Randwick - Race 2 - Adrian Knox Stakes - 2000m

Selections:
9. Polymnia - $2.50
6. Belle Detelle - $5.00
3. Canny Queen - $10.00

BEST BET - Polymnia - $2.50
Having won so impressively at Hawkesbury last time out, Polymnia will be chasing another big scoop here at Randwick. Extending to 2000m is the only concern but this horse is such a strong runner and it will be in the mix from the outset.

THE DANGER - Belle Detelle - $5.00
Chris Waller thinks alot of this horse and Belle Detelle is the unknown quantity in this one. A big step up in trip is required but this is a top quality horse and if it can adjust, it should be firmly in contention.

VALUE BET - Canny Queen - $10.00
Kiwi flyer Canny Queen is another one that could lay down a challenge, with this horse very accustomed to the distance and the conditions. Form is more of a question mark though, with some quiet runs from its last few outings.

Randwick - Race 3 - Schweppes Chairman's Quality Stakes - 2600m

Selections:
3. Alalcance - $2.70
7. Waltham - $8.00
1. Desert Hero - $9.00

BEST BET - Alalcance - $2.70
Waterhouse and Bott have been seeing steady improvements in this horse over the past few months and this looks like a chance to land a big one. Alalcance is a gun of a horse and it wins this with a clear run.

THE DANGER - Waltham - $8.00
Stamina is the overriding quality of Waltham, who simply never gives up the running and conditions here at Randwick should suit. Beating Alalcance feels a tall order but Waltham has the potential to at least contend.

VALUE BET - Desert Hero - $9.00
Here to compete and not make the numbers up is British stalwart Desert Hero. It enjoys an impressive record and standing in the UK but this will be a stern test and it may take a couple of races to get up to speed.

Randwick - Race 9 - ATC Australian Derby - 2400m

Selections:
18. Aeliana - $2.30
1. Willydoit - $5.00
4. Shanwah - $11.00

BEST BET - Aeliana - $2.30
Chris Waller and Damian Lane team up again here on Aeliana and all eyes are on this horse to land a big scoop here in the Derby. It has the pace and the credentials, it surely just needs to turn up and run well.

THE DANGER - Willydoit - $5.00
The relative unknown in this race is Willydoit, the lightly raced contender from New Zealand. Form is good, albeit at a lesser standard but if it has the pace and stamina, it is a true threat.

VALUE BET - Shanwah - $11.00
Ciaron Maher has been getting a serious tune out of Shanwah of late and its odds for a contest such as this seem a touch inflated. Beating Aeliana is a big ask but it is hardly beyond the realms of possibility for a horse as talented as this.
