Quick Analysis:

It’s all one-way traffic in the market for The Everest in 2026, and that’s with Ka Ying Rising. Now, there’s no value in the gelding, but with the form he’s in, it’s clear to see why he’s such the heavy favourite. He’s been competing in Hong Kong, and last time out, he ran a track record! The 6YO had a recent trial here at Randwick, and he should improve from that. Zac Purton sticks, and the wide draw isn’t a concern.

Quick Analysis:

Taking a chance on Wine Dark Sea for the Caulfield Cup. The gelding presents decent value, especially around the place bet. He’s been in great form across the UK and Europe as of late, winning three of his last four, including a Group 3 at Newbury last time out. With just 54.5kg on his back, he’ll be flying and is certainly good enough to overcome the wide draw. A good run here could see him tackle the Melbourne Cup next month.

Top Pick:

Best Odds Available:

NZ$3.30 with 20Bet

Quick Analysis:

With the scratching of Pride Of Jenni, there are only five runners in this one, and Autumn Glow is currently going around at Winx odds for the King Charles III Stakes. The 5YO is two-from-two so far this prep, winning the Winx Stakes first-up and then the Sunrise Stakes last time out, both at Randwick. She’s the best horse going around at the moment, and while there’s no value, anchor her in your exotics.

Stats and Insights

  • Icelady led all the way to break her maiden in the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude and comes from a strong stable. She can rise to the Group 1 challenge in Race 7 at Caulfield.
  • Spiethtacular was dominant in a recent win at Doomben, winning by 1L as the favourite. She can back up that performance with yet another win in Race 7 at Doomben.
  • Oakfield Utah has won three of seven starts this campaign and comes from a strong stable. He looks well placed to add another win in Race 7 at Newcastle.
