π₯ The Mailbag Preview Show is back for Episode 313! Dicko, Pete & Scuz dive into a massive Saturday of racing, with the spotlight on Randwick & Flemington. Weβve got Group 1s, form lines to debate, and plenty of punting angles to dig into. Expect strong opinions, sharp analysis, and the usual dose of banter.
π Epsom Handicap (Randwick, Race 8)
Everyoneβs talking about Autumn Glow β social media has christened her βBaby Winx.β The big question: can she keep the unbeaten streak alive from a wide barrier?
- Autumn Glow chasing unbeaten streak from wide draw
- Ceolwulf back to proven tactics, seen as a danger
- Famous roll call of winners: Ceolwulf (2024), Rediener, Kovalica, Winx (2015)
π Turnbull Stakes (Flemington, Race 8)
The Turnbull is stacked β nine Group 1 winners in the one field. Thatβs as deep as it gets this time of year.
Via Sistina, the defending champ, is the one punters canβt agree on β some reckon sheβs right back in form, others not convinced.
- Nine G1 winners clash in one of the deepest Turnbulls in years
- Via Sistina defending her crown β divided opinions on her form
- Honour roll: Via Sistina (2024), Gold Trip, Winx, Verry Elleegant, Incentivise
π Gilgai Stakes (Flemington, Race 9)
The Gilgai buzz is all about the Flemington straight β punters reckon you either love it or hate it, and itβs a big factor here.
Stretan Angel is getting some love for consistency, and La Fracas keeps popping up in punting threads as the one who might break through.
- Flemington straight form the key talking point
- Stretan Angel backed for her consistency, La Fracas the βsmokeyβ
- Past winners: Right To Party (2024), Star Patrol (2023), Private Eye (2022)
π Danehill Stakes (Flemington, Race 6)
Plenty of chat about Tentyris β the Freedman colt looks fit and ready to fire, and punters are keen to see if he can measure up against some serious opposition. The Danehillβs always a key straight-track sprint for the 3-year-olds, and everyoneβs already calling it the springboard into the Coolmore. Itβs not just about Saturday, itβs about what these colts might be worth as stallions if they deliver here.
- Tentyris being tipped as a major threat after a strong prep
- Danehill seen as the lead-in to the Coolmore Stud Stakes and stallion-making races
- Famous winners include First Settler, Stretan Angel, Giga Kick, Sepoy, Black Caviar, Fastnet Rock
