The opening Group race of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival will take place this Saturday February 5 when the $200,000 Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) runs as Race 6 at 4:28pm (AEDST) at Rosehill, and here the Races.com.au team have the exclusive 2011 Expressway Stakes Betting Tips.

Red hot favourite to win the 2011 Expressway Stakes tomorrow is seven-year-old mare Hot Danish, currently paying around $2.15 through Luxbet.

Odds-on at other bookmakers, Luxbet are offering the best price on Hot Danish as she has drifted out slightly in their markets from her opening quote of $2.10.

Hot Danish came up trumps with gate one in the Expressway Stakes barrier draw, is the light-weight of the field allocated 56.5kg for tomorrow and boasts a near flawless first-up record.

Meeting her rivals with a 2kg advantage, coming off a winning barrier trial at Warwick Farm and being partnered with her regular in-form hoop Tim Clark, Hot Danish looks hard to beat tomorrow.

That’s why we are sticking with the favourite in our Expressway Stakes selections and have Hot Danish rated special to win.

Rosehill Race 6 Tips – Expressway Stakes 2011

• Races.com.au Favourite: #8 Hot Danish – Rated Special to Win through Luxbet
• Best Place / Exotic Bets: #2 Love Conquers All, #6 Centennial Park and #1 Danleigh

With Hot Danish at short odds and because the team at Races.com.au want our readers to win big and beat the bookies with their Expressway Stakes betting tomorrow, we have selected our three other favourite runners from the field.

Using our Expressway Stakes picks, you can either back Hot Danish for the win or give yourself the chance to enjoy a massive payout by locking in our other favourites in a Box Trifecta for First Four wager at Luxbet.

To run second behind Hot Danish we fancy the current $3.50 second favourite Love Conquers All.

Mossman four-year-old Love Conquers All shares many advantageous stats as the favourite Hot Danish such as:

– The same percentage of career wins

– Won a Warwick Farm trail on January 24 over 800m

– Also has a commanding first-up record and is resuming for the season

Adding value to the Expressway Stakes exotics we fancy Centennial Park and Danleigh to finish third and fourth.

David Payne’s Thorn Park gelding Centennial Park has a nice barrier four draw, Corey Brown in the mount and represents great value to place.

Veteran galloper Danleigh, trained by Chris Waller, has the highest percentage of placings during their career of any of the Expressway Stakes runners so they have claims here also.

If you want to get in on the autumn racing action of the Expressway Stakes tomorrow, we highly recommend you sign up with the Tabcorp-owned and trusted bookmaker Luxbet now!
