Daily Racing Tips – Saturday, January 20

Flemington: Race 5 (2:30pm AEDT)

Race Starts in: Race Finished

Win

No. 4 Kin

J: Jamie Kah (59.5kg) T: James Cummings

Kin is a very talented galloper and strikes another very winnable race this afternoon.

The Impending mare is yet to strike in three runs back from a break, but there’s no doubt that she has improved, and she has been knocking on the door.

She’s a multiple placegetter down the Flemington straight and she has drawn to receive every chance under Jamie Kah.

Eagle Farm: Race 4 (2:58pm AEDT)

Race Starts in: Race Finished

Each Way

No. 10 Master Maurice

J: Ryan Maloney (58kg) T: Mark Currie

This race looks to be wide open and I thought that Master Maurice rated as a key winning chance at a price ($11 at publish).

Master Maurice has made just three appearances at the races since debuting, but he has stamped himself as one to follow by winning two of those and only just missing on the other occasion.

His fresh performance back from a break earlier this month was his best so far and I’m confident he’ll only improve for it.

Best of the day

Rosehill: Race 7 (4pm AEDT)

Race Starts in: Race Finished

Win

No. 2 Excelladus

J: Sam Clipperton (58kg) T: Joseph Pride

Excelladus was outstanding in a similar race at Randwick last time out and looks well placed to make it two in a row today.

The Joe Pride-trained galloper stripped fitter for a couple of decent efforts first and second up, each heralding fourth placings in BM78 company, before powering through to win a BM88 at his latest start.

He’s hard fit and will take beating again.

Rosehill: Race 10 (5:55pm AEDT)

Race Starts in: Race Finished

Win

No. 4 Centrestone

J: James Mcdonald (57.5kg) T: Chris Waller

I’m pretty keen on Centrestone in the last at Rosehill today.

Centrestone returned a winner in BM78 company up in Brisbane last month, before finishing a length off an impressive Midnight In Tokyo at Doomben.

1500m, James McDonald and an inside draw are all ticks, and she has performed well on a rain-affected track previously.
