Fontein Lad is yet to show his best form this time, but he has continued to improve with racing and looks over the odds to salute at The Valley tonight ($15 at publish). He’s been a credible performer for Greg Eurell’s stable throughout his entire racing career so far and he worked home well to finish sixth behind he likes of Double You Tee at Caulfield last time out. This is the weakest race he has contested this time and he can fight out the finish.
Three Beans is yet to run a bad race and looks well placed to win at The Valley tonight. The Deep Field colt won on debut and was immediately returned to the paddock and has since placed in two 1200m races here at The Valley, including the Group 3 Red Anchor last time out. This is a drop in class and 955m looks perfect for him.
Special Snap has been racing in harder races than the one she strikes at Canterbury this evening and will be hard to beat. The Godolphin-trained filly finished second in a decent race at Warwick Farm when resuming and has since fought on admirably for fourth in the Listed Reginald Allen and sixth in BM72 company at Rosehill. She’s ready to peak in condition and looks the one to beat.
Heavenly Emperor will take good improvement into his second campaign task at The Valley tonight and will take a power of beating. The four-year-old son of Echoes Of Heaven doesn’t know how to run a bad race and resumed a fortnight ago for a close-up second in BM70 company at Bendigo. He’s drawn a peach in barrier 5 and with appropriate luck, will be winning.
