With the Sydney Autumn carnival reaching its penultimate point, punters are out in force providing significant “clues” by executing early betting moves at both key venues.
At Mornington the Phillip Stokes camp have not missed one, who looks to receive some class respite and maps beautifully to sit just in behind the leading pair.
Whilst at Randwick on another big Group 1 day, pro punters are keen to back one in the feature race outside the favoured two of Manaal and Linebacker, which should make for an intriguing watch.

Mornington Tips
Arran Bay
Quality galloper who won well at Flemington last start after sitting close to the speed and proving too strong late.
He has found a slightly easier race here than recent runs and looks impeccably placed by Phillip Stokes.
From gate 4 they may let the speed go on this occasion and settle just in behind the leading pair, before presenting early in the straight to sweep home over the top.
Grid Girl
Was heavily backed late ($2.3 into $1.70) to win at Pakenham last start when managed to salute despite the tough run when caught wide.
Team Hayes is simply flying and the stable/jockey combination (Hayes/Baike Mc Dougoull) can be lethal hence this sets up well.
Given any luck in running here, she will be even stronger late and can go right on with it.
Pintoff
Has been absolutely flying since the recent stable change to Ciaron Maher Racing and is looking to chalk up the hat-trick here for the new stable.
The big yards pride themselves on improving horses that have been transferred to their care, and a third win in a row here will provide the stable with significant bragging rights!
The placement has been well studied and his recent work at home has been impressive since the last start win at Sandown.
Reo
Is from one of the most lethal betting yards you will ever see, where if the Laming’s decide to back one they rarely miss!
This is a long priced move in betting following a last start run (7 of 8) at Yarra Glen, which was inconclusive when he was in the market and possibly can be forgiven.
He must be showing them plenty at home and could be the big improver here.
Watch betting again late.
Randwick Tips
Always Sure
The stable is simply flying with Sara Ryan bringing a refreshing aspect to the training ranks and adopting effective techniques, with plenty of arena work applied to each horse.
He was unlucky at Rosehill first-up when never really clear and looked to have plenty more to offer.
Given more luck here and the added fitness second-up, it is no surprise the market hasn’t missed him, as he looks the big improver.
New Energy
Ciaron Maher import who was clearly unsuited by the 1500m in a hot Group 1 last start, when getting well back and sticking on well.
This appears a more suitable race where he is dropping way down in class and should relish the extra distance now out to 2000m.
If the speed goes on J Mac will be angling for clean air and steaming home late all over the top.
Broadsiding
Appears to be the emerging 2yo that looks most likely to dominate, now the current 2yo crop are reaching a testing 1600m distance.
He already has a mile win under his belt when winning here last start, which is an excellent base most of these lack.
With added fitness they can now ride the horse a touch closer in a mid-field position, applying pressure to a few of the vulnerable leaders from the 600m mark onward.
Still looks good value!
Encap
Quality galloper who has raced at a high-class level all the way through this preparation.
This is another deep race however she looks primed and dropping back in distance (1400m) again should be the key.
If the leaders go mad in front, she should be one of the strongest late and has the ability to upset a few of the more favoured runners here.
