Randwick Race 2 Preview & Tips Saturday 01 November 2025

31/10/2025|SB Staff|Horse Racing Tips
<p><strong>Fan Harder</strong> looks set to break through at <strong>Randwick</strong> in <strong>Race 2</strong> over <strong>1400m</strong> with <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/jockey-list/reece-jones">Reece Jones</a> in the saddle and <strong>RP Northam</strong> training.</p> <p>The gelding has been somewhat frustrating during his current preparation, but dropping back from 1500m to 1400m could be the key to unlocking his winning potential.</p> <p>His last start at Rosehill over the longer trip saw him battle on well despite the firm surface conditions, suggesting there's improvement to come.</p> <p>The shorter distance should provide <strong>Fan Harder</strong> with a much more favourable run in transit, allowing him to position closer to the pace and unleash his finishing kick when it matters.</p> <p>At <strong>$6.00</strong>, he represents solid value for punters looking for a horse that appears to have found the right race at the right time.</p> <p>The combination of the trip back in distance and what should be a more suitable race tempo makes <strong>Fan Harder</strong> a compelling proposition.</p> <p>With <strong>Reece Jones</strong> aboard, expect tactical riding to maximise the horse's chances of finally converting his recent honest efforts into a well-deserved victory.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/randwick/race-2-9785596">Markets available here</a></p> <p>Odds subject to change.</p>
