Randwick serves up a quickfire seven-part program on the Kensington circuit this Wednesday afternoon, kicking off at 1:25pm Sydney time. The rail is out +3m the entire way around, and although the surface was rated a Heavy 9 at the time of acceptances, a sunny forecast leading into race-day should allow for an upgrade into the Soft range. Check out HorseBetting’s top tips and quaddie selections for the Kensington races on August 27, 2025.
Best Bet at Kensington: Grand Eagle
Grand Eagle returns after a 123-day spell and looks to continue where he left off at the end of his two-year-old season. The son of Farnan produced a stunning victory at Randwick on April 26, showing an exceptional turn of foot after settling last in the run. He appears to have greater ability than that of a BM72 galloper moving forward, and although the Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou-trained colt may have bigger fish to fry later in the spring, expect Grand Eagle to justify favouritism with horse racing bookmakers here.
Best Bet
Race 3 – #5 Grand Eagle (8)
3yo Colt | T: Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou | J: James McDonald (56.5kg)
Next Best at Kensington: Convergent
Convergent did enough when finishing within a length of Monkhana at Rosehill on August 16 and should appreciate stepping out to 1800m for the first time. The five-year-old appeared unsuited by the testing conditions last time out and should be a big improver on firmer footing. Adam Hyeronimus will go in search of the one-one from barrier five, and provided the pair can slot in for cover in the middle stages, Convergent should be surging over the top to claim his second win at start five.
Next Best
Race 4 – #5 Convergent (5)
5yo Gelding | T: Jim & Greg Lee | J: Adam Hyeronimus (58.5kg)
Best Value at Kensington: Siriusly Hot
Punters can be forgiving of Siriusly Hot after he failed to fire last preparation. The son of Too Darn Hot underwent a gelding operation in the offseason and looks to be back on track, hitting the line well in a couple of barrier trials at Gosford. Returning in maiden company should be ideal, and although Chad Schofield needs to navigate the sticky draw in gate 12, Siriusly Hot must be considered a major player.
Best Value
Race 1 – #8 Siriusly Hot (12)
3yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Chad Schofield (56kg)
