22 to 1 Tom’s International Tips

Race 6 – FLEMINGTON 1600m Blamey Stakes 3U OPEN G2 Prizemoney: $300,000

5 – Mr. Brightside

10 starts 6 wins 2 placings

Only a listed winner but is 5 from 6 at the distance

In his only grade 1 race, he ran 4th sitting 5th most of the race, move forward here?

Is this horse a distance specialist? Maybe but this is the race to prove it

1-Zaaki

30 starts 10 wins 9 placings

9 starts at the distance 2 wins 3 placings

A 3 times winner at group 1 level and a winner of 1400m to 2200m

His top dog here, the question off layoff, he’s won 3 times from 7 starts

He won his last start at this track

6 – Corner Pocket

10 starts 8 wins 2 placings

Never ran this distance and is stepping up

He’s a 5-year-old gelding who appears to be getting better with patience and age

6 for 6 in his last races

Steps up big time but certain knows how to win

 

Race 7 -FLEMINGTON 1600m Australian Guineas 3 OPEN SW G1 Prizemoney: $1,000,000

3 – Profondo

3 starts 2 wins 1 placing

Never ran this distance but is 1 for 1 in group 1 races

Prep barrier trials were a 1st at 1175m and average run in his first race

His going to sit close to the lead and will win by 1L or 2L

9 – Pinstriped

3 starts 3 wins

No races at this distance but won last at 1400m in group 3 race

Has handle all type of track condition so far

Maybe farther back this time because there are 4 horses with speed in here

2 – Captivant

13 starts 2 wins 5 placings

2 starts at the distance 1 win 1 second

2 races this season in group 3 with a 6th and then 3rd, improving efforts but still sitting mid-pack in the field

Failed as the favorite last out

He is a group 1 winner but he misbehaved at the starting gate last and had a vet check in his first start ordered by the stewarts and found nothing

I think he’s good enough to get a placing

 

Race 5 – RANDWICK 1000m Challenge Stakes 3U OPEN G2 Prizemoney: $500,000

1 – Nature Strip

35 starts 19 wins 7 placings

At the distance 16 starts 9 wins 4 placings

A winner at distance from 1000m to 1200m with a 54% win rate

Needs first start of the season, running 7th moving on the turn to run 2nd all that with being blocked

Both his barrier trials were good coming into the last race

5 – Ahead Start

7 starts 3 wins 2 placings

At the distance, 2 starts 1 win 1 placing

Ok barrier trial before last race running 4th in class 3 race. Ok this is a group 1 race and big step up but with all the scratches, why not

2 – Eduardo

25 starts 10 wins 9 placings

At the distance 6 starts 2 wins 2 placings

Ran 3rd all the way around the track to run, 3rd

Won both barrier trials

Maybe runs this time on the front end this time?

 

Race 7 – RANDWICK 1300m Canterbury Stakes 3U OPEN G1 Prizemoney: $500,000

9 – Forbidden Love

20 starts 6 wins 6 placings

Never ran this distance but won at 1200m to 1400m

Group 2 winner at 1400m last out

Winner at group 1 level

Beaten the boys before but her record 3rd up is on 2 placings

Will settle close to the leaders and move late

10 – Lighthouse

15 starts 7 wins 5 placings

At this distance, 2 starts 1 win

Group 1 placed last out sitting 3rd and ran on for 2nd

Good form and should be right there at the end

8 – Laws of Indices

13 starts 3 wins 1 placing

1 start at the distance

Needed start in Australia, first run and has won after first start

Group 1 winner in France at 1400m

If ready, could be the winner

 

 

Race 8 – RANDWICK 1600m Randwick Guineas 3 OPEN SW G1 Prizemoney: $1,000,000

4 – Coastwatch

12 starts 3 wins 4 placings

1 starts at the distance and ran 4th

Winner last out in group 2 sitting 2nd in most of race and move with 600m to go

Used 2 barrier trials to prepare for the race

He’s placed in group 1 race and maybe a benefit of age and developed more fully

Steps up in distance so let’s see what he can do over the track condition

1 – Anamore

13 starts 6 wins 6 placings

He’s 1 for 1 at the distance

Has raced 2 times this season both in group 2 races and ran 3rd in first start and won this next start

In he’s win, he was more forwardly placed, and I think that will be his running style again

With his 3rd race of the season, in the past he is 2 for 2

Excellent form and the one to beat

12 – Sinba

5 starts 3 wins 1 placing

2 races at the distance with 1 win 1 placing

He’s coming off 2 wins at lower level, so this is a big step up

He appears to want to run just behind the mid-pack group and moves just after the turn for home

Like my top pick, maturity may have benefited this horse and not being too aggressive by owners/trainers help.
