Centennial Park is admired in the Missile Stks

We have the information for good racing around the country.

Randwick hosts the first Saturday meeting of new season.

SR1 - Not a great deal going on here with a small go on Lady La Douce ($10 to $8).

SR2 - Perhaps the best feeling early doors in this event was for Stellar Vinia from the Payne stable being $31 to $18.

SR3 - Two to look at here. Mumslad needs to lift but has been $7.50 to $5.50 while Angelican was $21 to $12.

SR4 - Longest race on the program has a relatively short priced elect but The Warrior Woman gets to more her trip now and has been $21 to $12. The stable mate Our Cannavaro was $7.50 to $6.50.

SR5 - Golden Rose lead up race The Rosebud should be a decent betting race with Road To Summer ($11 to $9.50) admired early. Later on Chivvy just needs more luck to be in the finish and was $6.50 to $5.

SR6 - Highlight of the card is the Missile Stks and there are several top young sprinters. But two elder statesman were specked when betting opened. Noted first upper Centennial Park has been $17 to $11 while the newcomer to NSW racing Here De Angels was $26 to $21. Midway through Friday the money started to come for Rain Affair ($2.80 to $2.40).

SR7 - Often mile races can be knockouts. Punters have had something on Whisperossa ($5 to $3.80) and country galloper Devised ($11 to $8) off two dominant wins.

SR8 - We see a wide open last race with Waterhouse's Magic Albert gelding Daintree Road ($6 to $5) the possible favourite. Yoburg ($11 to $8.50) and Crafty Irna ($15 to $11) have come in for support as well.

MR1 - A small field can be a dangerous practice but last start winner Sidecar was $3.60 to $3.10. There is also interest in Movie Mogul ($7.50 to $6.50).

MR2 - In a field of good last start performances, it has been Motorised ($4.80 to $4.20) and Club Command ($5.50 to $3.70) best tried. Mister Milton was later backed at $17 into $12.

MR3 - There was support last week for Bondarenko and after coming fifth she backs up being $5.50 to $3.30.

MR4 - Some fascinating entrants in this. Noble Park will probably need further in the long run but has been $6.50 to $4.40 first up. Two right out of the market with movement include Pacino ($26 to $12) and the former import Rebel Soldier ($61 to $21).

MR5 - There has been a big go in this. Chosen To Fly opened $16 but is all the way into $7.50. Some money coming for DiamondCowboy ($21 to $15).

MR6 - Big race is the Aurie's Star Hcp with a lot of stayers looking for further. New season 4yo Rekindled Interest could sprint well fresh and is $17 to $11. There has also been Miss Gai Flyer ($6 to $5.50) and Temple Of Boom ($8 to $7.50).

MR7 - Tough old event here but good interest on White Universe ($5.50 to $3.30) and Our Boy Lukas ($17 to $15) which is not surprising given their stables are often backed.

MR8 - Fairly quiet to date but Little Tycoon is $9 to $8 and at big odds Tasmanian Lady Snake ($101 to $81). Small move a day out for Fomalite ($17 to $15).

There is an interesting G3 sprint at Morphettville in the Spring Stks.

AR7 - Possibly a race in two with Moody's mare Avenue right in the betting but there has been good money for Kavanagh's Valentine Miss ($4.20 to $3.70).
