Daily Free Horse Racing Tips - Black Book Randwick

Written By Blake Johnston

How bloody good is it to see the best race the best.

Autumn Glow was a bit too sharp for Sheza Alibi over 1400m, but next time they meet is a mouthwatering prospect.

If, when, where is still well and truly up in the air.

For those of you that have stumbled across here by accident….

I am Blake Johnston, ex bookie turned punter who was crowned Australia’s Best Tipster in 2024 by The Great Tip Off - that’s an externally verified tipping site that tracks the results of every major media tipster.

Here are three horses that I reckon we can get some money out of next time we see them in the form guide.

MATUSALEM (Race 5) ran terrific third-up from a spell despite having the wide draw against. He began ok before being restrained to the back, he hit the line strongly against the race-shape to clock the best last 800m of the meeting. Further would be no problem.

PEMBREY (Race 7) was the win of the day outside of Autumn Glow for me. She worked hard early from the wide draw to lead at a fast tempo for the class, she still managed to accelerate and showed good late strength to clock an above average final sectional despite being eased down. Golden Rose or Flight Stakes the grand final?! At this stage I would back her in either.

SOVEREIGN HILL (Race 10) was very good winning second-up. He began well but wasn’t pushed in the early stages, he was held-up at a key stage but surged late to win. He can take up the running next time over 1400m and should only improve on that effort.

Cheers,

BJ
