Randwick serves up a competitive eight-part program on the Kensington circuit this Wednesday afternoon, with the rail set true for the day. The surface was rated a Heavy 9 at the time of acceptances, and with more light rainfall forecast in the lead-up, participants can be assured yielding ground come race-day. The opening race for the Randwick-Kensington meeting is scheduled to get underway at 12:50pm local time.
Best Bet at Kensington: Artistic Venture
Artistic Venture returns after a 151-day spell and brings an element of class to this maiden contest. She went winless in her two-year-old campaign but caught the eye on multiple occasions, including her last-start effort when travelling wide without cover in the Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m). Her two recent trials have been impressive, and with Zac Lloyd set to have the pair stalking from the one-one after drawing gate two, Artistic Venture gets the perfect setup to claim her first win at start five.

#1 Artistic Venture (2)
3yo Filly | T: John O’Shea & Tom Charlton | J: Zac Lloyd (61kg)
Next Best at Kensington: Tazima
Tazima looks to have settled nicely since arriving from the UK. The son of Awtaad relished the Heavy track in his latest effort at Warwick Farm on July 30, with the four-year-old narrowly headed by The Years as the pair produced a ding-dong battle in the concluding stages. Dropping back into this BM64 contest appears ideal third-up, and with the 3kg claim of apprentice hoop Siena Grima having Tazima well in at the weights, expect this guy to prove too classy for this lot.

#1 Tazima (7)

Best Value at Kensington: More Felons
Despite returning after a 501-day absence, the $15 about More Felons in the Premier’s Cup Prelude (1800m) seems too big to ignore. The son of Churchill was a long-standing favourite with horse racing bookmakers for the 2024 Sydney Cup (3200m) before suffering a setback after finishing runner-up in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m). His barrier trials suggest he’s returning in terrific order, and provided he can replicate his first-up win in the Listed Parramatta Cup (1900m) last preparation, More Felons must be considered a major player in this.

Race 7 – 
#1 More Felons (5)
