Sydney Specials : Randwick - 16th February 2019

3 minute read

All eyes on Winx making her return this weekend, however we are honing in on her stablemates at Randwick on Saturday.

Progressive mare Gayatri

Bit of a tricky card, with a few short priced favourites coupled with a few lotteries.

Of the horses in the red, the Chris Waller trained Gayatri appears the pick of them.

While it's never easy to suggest there is much edge in a $1.80 chance, expect we may get a touch better on the day, given the awkward map.

She did just enough to win at Warwick Farm last start, however confident she didn't really handle the heavy track as her win prior at Randwick (K) was top draw.

When adjusting for sectional mark ups, she returned a performance which would see her competitive in Stakes company, case and point she should be winning a Bm78.

I've got her marked well into the red, as while her rivals look to be treading water, she is clearly a mare on the rise.

The barrier does appear the biggest danger, however hoping Bowman can come across from the draw and settle just off the speed – from there she should be very hard to hold out.

In the last Girl Tuesday is a must bet at the early odds ($4.60).

While obviously very disappointing last start, she did start the well supported $2.10 favourite and always prepared to forgive a good horse one bad run (some of the best advice I've ever been given by Gary Crispe).

She notably pulled up with a poor post race recovery and the first five horses at the turn (inside), were the first five across the line, she was always going to struggle from where she was positioned.

It's a far different set up for Girl Tuesday on Saturday, she's drawn inside, gets a firm deck and should relish the step up to the mile.

In betting your biggest edge is unlikely to be found in your dominant last start winners, but more so in horses that were deemed below par.

If you backed her last start, I understand you would have been disappointed, but you just have to back up on her on Saturday.
