The Last Say on Royal Randwick and Caulfield with Ray Thomas ALL the late mail and best bets ahead of a huge day's racing at Royal Randwick and Caulfield. Weather: Cool day, showers, heavy at times, with a forecast top temperature of 18 degrees. Track: Heavy (8) Rail: 3m out Weather: Cloudy, partly cloudy day with a forecast top temperature of 19 degrees. Track: Dead (5) Rail: 7m out BE WARY: Plenty of rain in Sydney this morning has forced the track rating into the heavy range - and it is only going to get worse. Randwick is a magnificent track but with rain forecast most of the day,. the track conditions will deteriorate. This is a day for proven mudlarks. Expect jockeys to look for the better going in out wide in the home straight from early in the meeting. At Caulfield, the sun is out for the farewell to Black Caviar. The great mare is parading in front of her home ground after being retired earlier this week. The Caulfield track continues to improve but is unlikely to get much better than the current rating given the cool weather. However, it should provide a fair racing surface with the rail out 7m. THE BEST BET: Hoylonny (race 6) is in a race to suit today - provided he handles the heavy track. He has only had two starts in heavy conditions previously for two minor placings, including his second to Bello at Rosehill three starts back. There is enough evidence to suggest he will handle these conditions. Certainly, his form has been solid and he is getting close to a win. This looks his race after his last start second to the top mare Lights Of Heaven in the Neville Sellwood Stakes at Rosehill. He excels at 2000m. THE NEXT BEST: Everage (race 2) is a very under-rated filly with two wins and three seconds from five starts. Significantly, her two successes have been on heavy tracks including her tough effort to beat the classy Twilight Royale on a heavy 10 track at Rosehill back in February. Everage was terrific last week when second to boom colt Safeguard in the Kindergarten Stakes. She carries topweight of 58kg and the distance is a slight concern as she hasn't been beyond 1100m but her wet track ability more than compensates. VALUE BET: Red Tracer (race 8) vaults into Doncaster Mile contention the more the rain tumbles down today. There is no better wet track performer than Red Tracer - she has had five starts on heavy tracks for five wins, all stakes races. Top class mare who was placed in an Epsom Handicap two years ago. Struggles to run a strong 1600m but she is very fit and has been just edged out by Appearance in successive Group 1 races at her last two starts. There is not a lot of recognised early speed in this Doncaster field and if Red Tracer can get across from her extreme outside barrier without using up too much energy, she is capable of running a huge race around the $26 mark. THE WHISPER: Dear Demi (race 7) is the only runner in the ATC Australian Oaks field to have won on a heavy track, winning the Fernhill Handicap 12 months ago. She won the Furious Stakes and Victoria Oaks last spring but her form has been mixed this autumn although she did win the Surround Stakes three starts back. The blinkers are off today and her work on Tuesday morning at Warwick Farm was sensational. She can bounce back and complete the Oaks double. THE BEST BET: African Pulse (race 4) was brilliant first-up. toying his with rivals to win very easily over 1000m at Caulfield. Talented but injury-prone sprinter with five wins from 10 starts. All his wins have been at 1000m but the 1100m around Caulfield will pose no problems today. He's too good for this field. THE NEXT BEST: Elite Elle (race 5) romped home at Moonee Valley second-up from a spell, scoring with ease and gapping her rivals. With Tom Sadler's 3kg claim she is reasonably well weighted with 57.5kg. She's right at her peak after two runs from a spell, she boasts an excellent strike-rate of five wins from nine starts, trained on the track, drawn well, and her opposition isn't that strong. She ticks all the boxes. VALUE BET: Forget (race 7) is better than his two unplaced runs this preparation indicate. Last spring, Forget was placed at Listed level at Flemington so he has the ability. His last start flop can be forgiven as little went right for him from an awkward draw. Forget starts from barrier three today, he will get the run of the race and is capable of being in the finish. Terrific value around $31. THE WHISPER: Club Command (race 6) was just beaten first-up in a stakes race than raced without luck when fourth to It Is Written at Moonee Valley. Fitter now and is unbeaten in two starts this course and distance. Working brilliantly, trained on the track and the small field suits. Just too good. The Doncaster Mile (race 8) is always a great betting race and this is typically wide open today.
