bet365's Pick 6 Challenge is up to $75,000 this Saturday 

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 they had one customer pick five winners, receiving the sole share of the $10,000 consolation prize. They also had 27 customers pick four winners, each earning a $186 share of the $5,000 minor prize.

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

Flemington Race 5 - Frances Tressady Stakes @ 2.30pm - 1400m 

Wishlor Lass (3) resumes and if she's ready to go, she looks the one to beat. She made great strides last preparation, winning three in a row before starting $14 in the Group 1 Empire Rose and running a solid sixth to Pride Of Jenni. Group class mare who will take catching. Revolutionary Miss (1) has found form of late, winning two in a row before placing in a Magic Millions race last time. Can land on the back of the speed and sprint over the top. Vagrant (4) is flying of late, winning three in a row. Harder again here but is hard to knock otherwise. Eternal Flame (10) has always promised plenty and delivered last time with a dominant 4-length win. Looks capable of measuring up to these. Fortunate Kiss (7) could surprise at big odds.

Flemington Race 6 - The TAB Vanity @ 3.05pm - 1400m 

Mollynickers (2) is a good filly who looks well placed here. She was last seen starting $5.50 in the Group 1 Flight Stakes and running on strongly for 4th. That's better than anything in this field has done and the 1400m first up looks ideal. Infatuation (1) is up and running, winning a good BM78 in Sydney last start. She's run well enough around this level in the past and is going better. French Endeavour (6) might be the best value. She was even first up in an on-pace dominated race. She did run 4th to Tiz Invincible in a strong fillies race last time in and can improve sharply out to 1400m here. Donegal (7) is undefeated from two starts and looks progressive. Resumed with a smart win at the midweeks and could measure up. Material Dreams (5) was good in the Listed Black Pearl last time and rates an each-way chance.

Flemington Race 7 - CS Hayes Stakes @ 3.40pm - 1400m 

King Colorado (2) clearly on top. He resumed with an eye-catching second in the G3 Manfred Stakes, charging late over 1200m. He was heavily backed to win the G1 Golden Rose over this distance last time in and is already a G1 winner. Rates highly. Otago (7) is a progressive type who is undefeated from two starts. He ran some smart sectionals to win here last time and has won a trial easily since. It's a big jump, but it wouldn't surprise if he measured up. Verdad (9) was last seen running in the VRC Derby when fifth. His best form is over a mile where he ran Guineas winner Griff within a neck. He maps for a nice run and is suited by this trip. Amigo (10) is a nice type who did well in the Manfred and can place. Hey Fat Cat (11) comes here on the backup having run soundly in the G2 Autumn Stakes.

Randwick Race 7 - Petaluma Apollo Stakes @ 4:00PM - 1400m 

King Charles III Stakes winner Fangirl (8) resumes from a three-and-a-half month break with excellent first-up figures over this course and trip. Expected to get the right tempo today and fitted with two searching trials. Hard to hold out. Multiple Group 1 winner Militarize (10) resumes after having no luck when eighth in the G1 Cox Plate over 2040m at Moonee Valley last October. Undefeated this trip and two recent trials suggest he's come back in good order. Multiple Group 1 winner Think It Over (1) came to the end of his prep when a plugging sixth over 1600m in the G1 King Charles III Stakes at this track on October 14. Looks to have returned well after two strong trials and don't underestimate. Buckaroo (4) former import back for second Australian prep. Both trials suggest he can hold a forward position and give plenty of cheek.

Randwick Race 8 - Light Fingers Stakes @ 4.35pm - 1200m 

Group 3 winner Mumbai Muse (4) resumes after winning two-in-a-row last time in and can continue where she left off today. Maps to get the dream run and two recent trials were sound. Go close. Multiple Group 2 winner Tiz Invincible (2) resumes after winning three on end early last prep before struggling when ninth over 1200m in the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington on November 4. Looks primed for return with two slick trial wins but will need a good ride from the wide gate. Group 2 winner Kristilli (5) is fitter after one run back when flashing late to secure fourth over 1200m at Rosehill on February 3. Has the right figures to win this and looks great each-way value. Group 2 winner Learning To Fly (3) returns from an 11 month spell after dislodging Chad Schofield in the Golden Slipper last March. Has looked dynamic in her two trial wins but the map looks ugly. Watch for her late.

Randwick Race 9 - Ranvet Handicap @ 5:15PM - 1600m 

Estadio Mestalla (5) has come back in good order this time in and fourth-up today from the inside gate. Sat on the speed and showed plenty of fight when a neck winner over 1500m at Rosehill on February 3. Has a good record at the mile and carries weight well. Will take stopping. Redstone Well (7) third-up today and won third-up in the past. Taken back in the small field and warmed up late when second over the mile here on January 27. Looks the main danger with J Mac back on. Logan Street Lion (3) encouraging return with the 58.5kg when ran on late to run fourth behind Estadio Mestalla over 1500m at Rosehill on February 3. Well placed at the weights and can play a leading role. Miracle Spin (9) holding form well this time in and kept fresh for this. Won here two back before going to Melbourne in stronger grade when fifth over 1600m at Flemington on January 13. Kept up to the mark when third in a recent 1200m trial here on February 8.
