The Randwick Racecourse will host a top day of racing this Saturday as the $125,000 Group Three Missile Stakes (1200m) takes to the premier New South Wales track.
If you are looking to place a wager down on the 2010 Missile Stakes, or indeed any race due to jump this weekend then head to Sportsbet for your best odds on offer.
Despite drawing the wide barrier eight Tracey Bartlett is confident Sniper’s Bullet will provide big things this spring, starting with a win in the 2010 Missile Stakes.
The Bite The Bullet gelding will pair with champion jockey Blake Shinn for the race, and will see his biggest competition for the honours in barriers three and five.
Danleigh (barrier three) and Newport (barrier five) are the only two fellow Group One winners to jump on Saturday alongside Sniper’s Bullet.
Neither have had any dazzling sprints recently, although the 2010 Missile Stakes could provide the perfect opportunity for the starters to up the pace ahead of bigger features in the spring.
Another notable starter, and one keen punters should keep an eye on is Cannonball in barrier four.
Trained by Gai Waterhouse, the six-year-old is expected to star in the big features this spring and his campaign will jump this Saturday in the 2010 Missile Stakes.
Also taking place on Saturday at the Sydney racetrack is the $125,000 Group Three San Domenico Stakes (1000m), along with another six great races. So to check out all your options when it comes to betting on this weekend’s races, make sure you head to Sportsbet.
