Betting Tips: Early Market Movers at Randwick & Bendigo 12/4/25

Our Early Market Movers continues to dominate with another 4 winners last Saturday.

That is now three winning weeks in a row at Randwick as we charge through the Autumn Carnival.

With plenty of racing action right across the country on Saturday we have again analysed the early betting moves at both key venues, to highlight the significant price-action.

At a rare stand-alone Saturday meeting at Bendigo, the Nick Ryan “betting disciples” have unleashed on one of the stable’s key runners who looks well suited second-up.

Whilst on Day 2 of the Championships at Randwick, a Kiwi 3YO has been well supported to win our Oaks, bringing with her the advantage of a last-start run at the 2400m distance.

As always, any further market push close to start time would add extreme confidence.

Bendigo Tips

St Vincent’s Garden

Shares high-profile ownership with Nick Williams and James Packer, who expect results.

Second-up and rising to 2400m looks ideal, particularly off the strong closing effort last start.

With Tom Prebble’s claim, he plummets to just 51.5kg and looks primed to peak with fitness now on his side.

Well-supported early.

Persian Spirit

Very strong fresh run (2nd at Warrnambool) and now steps to 1300m which is a clear positive.

The stable is sharp with placement and often land their plunges.

Barrier 20 looks tricky on paper, but they’d go back regardless.

With a genuine tempo and clean air late, expect him to charge home.

Port Albert

The big betting Nick Ryan stable love to load up first-up when ready and the early support says this is one of those set-ups.

Has 1 win, 3 placings from 5 fresh runs and is likely to be forward in condition.

Drawn out (gate 9) but has enough tactical speed to offset that and find a forward position, which could be key at Bendigo.

Smart money has arrived early.

Windstorm

Highly talented but hasn’t always had things go his way.

Flashed home last start to just miss and looks ready to win.

The Dean Yendall booking is a significant positive and aggressive tactics early may help him land closer.

Hard fit, big danger.

Randwick Tips

Lady Pankhurst

John Sargent-trained 2YO filly for Sir Owen Glenn, who doesn’t hand out horses lightly.

She was very good at Wyong last start and now looks ideally placed to take the next step.

Blake Shinn taking the ride is a big show of intent.

Don’t be surprised if she firmed significantly late.

Leica Lucy

Out-and-out stayer from NZ who comes here with the ideal profile, a last start win at 2400m in the NZ Oaks.

That experience and the grounding that comes with it will serve her well in what’s often a brutally run Australian Oaks.

Tough, fit and proven at the trip.

Key player.

Fangirl

Waller’s champion mare who looks to have this at her mercy.

She returns to Randwick (where she flies), maps ideally from gate 6, and should relish the set-up.

If there’s even tempo up front, she’ll be unleashing late.

Hard to tip against.

Estriella

Very talented filly who is starting to put it all together.

Draws ideally in gate 1, and with Blake Shinn aboard, expect her to trail the speed and peel late.

If the inside ground is holding up, she’ll be hard to stop with a soft run and the right tempo.

Key contender in the Group 2.
