bet365's Pick 6 Challenge is up to $100,000 this Saturday 

Leading bookmaker bet365 are putting $100,000 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 seven customers pick five winners, receiving $1,429 each of the $10,000 consolation prize. They also had 183 customers pick four winners, splitting the $5,000 minor prize.

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.

Flemington Race 5 - Yulong Newmarket Handicap @ 12.45pm - 1200m 

The Group 1 Newmarket Handicap. Buenos Noches (3) looks to get in well at the weights. His run in the Champions Sprint before a spell was excellent, beaten half a length by Imperatriz, meeting her 4.5kg better. He was in a different postcode at the turn first up and couldn't have done much more. Imperatriz (1) is far and away the best horse in the race. She proved too good in the G1 Lightning Stakes first up and has the class to win again, 58kg and all. Magic Time (6) went to the paddock a G1 winner. She's a top mare who gets in nicely here and looks very capable of measuring up. Sghirripa (12) missed the start in the Oakleigh Plate and ran on well. His win here prior was very good and he gets in on the minimum. Bella Nipotina (2) is a classy mare who can win this at her best.

Flemington Race 6 - Kewney Stakes @ 1.20pm - 1600m 

Mollynickers (6) drew wide and hit the line strongly first up in the G3 Vanity, running third. She steps up to the mile now having run very well in the G1 Flight Stakes over this trip in the Spring. Draws better here and will take beating. Grinzinger Belle (4) won the Vanity first up, setting a strong speed in front and taking all honours. No issues with a mile, if she gets a cheap lead she'll go close. Autumn Angel (5) didn't have much luck first up in the G2 Angus Armanasco. She's far better suited up in trip and will be hard to hold out. French Endeavour (9) hit the line well in the Vanity and is another suited out to a mile. So Glamorous (8) was given a quiet ride from a wide gate in the Armanasco and can improve.

Flemington Race 8 - Matron Stakes @ 2.30pm - 1600m 

Unusual Culture (3) is going well and sets up nicely here. The 1800m last time was perhaps a bridge too far against some G1 performed horses but she should land in a great spot here for Jamie Kah from barrier 6. Eternal Flame (10) looks ideally suited out to a mile now. She's hit the line strongly of late and whilst she'll get back again, if she has a back to follow she'll be hard to hold out. Foxy Cleopatra (6) was disappointing in the Peter Young last start when in the market but was very good at Caulfield prior. Can improve sharply. Foxy Frida (1) was very good first up in the G3 Tressady behind an in-form mare. Suited to this trip second up and loves it here. Running By (5) next best.

Randwick Race 5 - UNSW Todman Stakes @ 2.50pm - 1200m 

Switzerland (6) remains unbeaten after two runs and drawn to get all the map favours today. J Mac keeps the ride after rounding them up effortlessly when a solid winner of the Pierro over 1100m here on February 17. Ready for the 1200m now and looks the value play. Group 3 winner Espionage (5) stalked the good speed on resumption when a sound second to Straight Charge over 1100m in the G2 Silver Slipper Stakes at Rosehill on February 24. Has the ability to turn the tables today over the 1200m. Go close. Group 2 winner Straight Charge (3) is building a nice record and showed good speed from the wide gate when leading throughout in the G2 Silver Slipper Stakes over 1100m at Rosehill. Final 50m the only query today. Group 3 winner Bodyguard (4) is undefeated in two runs and created a big impression when resuming with a dominant victory over 1100m in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) at Caulfield on February 10. Has reportedly overcome an injury setback and market moves must be monitored.

Randwick Race 8 - The Agency Randwick Guineas @ 4.35pm - 1600m 

Golden Rose Stakes winner Militarize (1) resumed over 1400m last time out behind Fangirl when hit the line late to run second in the G2 Apollo Stakes at this track. Goes just as well second-up and ready for this trip and further now. Hard to hold out. Spring Champion Stakes winner Tom Kitten (2) is third-up here after drifting back before closing off nicely when fifth over 1400m in the G2 Hobartville Stakes at Rosehill on February 24. Ready for the mile now and will be powering late. Group 2 winner Celestial Legend (3) is a progressive Dundeel colt with an exciting future. Showed a good turn of foot when a slick 2 len winner over 1400m in the G2 Hobartville Stakes at Rosehill second-up. First time at the mile today and will need a good ride from the outside gate. Group 2 placegetter Les Vampires (6) will go forward again with stablemate Ganbare after sticking on well when third in the G2 Hobartville Stakes last time out. Trip shouldn't pose a problem and can sneak into the minor money.

Randwick Race 9 - Mostyncopper Aspiration Quality @ 5.15pm - 1600m 

Group 2 placegetter Osmose (3) resumes from a spell after finishing off last prep with a gritty second in the G2 Matriarch over 2000m at Flemington on November 11. Since fitted with two searching trials and will prove hard to run down with the blinkers added. Group 3 winner Lekvarte (4) is racing in a rich vein of form and has sound figures this track and trip. Resumed with an even fifth over 1300m in the G2 Millie Fox Stakes at Rosehill on February 24. Will drift back and launch late. Howgoodareyou (12) tough mare who will get plenty of on-speed favours here third-up. Unsuited over the shorter trip when tenth over 1300m in the G2 Millie Fox Stakes at Rosehill last time out. Desperate for the mile and looks up to this. Group 3 winner Thalassophile (1) made a solid return when finished off late to secure fifth over 1400m at Rosehill in the Jamesruse Bm100 on February 24. Ready for the mile now and will need luck from the sticky gate.
