Randwick   13 Mar 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

RANVET HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Good speed anticipated with a large number of first starters lining up. I Am Invincible colt INVINCIBLE PHANTOM (3) lines up for the first time. Two trials have been impressive, winning both with a bit to spare. The one to beat if that form crosses over to race day. Time To Reign debutant MY MATE ELVIS (5) bolted in at Warwick Farm at his only trial to date. Wide gate not convenient but he looks above average. CANAL (10) has not raced since a mediocre fourth on debut over this distance at Bendigo in November. Two subsequent trials should have him ready to run well. Recent Randwick trial winner KISSAVOS (4) is one to keep tabs on at his first race start. Written Tycoon colt GRAND PRAIRIE (2) has improved at each trial appearance and can play a role without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Invincible Phantom looks smart and is worth the gamble on debut.
