“Looks primed”: Gannon's Saturday best at Randwick (20/12)

By Mick Gannon

Leading form analyst Mick Gannon from TheGreatTipOff and SENTrack & RSN has provided his best bets for the weekend of racing.

Gannon has targeted Randwick on Saturday.

Randwick: Race 2, No.5 - OAKFIELD SATURN

This progressive mare has quickly built momentum, notching two wins early in her second preparation and showing a real knack for putting herself into the contest on speed.

She was authoritative winning a BM64 at Wyong last time out and while this is a step up into a restricted BM72, she gets in nicely at the weights, dropping 2.5kg and again pairing with Jason Collett.

With the rail out 4 metres on a good track, the setup looks favourable for those rolling forward, and Oakfield Saturn profiles to take full advantage of that.

She maps to sit top 6 in the run and will give a sight.

Randwick: Race 7, No.8 - SUNRISE

Comes back to a BM94 after taking on Group 3 company, and with Anna Roper’s claim, carries the same weight despite the class drop.

Her effort to stick on for third on a rain-affected track last start was full of merit, particularly on a day that didn’t suit horses up on the speed. Back on a dry track, with limited speed influence engaged, conditions look far more to her favour.

Unbeaten from two runs at this venue, she looks primed to lift returning to her preferred surface with the map working her way.
