The midweek racing on offer this week wasn’t great, and so far (one horse to run at the time of writing) our picks have followed suit. However, Lady Talea was scratched, so in all truth it was only Yoshida who let us down, running a poor race on Wednesday. Thankfully, this weekend’s racing looks awesome and we’re confident of providing success to our readers. These is a feast of great racing at Royal Randwick, which is backed up by decent cards at Townsville and Belmont.

Saturday 8th August Royal Randwick Race 8 - Angel Capital (Best Bet)

Chris Waller’s Angel Capital is arguably the most experienced in this field and has won by far more prize money than any other horse in the field. He was well fancied last time out at this course but disappointed finishing in sixth. However, we believe the slight drop in distance will see him bounce back to the form that saw him come second in a group one back in March. 

 

Rating 8 out of 10

Saturday 8th August Townsville Race 6 - Journalism

Journalism made it two wins in a row last time out and had many of these behind him in his previous outing. I cannot see enough improvement in any of those that finished behind him that day to suggest that they can turn the tables on him here. Jockey Adam Sewell is in good form and his record on Journalism reads 2-1-1. Expect this one to be amongst the top three once again.
