CHAMPIONSHIPS DAY 1 TIPS AND BEST BETS

Randwick tips and best bets

With heavy rain in the area all week the Randwick track is expected to stay at a heavy 10 for racing on Saturday which means the tipsters are looking for the mudlarks once again this week.

Randwick Race 1 - Nominator - $5.50

Nominator is having his third race start for the Adrian Bott and Gai Waterhouse stable today. When first up the gelding got stuck in traffic but was able to finish off well coming third on a slow track.

Went for a spell after that run but returned to win by nearly three lengths on the heavy track at Gosford. Seems to enjoy the slop and presents good value here.

Back Nominator to win

Randwick Race 4 - Chalk Stream - $3.70

An interesting import here for the Waller stable in the way of Chalk Stream. Had some useful form in the UK before heading down under and looks to have more ability the further he goes. 

Didn’t show much first up but when finishing third last time out he looked to enjoy the conditions and improved significantly over the longer distance.

Back Chalk Stream to win

Randwick Race 6 - Fireburn - $2.00

It’s hard to see anything upsetting the Gary Portelli trained Fireburn here in the Inglis Sires. Has won 4 out of 5 overall and was impressive when winning the Group 1 Golden Slipper by 2.5 lengths.

Stays at that weight and should be hard to beat with the conditions the same as on slipper day.

Back Fireburn to win
