Australian Guineas Form Guide & Tips
1. Riff Rocket (Best Bet – $2.35)
Riff Rocket is one of the more promising types in Australia, and his win last time out was impressive.
With five wins from eight starts, and quality breeding behind him, he has every chance of landing the huge Group 1 victory.
2. Veight (Best Each Way – $7.50)
Veight ran fourth behind Mr Brightside last time out, which is open handicap form against the best horses in Australia.
Dropping to age group racing is ideal, and we thought his odds would be much shorter than $7.50, so he goes into our picks.
3. King Colorado ($7.50)
He hit the line nicely last time out when second behind Riff Rocket.
That form bodes well for the Australian Guineas, and we expect him to be fighting in the finish once again.
4. Apulia ($35)
Fresh up form reads well but he needs to find a length or two to be competitive against this company.
5. Zipaway ($20)
Money has come for the son of Playing God, who has been racing in Perth with good consistency. That form doesn’t always bode well in Melbourne, so we’re leaving him out of our selections.
6. Cap Ferrat ($51)
He’s not running well enough to consider in this race. Look for him in something much easier.
7. The Pendragon ($27)
The New Zealand runner scored three consecutive wins before placing behind Orchestral last time out.
That form has been franked, and the Kiwis know how to win the Australian Guineas, so he can’t be ruled out.
8. Run Harry Run ($67)
Ended last campaign with three consecutive wins. Didn’t fire fresh up, and he might need more time this preparation.
9. Sunsets ($51)
He can be a touch one-paced at times, which isn’t ideal for this race. The odds tell the story.
10. Verdad ($20)
A solid staying type who is much better than a one-win runner. Better to back him later this autumn.
11. Snow Patrol ($13)
Resumed a winner at Caulfield when beating Southport Tycoon by a nose.
There has been solid betting support for him, and he could enter first four calculations.
12. Southport Tycoon ($12)
Second behind Veight and Snow Patrol in two runs this preparation.
There’s not much wrong with that form, but there are so many superstars in this race, we can’t find room for him.
13. Otago (Best Roughie – $19)
Started his career with consecutive wins before running fourth behind Riff Rocket.
Better for that experience, and we’re happy with the current odds available.
14. Hey Fat Cat ($27)
He goes forward and takes some catching, but he could get tired towards the end of the Australian Guineas.
15. Quintessa ($23)
The Kiwi filly won well two back before finishing fourth behind Bonny Lass at Group 1 level.
Always respect runners from the Te Akau stable, but we can’t find room for her in our selections.
16. Vieste ($201)
Not running nearly well enough to be competitive at the top level.
17. Mah Ali ($151)
Second fresh up at Canterbury, and that form isn’t good enough.
