Our Randwick Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Day 1 of The Championships with four Group 1 races, a Group 2 race, four Group 3 races and the Country Championship.
The Irishman (Randwick Race 2 No. 4)
This Tavistock colt trained by Mark Newnham has two wins and two places from five starts. He resumed from a nine week break for a narrow win over 1400m at Warwick Farm on 3 March where he fought hard to get the bob in, then chased hard to find the front at the 220m but was run down late for 0.4 length 2nd behind Hungry Heart in the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes. He is fitter now and should win this.

Each Way
Lightsaber (Randwick Race 6 No. 3):
This Zoustar colt trained by Peter Moody has three wins and a 2nd from his four starts. He won by 2.25 length over 1400m at Sandown Hillside on 17 February, then won by 1.5 lengths in the Group 2 Sires Produce over 1400m at Flemington on 6 March. They were both good wins and he is the only horse in the field to have won over the 1400m distance of the ATC Sires Produce. He looks an excellent each-way bet.

Best Lay
Never Talk (Randwick Race 10 No. 6):
This No Nay Never filly has five wins and a place from nine starts and is the early favourite in the Group 3 P J Bell Stakes for three-year-old fillies over 1200m. She did well for 0.2 lengths 2nd in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes over 1200m on 13 February, then kept chasing for 4.2 lengths 4th in the Group 1 Surround Stakes over 1400m at Randwick om 27 February. She is a good filly but as all her wins have been in the 900m to 1100m range I am prepared to risk her here.

Key Comments The 'Bool carnival continues and the feature on the card is the Wangoom Handicap (race 8). Tricky card to sort out but going for the best bet in the feature who is 3/3 on this track and class can come to the fore. Best Bet Tuvalu (Warrnambool Race 8 No. 1) He is 3/3 on this track and form last prep reads well against these including a length loss behind Pinstriped, a length loss behind Alligator Blood and half a length

Key Comments The track is rated Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 1000m to the winning post and +1.5 metres for the remainder. Best Bet Chilli Jam (Townsville Race 7 No. 16) She is absolutely flying and has won all 4 starts this campaign. She gets a 3 kg claim for Isabella Teh who rode her last start for a 3 length win. Can make it 5 in a row. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The Warrnambool carnival kicks off and the 2?? feature races of day one are the Vobis Gold Strike (race 5) & the Merlin Handicap (race 7). The best bet has a superb first up record and brings in the class factor. The rail is true. Best Bet Claidheamh Mor (Warrnambool Race 8 No. 1) Brings in a brilliant first up record, maps to lead the field and relishes soft conditions. The early price has been taken and this 5yo Gelding has

Key Comments On pace runners typically suited on this track. The best bet is early on in the day and is on the quick back up after being heavily tried last start. Best Bet Djawara (Mornington Race 2 No. 11) Good effort last start when well tried and this race is no harder. Hefel steers and just needs luck from barrier 8 to be breaking maiden. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Think Rock (Mornington Race 3 No. 3) Got close last start when charging to the line and Think Rock is overdue for another win. Maps a treat and this race suits. Yes to $2.90 Check odds on SmartB Best Lay No Lay Bet Race 1 2 Check Your Six 10 Telescope 4 Mintman 11 The Candy Girl Check odds on SmartB Race 2 11 Djawara (BB) 4
