Race 4.
There are four unraced runners in the field, so as is always the case in these types of races, a keen eye should be kept on the betting markets to get some indication as to whether the connection believe that they can win first time out. Of the raced runners, two 3yr old fillies could fight out the finish and complete the exacta, with GOLDEN FANTASY proving to be the best. she has only had the two runs to date finishing fourth on debut over 1008M and then showing the expected improvement to end up in second place next time out over this c&d, just over a length behind the winner when returning from a 24 week break. she was only run out of it very late and despite facing a wideish draw nine, she could prove good enough to win at the third time of asking. SUPEREL disappointed last time out when finishing seventh over 1100M in heavy going, nine lengths behind the winner and was immediately rested for 11 weeks. She returns here having won her only barrier trial. She jumps from one inside the top choice and should be right up there when they hit the line. NAME’S JANE makes her debut after two encouraging barrier trials and could threaten the top two selections.
Race 5.
Today’s best bet, TIME TO TARGET is a 3yr old filly taking on the boys, but she has consistent formlines to her name and had finished second in her two runs prior to finishing third in her last two starts, the latest when 2.4L behind the winner over 1206M and the form of that race has been franked. She is sure to put her pole position to good use here. FIRE IN THE HOLE had finished second in his two outings prior to ending up in fifth place last time out over 1100M, just over three lengths behind the victor. The gelding had to be steadied at the 900M mark that day and should have finished closer to the winner as a result. From draw six, he could emerge as the biggest danger to the top pick. Although HYPERTENSION is recorded as finishing fourth last time out over six furlongs, he was only 0.9L back from the winner. He hit the front at the top of the straight that day and notwithstanding his wide gate eleven, he should be involved in the finish.
Race 6.
JAJA CHABOOGIE is a 4yr old filly taking on males, but she made solid improvement in her last start over 1300M, finishing second just a half length adrift of the victor. She looked a possible winner close to home before being run out of it very late. She has pulled a handy gate four and could be the one to side with here. BALLYBRACK finished fourth in his latest start over seven furlongs, just over two lengths adrift of the winner, this despite hanging in the home straight. He faces a wide draw ten out of eleven, but he should be doing his best work late. BORLOTTI made good late progress to finish third in his last outing over a mile at this track, three lengths behind the winner. He should have no issue with the drop down to seven furlongs and jumping from gate six, heshould be included in all bets.
Race 7.
SO SHY goes for his hat-trick after wins over five furlongs and the latest over 1250M where he was a half length victor. He returns from a lengthy 60 week absence, but has posted two encouraging barrier trials. The fact that his connections have brought the gelding back into racing would suggest that they still believe that he has something to offer them. He faces draw seven and should turn in another honest performance today. COOL MISSILE is a 4yr old filly taking on boys, but she missed out on her hat-trick last time out when finishing in last place over 1250M, 8.7L off the winner. She did jump awkwardly that day and then tried to go from gun to tape before compounding badly. The was clearly not her run and from draw three, she should be afforded another opportunity to redeem herself here. FOXY’S FOXINATOR returns from a lengthy 49 week absence and has not had the benefit of a barrier trial, so his fitness will have to be taken on trust. Although he finished eleventh in his last outing over 1450M, 5.3L behind the winner, the form of that race has stood up well with six runners from that race winning a subsequent race. He has his first run for his new trainer and if fully settled into his new surroundings, he should be considered a big runner here.
