Lyle Chandler’s Rapbidash has paid the penalty for maximum consistency and a massive run in the Newhaven Park Country Championships Final but still represents value as the TAB Highway series resumes at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Trainer Lyle Chandler will give promising mare Rapbidash at least two chances to earn a spot in the Newhaven Park Hunter & North West Country Championships but hopes she’ll need only one in Saturday’s TAB Highway (1200m) at Randwick.

Warwick Farm-based trainer Matthew Smith can maintain his upwards trajectory when he sends a talented quartet to Scone Race Club meeting next Tuesday.

Lyle Chandler is hoping Banju can defy the history books and land his hometown Cup.

Trainer Lyle Chandler has his eye firmly on next month’s Scone Cup with his stable star Banju so he’d like to lay a strong foundation with a good fresh performance in the $200,000 Tamworth City Toyota Tamworth Cup (1400m) on Friday.
