Blake Johnston is joined by AFL and Port Adelaide legend Ryan Burton for Day 3 of the Randwick Carnival. One Group 1 on the card — but we're hunting a $101 multi.We cover the All Aged Stakes and the Champagne Stakes in full, break down every runner, and build our multi leg by leg.ALL AGED STAKES (1400m)A wide open race — but one horse stands out as the value play. Giga Kick has the class but does he need the sting out of the track? Jimmysstar has been inconclusive this prep. Angel Capital gets James McDonald for the first time and is desperate for the rise to 1400m. Fangirl is over the odds at double figures. And Beiwacht — flying, maps perfectly, back to 1400m for the first time since his Golden Rose demolition. He's the one.CHAMPAGNE STAKESCan Campione D'Italia stamp himself as the only dual G1 winner of the two-year-old crop? Miss Chanel never runs a bad race — wide draw but strong late. Fireball keeps chasing home his stablemate — can the low draw help him turn the tables? And Southend — two from two and unbeaten. How good is he? We find out Saturday.Full analysis. Form. Value plays. And a $101 multi. 🐎#AllAgedStakes #ChampagneStakes #HorseRacing #RandwickCarnival #RacingAustralia
