Saturday Horse Racing Tips & Best Bets [May 27, 2023]

Gunstock (2) was terrific winning over 1600m on resumption, surging late to run down Keats. He stepped up to 2000m when second-up last campaign and romped home by 3L after coming across from a wide gate. He handles all conditions and will take plenty of beating here.Randwick R7 No.14 Iowna MercIowna Merc (14) is an interesting horse. Interesting in as much as he is one of those horses that we don't know what his ceiling is yet. He went through his grades very quickly last preparation and the fact that it was his first preparation adds considerable merit. Wow, what awesome trials too.Eagle Farm R8 No.4 RothfireEagle Farm has always been Rothfire (4)'s track and he showed great heart to beat them all in the Victory Stakes here last start. He has come back in good order, will get a soft run behind the likely leader Eduardo (1) and with Blake Shinn will be hard to get past late.BEST VALUE

Sandown R7 No.3 Mr Exclusive

Mr Exclusive (3) has never been one of mine but he looks over the odds here at $20 in an even race. He ran a cracker first-up over 1200m at monster odds and is much better suited at 1400m. He went very close at Listed level over this distance three-back.Randwick R5 No.6 Cross The RubiconIf there is a horse that deserves, or is closer, to a win more at Randwick on Saturday than Cross The Rubicon (6), let us know. She was famously unlucky in the Provincial Midway Final. Would she have won if she hadn't blown the start? Hard to say. Was huge late again on the Kenso last start.A lottery for mares seeking to boost their broodmare value. A good gate and suitable trip will help Juan Diva (3) which was only run down late when last here over 1300m. She has been finding it tough at recent outings but goes best when allowed to run along near the speed. With the crossover nose band off, Jason Collett can go forward and be hard to pass.
