and is drawn ideally this week under Rachel King.
| 9. Jarrito (4) J: Rachel King 58kg 3x10xT: Bjorn Baker | |||
| First-up. Finished off last preparation when last of 10 at Hawkesbury F&M Bm64 November 27 over 1100m, 11 len behind Nesrine with 58.5kg at $3.10. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.2 len Gosford Super Mdn November 11 over 1100m defeating I Am Carrot with 56kg at $1.50. | |||
Thames gets back into an appropriate race at Randwick-Kensington this week.
Having returned to action with a fine performance to get up over 1250m here last month, Thames attracted some interest in the market when stepping out in BM78 company at Rosehill last time out but ultimately finished down the order.
With the benefit of that run under her belt, dropping back to the midweeks and with some relief in the weights under Anna Roper, I think she gets plenty of ticks at genuine each way odds
| 1. Thames (4) J: Anna Roper 62kg 95×10T: Gary Portelli | |||
| Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.7 len at this track 4yo+ Mares Bm72 May 13 over 1250m defeating Super Nui with 60kg at $7. Second-up 11th of 13 at Rosehill F&M Bm78 on May 30 over 1200m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Super Bright with 56kg at $13. | |||
Black Babylon gets another chance to win at Randwick-Kensington.
The Night Of Thunder clearly needed his first run back this time to tune up, but he has since only just been denied in a pair of BM72 races over 2100m and 2200m respectively at Warwick Farm.
He steps out this week in peak order, is proven on the soft going and is drawn to effect.
| 7. Black Babylon (4) J: Tom Sherry 57.5kg 5×922T: Annabel & Rob Archibald | |||
| Recent form sound. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Warwick Farm Bm72 on June 3 over 2200m, slow going 0.6 len behind Le Troisir carrying 60kg at $5.50. Before that 2nd of 11 at Warwick Farm Bm72 on May 20 over 2110m, on rain affected going; 1.2 len behind So Suave carrying 59.5kg at $13. | |||
I’m keen to be with Supermassive in the last.
Supermassive was a smart winner in BM64 company fresh from a spell and while a little flat getting out to 1300m at Warwick Farm second up, he was only just denied under virtually identical conditions last time out.
He’s hard fit this week, another small rise in trip looks to suit and I can’t find a reason why he won’t be in the finish again.
| 1. Supermassive (9) J: Tim Clark 60.5kg 5×152T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | |||
| Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Warwick Farm Bm72 on May 20 over 1300m, in the wet; 0.5 len behind Sanctified with 59.5kg at $7. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at Warwick Farm Cg&E Bm72 on May 6 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Iceman carrying 59.5kg at $3. | |||
