TJ Smith Stakes Form Guide & Tips
(1) I Wish I Win (Best Each Way – $4.00)
I Wish I Win hasn’t had an ideal preparation for his return following an unlucky second placing in The Everest.
Being fresh up in this race makes it tough, but the former Kiwi is all class, and that should take him close on Saturday.
(2) Private Eye ($23.00)
He’s not racing at his best this season, and that’s why we can’t have him in our selections.
He needs a lot of things to go his way.
(3) Mazu ($17.00)
He’s another runner who could be past his best. There is always solid betting support for him, but it’s not smart money.
(4) Coal Crusher ($51.00)
Having good barrier speed is a bonus, but he’s a few lengths behind the best thoroughbreds in this race.
Look for him to win against an easier field.
(5) Aft Cabin ($19.00)
That was a disappointing run last time out, and we don’t think he’s a great sprinter.
We would like to see him over the mile, where he has more time to settle.
(6) Buenos Noches ($35.00)
He ran at short odds earlier this preparation, and we’re not sure why.
He’s a three-race winner coming up against the best in the land, and we can’t see him figuring in the finish.
(7) Johnny Rocker ($23.00)
There was a lot to like about his placing behind Imperatriz, but that run was well beyond his best.
Repeating that effort could be too much for him in the T.J. Smith Stakes.
(8) Imperatriz (Best Bet – $3.20)
She had plenty of excuses when second behind Cylinder two back, but she got back to her best with a win at The Valley.
The champion Kiwi is the worthy favourite of this race, and she’s the one they have to beat, despite seeing Randwick for only the second time.
(9) Bella Nipotina ($14.00)
She has enough talent to beat this field, but she doesn’t win races all that often. She’s a first four chance at best.
(10) Espiona ($17.00)
She will get back in the run and hit the line with power. That’s a good asset to have if she keeps in touch and has a clean run at them.
The odds are good enough to entertain.
(11) Sunshine in Paris ($8.00)
Seven starts for four wins and three placings, so she’s a consistent type at this level.
Her second placing behind Zapateo was good, but that’s a couple of lengths behind the best in this field.
(12) Cylinder ($31.00)
That was a nice win two back when beating Imperatriz. Better suited down the straight, and we can’t find room for him.
(13) Magic Time (Best Roughie – $15.00)
We’re happy to include her in selections, and she’s better going this way around.
She owns three starts at Randwick for a win and two placings, and getting the inside draw adds to her appeal.
(14) Chain of Lightning ($21.00)
She got back to winning form at Rosehill, but we can’t see her winning again.
(15) Willinga Beast ($126.00)
Big odds and she would need to find many lengths.
