Randwick Best Selection & Value Play 19/10

An outstanding card at Randwick today. Our analyst has found of mare well placed at the weights dropping back from G1 WFA company as the best selection and last year’s Everest winner running in the Sydney Stakes as the Value Play.

Best Selection: R8- Kimochi

Kimochi is racing in outstanding order. She sat wide and was strong all the way to the line winning the G3 Toy Show by 0.3L 1st up before again sitting wide and holding strong to finish 2.4L 4th in the G1 Manikato at Moonee Valley 2nd up.

Gate 10 has the potential to be a little hairy again but the speed drawn outside should help. She is well weighted with only 55.5kg in 4yo company carrying 1kg less than what she did in G1 WFA company.

Value Selection: R6- Think About It

Think About It’s form stands out in this. He won The Everest on this day last year and will have been prepared to peak on this day over this trip after narrowly missing a Slot this year.

His 1st up 2.5L 6th in the G2 Premiere was a forgive as he was forced to settle at the rear from the outside gate on the back of a Slow tempo. The wide gate is a concern in this but I like that connections have announced change of tactics to go forward. Don’t expect him to be too prominent as he doesn’t possess the speed to go with the likes of Overpass, which does leave him at risk of being posted wide.
