Midweek Sydney racing takes place at a wet Kensington this week. Our analyst has landed on a pair of $7 pops as the best selection and value play.Â
Best Selection: R3- Indigo Star
Indigo Star steps up to 1800m after 3 solid efforts in this grade this prep and should be hitting peak fitness. He gets a gun run from Gate 2 with J Mac in the saddle over a track/distance where barriers are important over the first 300m and has raced well in his two goes on Heavy.
Value Selection: R7 – Glory Daze
The Premier’s Cup Prelude is the only race to be rescheduled from Saturday’s Randwick meeting. Glory Daze gets a lovely map, handles the wet, gets in really well at the weights with 53.5kg and brings solid exposed form with a pair a recent 3rds in Listed company on Heavy tracks. He is 6 weeks between runs, but the early market firm is a solid indicator he is forward enough to win.
