    The $101 Multi | All Aged Stakes & Champagne Stakes Preview | Randwick Carnival Day 3

    Blake Johnston is joined by AFL and Port Adelaide legend Ryan Burton for Day 3 of the Randwick Carnival. One Group 1 on the card — but we're hunting a $101 multi.We cover the All Aged Stakes and the Champagne Stakes in full, break down every runner, and build our multi leg by leg.ALL AGED STAKES (1400m)A wide open race — but one horse stands out as the value play. Giga Kick has the class but does he need the sting out of the track? Jimmysstar has been inconclusive this prep. Angel Capital gets James McDonald for the first time and is desperate for the rise to 1400m. Fangirl is over the odds at double figures. And Beiwacht — flying, maps perfectly, back to 1400m for the first time since his Golden Rose demolition. He's the one.CHAMPAGNE STAKESCan Campione D'Italia stamp himself as the only dual G1 winner of the two-year-old crop? Miss Chanel never runs a bad race — wide draw but strong late. Fireball keeps chasing home his stablemate — can the low draw help him turn the tables? And Southend — two from two and unbeaten. How good is he? We find out Saturday.Full analysis. Form. Value plays. And a $101 multi. 🐎#AllAgedStakes #ChampagneStakes #HorseRacing #RandwickCarnival #RacingAustralia

    BIG AUTUMN ENERGY

    We are back ahead of a massive weekend of Group One racing — Woodhead, BJ, Lloydy, Pat and special guest Luke Hilton (Racing Manager for Bjorn Baker Racing) in the studio.We run through the big headlines from the week including Treasurethe Moment’s defeat as a hot favourite, Godolphin’s resurgence at the elite level, and the Doncaster weight allotted to Autumn Glow - fair rating or hype tax?Then (in between putting shit on each other) we dive straight into the key races.At Randwick we break down the Guy Walter Stakes and try to find a bet in a tricky market, debate whether Tempted can turn a dominant first-up win into a maiden Group One in the Surround Stakes, and assess whether the short-priced favourite in the Verry Elleegant Stakes is simply a put-in take-out job given the trainer’s extraordinary record in the race.Down at Flemington, it’s all eyes on the Australian Guineas — speed maps, pressure and whether the in-form leader can control it or a popular contender can land his first at the top level.The Leg Up — ready for a huge weekend.🔗 USEFUL LINKS:• Join our members area (40% OFF): http://bit.ly/TLU-Members• Follow us on Betfair: http://bit.ly/TLU_Betfair• Website: https://thelegupaustralia.com📧 Business enquiries: [email protected] Are You Really Gambling With?For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au#TheLegUp#HorseRacing#Group1#GroupOneRacing#AustralianRacing#Randwick#Flemington#AustralianGuineas#SurroundStakes#VerryElegantStakes#AutumnGlow#TreasureTheMoment#Tempted#Godolphin#DoncasterHandicap#RacingDebate#Punters#RacingPodcast#SportsPodcast#BettingPodcast#Punting#WeekendPreview#RacingTips
