Saturday’s Randwick meeting is stacked with top-tier racing, featuring key lead-ups to the Golden Slipper and high-class weight-for-age contests.
The track is currently rated a Soft 5, and with showers in the forecast, conditions could deteriorate further.
Horses with proven wet-track form will have a significant edge, making for a fascinating betting landscape.
Mick Gannon and Luke Hovhanesian have nailed down on their top picks in the features.
Mick continues to nail his best bets at a good rate!
Top Pick: Wodeton
Wodeton shapes as the one to beat in the Todman Stakes, with the colt set to peak third-up.
He has already proven himself on rain-affected ground and maps beautifully to settle with cover before getting to the best part of the track in the straight.
His debut performance was outstanding, and if he replicates that effort, he will be extremely hard to beat.
Any improvement on that run would require something special from his rivals to deny him victory.
Top Pick: Switzerland
Switzerland looms as the clear standout in the Canterbury Stakes.
He exits the Lightning Stakes, where he started as a $2.45 favourite but had genuine excuses in a messy race.
The step from 1000m to 1300m is a question mark, but the way the Flemington straight played like 1100m into a headwind suggests he will handle it comfortably.
His second-up record is perfect, and he boasts the highest peak rating in this field from his Coolmore Stud Stakes win.
With James McDonald aboard in what will be a tactical affair, Switzerland has every chance to assert his class and take out this Group 1 event.

Top Pick: Marhoona
Marhoona presents as the best value runner on the card.
On debut, she was heavily supported in the market and produced an eye-catching finish after chasing down a hot tempo.
The early speed in that race was brutal, making her effort even more impressive as she powered home to reel in the leaders.
With natural improvement and a favourable draw, she maps to enjoy an ideal run in transit.
If she gets the right breaks, she will be in the finish at big odds.
Top Pick: Mazu
Mazu is a key player in the Challenge Stakes, particularly if the rain arrives and the track softens further.
His first-up performance at Flemington was solid, considering he faced a strong headwind and was racing against some of the best sprinters in the country.
With Jason Collett taking the reins, he should enjoy a perfect run in transit and be ready to launch late.
