Randwick Kensington

ANZAC Day racing takes place on the Kensington track at Randwick on Monday, where we have an eight-race card on another Heavy 10 track.

Small fields and low quality are the theme of the day but Tim Geers has done his best to highlight some winners throughout the day.

He’s betting in Race 3, Race 4, Race 5 and Race 8.

Looks a race between (5) Hollywood North and (7) Toesonthenose.

Hollywood North broke his maiden on a heavy 10 at Kembla last start so he’s ticked the box regarding the surface he’ll line up on today. Not sure he beat all that much at Kembla but he doesn’t have that much to beat again today.

Toesonthenose resumed from a spell with a maiden win at Newcastle, where he led throughout. That was on a Soft 6 which is encouraging but a heavy 10 is a different beast. Think he’s ultimately a better horse than Hollywood North though.

Tip: (7) Toesonthenose $2.45 Moneyball

Betting Strategy: 1.5 units WIN Toesonthenose

I have one or two queries about those heading the market at the moment so I’ll look to play around the two current faves.

(7) Girl Mania draws barrier 1 which I’m not sure will be the best place to be, but her first up effort at Hawkesbury was very good. She bolted in second up last preparation and has won on all surfaces.

(1) Stoical has a terrific fresh record with three wins from four starts. It’s going to be a challenge winning this first up with 60.5kg on a heavy 10, but he’s carrying that weight because he’s the horse in the race with the best form. Think the price is acceptable.

Tip: (7) Girl Mania $3.85 BoomBet

Also Backing: (1) Stoical $6.00 TAB

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Girl Mania, 0.5 units WIN Stoical

Looks a good race for (6) Thalassophile. William Pike was dual-booked by Chris Waller here so clearly he was only ever going to run one of Thalassophile or Arranmore. Pike rode Thalassophile to a 6L romp two starts ago before running 2nd at Hawkesbury last start. Was vetted behind the gates on that occasion which is never ideal. Has won on this ground before and looks very hard to beat today.

Main danger could be the GaiBott resumer (1) Rangi Toa.

Tip: (6) Thalassophile $1.90 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 2 units WIN Thalassophile

(5) Mach Schnell finds a very winnable race today with just four runners to beat. He was good on his Australian debut where he finished 4th, beaten 2L. He should improve with that run under his belt and stepping up to 1400m also helps. The form out of the race has been OK with Too Much Caviar since running well again. The heavy 10 is some query but he doesn’t have much to beat here.

Biggest danger is the GaiBott resumer (14) Star Sparks.

Tip: (5) Mach Schnell $2.35 Ladbrokes

Betting Strategy: 1 unit WIN Mach Schnell

A trip to Hong Kong quickly had Tim hooked to the racing caper, maintaining the best place anywhere in the world on a Wednesday night is Happy Valley. He holds a strong interest in the Hong Kong form, along with the metropolitan racing in Sydney and Melbourne. He’s a fan of dry tracks, Zac Purton and takes particular interest in identifying patterns in the form. Tim wears many hats, juggling the roles of form analyst, jockey manager and racehorse owner.
