Betting Tips: Early Market Movers at Sandown and Randwick 25/1/25

It was a massive fill-up for our Market Mover followers last week with three winners at Rosehill.

We kicked it off early with Swift Charm getting the cash at $14.40 before Tajanis ($4.60) and Perfumist ($2.90) completed the romp.

This week strong betting moves have been identified at both Sandown and Randwick, with punters gearing up for an exciting Australia Day long weekend.

At Sandown, the Patrick and Michelle Payne stable appears to have multiple runners primed.

While at Randwick, connections of an imported Annabel Neasham runner are keen to secure a return on their investment.

Sandown Tips

Porter

This lightly raced 4YO (14:3-4-2) boasts an excellent strike rate, rarely finishing out of the money.

His last-start win at Sale was impressive, where he controlled the race from the front and kicked away to score decisively as a well-supported favourite ($2.50).

From the wide draw (gate 10), expect them to push forward again and attempt to lead, a pattern that suits his racing style.

If he can secure the front, he’s the one to beat.

Fickle

A progressive runner for the Dabernig yard, Fickle has been winning with authority and racing as if she’s ready for more.

This high-profile ownership group will expect results and her tactical speed allows her to position wherever necessary.

In the small field, she’s likely to roll forward and control the race.

If there’s any indication of a leader bias early in the program, I expect her price to shorten further.

She’ll have every chance to run them along and notch another win.

Smokin Princess

This talented mare from the Payne stable has been flying this preparation, winning 2 of her 3 starts.

She was unlucky not to remain undefeated after a luckless second-up effort at Pakenham, where she got too far back.

Already well-backed early, expect more money to arrive closer to start time.

With better positioning in the run, she looks well-placed to score again.

Band of Brothers

Now under the care of emerging trainer Dom Sutton, this runner represents a significant opportunity for the young conditioner to impress his influential owner.

Following an unlucky second at Geelong, Band of Brothers is expected to be fully wound up and ready to win.

With plenty at stake for both the trainer and connections, he’s a strong contender.

Randwick Tips

Don Diego De Vega

An imported galloper for Annabel Neasham, Don Diego De Vega has adapted well to Australian conditions, winning 1 of his 2 local starts.

The ownership group will be looking to recoup their significant investment and this race offers an ideal opportunity.

If more market support comes late, it’s a strong indicator that the stable expects him to perform.

Point and Shoot

Coming out of a tough run at Wyong, where he was trapped three-wide in a strong race, Point and Shoot is ready to improve significantly.

The horse has been well-backed in his recent starts, indicating he’s flying at home.

With Tim Clark now booked, connections aren’t leaving anything to chance.

Provided he gets a clear run, he’s a major player.

Cosmanova

This lightly raced mare has shown enough promise to warrant entry in this field for a leading syndicator.

Now third-up and looking for the step up to 1200m, she appears primed to deliver.

If she can settle just behind the speed, tracking Bonita Queen, she’ll be ready to present late and fight out the finish.

Headley Grange

This progressive galloper delivered a dominant win last start, where he always appeared to have the race under control.

Now stepping into stronger metro grade, Headley Grange looks more than capable of handling the rise.

A backmarker by nature, the Randwick track suits his style perfectly, providing plenty of space to wind up late.

With further improvement likely, he’s one to watch as he continues his rise toward stakes-level races.
