Race 7
With the late scratching of one of his main rivals, the door may have opened for today’s best bet, ANDERMATT to chalk up his fifth career victory. He goes for his hat-trick after victories over five furlongs and the latest when putting six lengths between himself and the opposition over 1100M when returning from a 31 week break. He jumped awkwardly that day and came five wide into the home straight before hitting the front at the 200m mark and the race was over as a contest at that point. He jumps from gate five with champion jockey, James McDonald retaining the ride and could prove difficult to topple. He renews his rivalry with
DRAGONSTONE who finished second in the race mentioned above. The latter also jumped awkwardly in that contest and found himself towards the back of the field before coming the widest of them all into the home straight, but finished his race off well. He faces a wide draw ten, but on the plus side, he will get 2kgs taken off his back thanks to his claiming apprentice. He does meet the top choice on 5.5kg better terms today and as a result should finisher closer to the former, but may still have to settle for the same result.
DUCHESS is a 4yr old filly taking on the boys, but she had her consistency rewarded with a short-head victory last time out over five furlongs. She showed plenty of toe that day and kept going well to keep the chasing pack at bay. The form of that race has been franked and from a wideish gate eight, she should be involved in the finish.
Race 8
LA CHEVALEE is a 5yr old mare taking on males, but she has finished closer to the winner in each of his last three runs, the latest when sixth over seven furlongs, just over a length and a half adrift of the victor, but she was hampered over the latter stages, so did well to get as clos to the winner as she did. She gets draw six and will be having her peak run after returning from a 27 week rest. If she has continued down that same path of improvement, she should give the boys a good run for their money.
DIAMIL has won two of his last three outings, the latest over a mile by two and a half lengths and the form of that race has stood up well with three runners out of that contest subsequently winning. He is drawn the widest of them all in gate thirteen, but will have his peak run since returning from a shorter 21 week break.
PHILIPSBURG has consistent formlines to his name and was slow away before winning his last start over 1500M by two and a half lengths. He faces a wideish draw nine, but is likely to turn in another honest performance here and should be included in all bets.
Race 9
RUSTIC STEEL is seldom far off the action and finished fourth last time out over seven furlongs, just a half-length back from the winner. He came four-wide into the home stretch that day and then hung in over the latter stages. He faces a wide draw eleven out of thirteen, but he should be right up there when they hit the line.
O’PRESIDENT was friendless in the betting markets when showing marked improvement to record his third career win last time out over seven furlongs by 0.8L. He raced just off the pace that day and accelerated well to claim that victory. From his handy draw two, he could prove good enough to record a quick double.
TAKSU followed up his penultimate run win over 1300m with a second spot finish next time out over seven furlongs, 0.8L off the winner. He jumped awkwardly and hung out the entire race that day, so that effort was encouraging. From draw eight, he will have 2kgs removed from his allocated weight courtesy of his claiming apprentice to aid his cause.
Race 10
The day’s value bet, UCALLEDIT missed out on his hat-trick when ending up in fourth place last time out over six furlongs, just over one and a half lengths adrift of the winner when returning from a 19 week absence. He jumped awkwardly and did not get the clearest of passages in the home straight that day, only seeing daylight at the 250M pole. That was his first start in Australia since arriving from New Zealand and from pole position, he seems sure to have improved with the run under his belt.
TOO MUCH CAVIAR has posted two solid last efforts, the latest when third over 1300M, one and a half lengths behind the winner. He stayed on well that day suggesting that the extra ground on offer here will be to his liking. His gate four will do him no harm.
TORETTO on the other hand goes for his hat-trick after wins over 1300m and the latest by two lengths over 1500M. He produced a powerful finish in that race and from draw seven, he should be doing his best work late.
