Randwick-Kensington Tips July 16


Traffic Warden @ Darley Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Randwick-Kensington Next Best Bet - Race 4 No. 1 Hasty Honey

She had every favour when leading throughout second-up at Randwick-Kensington, however, it was still a strong performance and the fresh effort indicated that she had returned well.

Hasty Honey was Group 3 placed as a late three-year-old and while she didn't quite come up last campaign, her best effort was third-up in a stronger event than this.

I'm a little surprised that connections didn't take the Midway option last Saturday, however, Hasty Honey remains over a track/trip that she was successful over last start.

The Agency Real Estate Handicap Tips (Race 5)


Randwick-Kensington Best Bet - Race 5 No. 1 Epic Proportions

Now with three runs under the belt and with blinkers being reapplied, it's D-Day for Epic Proportions, who looks to get all on-speed favours on the map under an in-form Braith Nock.

He gave 4kg to a progressive stablemate when runner-up over this track/trip on June 25 and the first three opened up a big space in that affair, with almost five lengths back to fourth.

Fourth-up last campaign, Epic Proportions wore blinkers when beating both Payline (Group 1 placed in May) and Transatlantic (won four of his next starts, including a Listed race last month).

Ole Kirk @ Vinery Stud Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Randwick-Kensington Roughie - Race 6 No. 12 Tomba

He was a notable drifter in the market first-up at Newcastle, where Tomba was well-held on a Heavy 8 surface and the gelding then appeared uncomfortable second-up when in restricted room.

The Archibald-trained galloper was able to record back-to-back wins in his first campaign when letting down on the outside of opposition, so drawing gate seven may be an advantage.

Also, Tomba has blinkers back on for Wednesday's assignment and while he's up in grade off his two June outings, he carries 4.5kg less from his June 25 attempt and he'll only strip fitter.

Asahi Super Dry Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Randwick-Kensington Value Bet - Race 7 No. 3 Kapakiri

His winning form has all come at 1800m-2400m, however, Kapakiri often produces a good run fresh, with three placings and a fourth-place finish recorded from his last four first-up outings.

The last two return efforts have resulted in top three finishes at Saturday level and the five-year-old has worked well in two lead-up trials ahead of Wednesday's resumption.

A cold ride is likely, as he's drawn out for this 1400m BM72, but the middle and wider lanes are often in play late on a Randwick-Kensington card, while he gets some relief after a 2kg claim.
