Racing And Sports form analysts Ethan Perry and Trent Crebbin bring you a multi-bet including racing from all around Australia.
Without their fearless leader, Ethan and Trent are left to steer the ship and hopefully land some Christmas spoils. The boys have found a couple in Sydney to get the multi going, before looking to bring it home with a promising three-year-old in the 'time-honoured' Damien Oliver Gold Rush.
Randwick Race 6 #6 UNION ARMY – Place @ $2.25 with bet365*
Promising gelding set to return for the smart Ryan & Alexiou partnership. Only hit the winner's board once last prep (impressively too) but with a sprinkle of luck could've enjoyed a lot more success. Looks to have returned in great order off the back of sharp Rosehill trial win. Doesn't need to be at his best to be competitive here but will take plenty of stopping if he is.
Randwick Race 9 #4 SQUAD - Place @ $2.25 with bet365*
Smart Hawkes galloper resuming here who put up four strong performances last campaign which was his first as a gelding. He looks best suited kept to the short course and there's nothing between he and favourite Time To Boogie on our ratings. He'll roll forward and put himself on speed and shouldn't be far away in the finish.
Ascot Race 9 #16 RIPCORD - Place @ $2.50 with bet365*
Talented three-year-old who was a barnstorming winner two back and proved it was no fluke with a strong closing third in the Group 1 Winterbottom last start. Looks set to relish the 1400m now and won't need to improve to be right in the finish here. If he can manage to improve another length up in trip he'll take plenty of beating from a nice middle draw.
Wrap these selections together with our great friends at bet365 and you can get $12.65* for this combination.
*Prices correct as of 11:15am, December 15.
