Welcome to From the Trader’s Desk, a new weekly article by our betr racing traders taking you through the weekend’s racing. Previewing the headline races of the week, where the biggest bets have been struck, and which way the market is likely to gravitate to help you find more winners.<\/p>\n

Race of the Week<\/h2>\n

Missile Stakes – Randwick Race 8 – 1200m G2<\/h3>\n

The Group 2 Missile Stakes headlines this week’s card from Randwick as some of the better sprinters resume. Angel Capital is the headline horse here first up off two smart trials. The quality in the field is obvious. A smaller field aids his chances and he gets every possible assist with a sympathetic map.<\/p>\n

Gangsta Granny the second elect and one happy to oppose. Looks short enough here, clearly with map advantage, but has to take on the boys and will likely cop early pressure. Midnight Dynamite is interesting stepping back from 1500m to the six. Absolutely flying and boasts race fitness over rivals. Napoleonic and Ninja are ones to keep for another day.<\/p>\n

How to Play It:<\/strong> Angel Capital sets up well here and I would assume all systems go with him in wanting to target some better races this Spring. Midnight Dynamite making a small winner.<\/p>\n

3 Units – Angel Capital @ $2.60<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

0.5 Units – Midnight Dynamite @ $9.00<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Traders’ Plays<\/h2>\n

The betr traders’ best bets for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Randwick<\/h3>\n

Race 1 – Bangkok Hottie<\/h4>\n

Loved the way this filly went out with two dominant wins, oozing a bit of style. Resumes here off no public trials in what looks a very winnable benchmark race. Any luck from the draw and I think she’ll be winning.<\/p>\n

5 Units – Bangkok Hottie @ $2.20<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Race 5 – Kenmare Bay<\/h4>\n

Good in both runs back and should be set to peak here third up onto the bigger track. Senior rider goes on from the good draw. Good each way bet.<\/p>\n

1 Unit Win \/ 3 Units Place – Kenmare Bay @ $8.50 \/ $2.80<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Race 6 – Zouripper<\/h4>\n

Back and wide last week on a day where you had to be inside. Quick back up and draws inside in a race that looks up for grabs. Hopefully stalks and saves for one last shot at them.<\/p>\n

1 Unit – Zouripper @ $6.50<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
