Leading bookmaker bet365 are putting $75,000 on the line for any logged-in member who correctly selects the winners of six specified races across the Flemington and Royal Randwick cards this weekend.

There are also consolation prize pools of $10,000 to be split amongst those who tip five winners and $5,000 for those who 'only' pick four. 

Last week there were also 23 customers picking five winners sharing the $10,000 prize and 271 customers picked four winners splitting the minor prize of $5,000.

The six featured races are outlined below with the R&S team providing pre-race previews to give you a head start on the form.

 

Rosehill Race 6 - Group 3 Maurice McCarten Stakes over 1100-metres

Tough race! Multiple Group 3 placegetter HARD TO SAY (5) is racing in a rich vein of form and best figures are over this trip. Chased hard when third over 1300m in the G3 Liverpool City Cup at Randwick on March 2. At his top now and can launch late with the solid tempo anticipated. Group 3 placegetter AIRMAN (1) resumes after finally putting it all together last time in. Has a dynamite first-up record and worth noting J Mac takes the ride after his strong trial placing over 900m here on March 1. Look for him charging late. OMNI MAN (7) indicated he was close to his top when chased hard with the 59kg when second over 1100m at this track on February 24. Can stalk the hot speed again and play a leading role. RED CARD (4) undefeated this track and goes equally as well second-up. Raced on the speed and cleared out late when a sharp winner over this track and trip on February 24. Since fitted with a recent 1000m trial win on March 11 and clearly pleasing the stable.

 

Rosehill Race 7 - Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes over 1500-metres 

Group 3 placegetter MAKARENA (14) has come back just as well this prep and looks set to peak third-up. Worked hard from the wide gate and knocked up late when fifth over 1400m in the G1 Surround Stakes at Randwick on March 2. Ready for the 1500m now and should be able to get across with cover. Go close. Group 2 placegetter LES VAMPIRES (2) is a strong on-pace colt on the quick back-up after running a close eighth over 1600m at Randwick in the G1 Guineas last Saturday. Has fitness on his side and will prove hard to catch. SALTCOATS (5) second-up today and comes off a 42-day let-up. Loomed up to win when a narrow second over 1350m here on February 3. Since fitted with a recent 1045m trial and gets his chance from the gate. TUTTA LA VITA (12) returned at ($101) from a four month spell with a surprise third over 1400m in the G1 Surround Stakes at Randwick on March 2. Wide gate will make it tough and look for her late.

 

Caulfield Race 8 - All-Star Mile over 1600-metres

RACE 8 - The All-Star Mile, where MR BRIGHTSIDE (1) is looking for back-to-back wins in the rich race. He's going as well as ever, winning both Group 1 races over 1400m to start the campaign and will only improve again out to a mile third-up. He's a star galloper- close to the best horse in the country and deserves to be in the red. PRIDE OF JENNI (12) looks the logical danger. She beat Mr Brightside in the Champions Mile last campaign but he ran her down first up in the CF Orr. There looks enough pressure here which means she's unlikely to get her own way, but he wouldn't want to give her too big a start. CASCADIAN (2) is a top horse at his best, charging into second behind Mr B in this last year. He'll love a fast-run mile here and looks a decent place bet. DESERT LIGHTNING (8) is an NZ raider who beat Legarto at Ellerslie two back. A big run wouldn't shock.

 

Rosehill Race 8 - Group 1 Coolmore Classic over 1500-metres

 Group 1 placegetter JENNILALA (16) is a progressive mare who won't know herself with 51kg. Returned with a slick on-pace win over 1400m at Flemington with 59kg on February 17. Since fitted with a searching 1200m trial at Randwick. Kept fresh and will take catching. Flight Stakes winner ZOUGOTCHA (1) resumed with a well-deserved on-pace victory over 1300m in the G2 Millie Fox Stakes at this track on February 24. Just as effective second-up and undefeated this trip. Gets her chance from the gate. Group 2 winner KIMOCHI (17) is a classy filly who has the ability to take this out. Warmed up late when seventh over 1400m in the G1 Surround Stakes at Randwick on March 2. Likely to go forward from the sticky gate and prove hard to hold out. Multiple Group 2 winner REVOLUTIONARY MISS (2) has a fitness edge over most of these and chasing her third straight victory. Stalked the speed with the 59kg when a dominant winner over 1400m in the G3 Mannerism Stakes at Caulfield last start. Can win again.

 

Caulfield Race 9 - Country Mile Series Final over 1600-metres

RACE 9 - Won't find many more open races than this. Genuinely every one of the 16 can win. DASHING DUCHESS (7) has more upside than any of them and looks nicely placed coming off a first-up win at Ballarat over this trip. She'll want further in time but is only second-up and they should go a strong clip in the big field. SIR ATLAS (1) carries top weight off a narrow win at Terang. He's won 4/6 career starts and rates highly. UNSEEN RULER (6) has had two runs back from a spell, only beaten a head by Sir Atlas last time at Terang. Drawn very wide but Kah takes the ride and she'll be charging late. SAINT LAZARE (9) is coming off a win at Pakenham over 1400m. This is a bit harder but the rise to a mile should suit and he can get a good run. DEFIANT DIVA (11) looks one of a dozen each-way chances.

 

Rosehill Race 9 - Group 2 Ajax Stakes over 1500-metres

RACE 9 - AMOR VICTORIOUS (13) promising miler who keeps raising the bar at each outing. Faces his stiffest assignment today after gapping is rivals by 3 lens at Randwick over 1600m on February 10. Since fitted with a recent 900m trial and will give them something to catch on the limit. Group 3 placegetter GLORY DAZE (11) has returned even stronger this prep and will relish the sharp weight drop after scoring a dominant 2.25 len as fav over 1600m at Randwick on January 27. Races best with runs spaced and looks one of the top chances. Group 3 placegetter PALMETTO (7) went forward on resumption and loomed strongly when a narrow third over 1400m at this track on February 24. Smart on his day and this is his pet trip. Group 3 winner WELWAL (8) resumed at good odds when a swooping head winner here over 1400m on February 24. Goes just as well second-up and looks well in at the weights.
