Halcyon Princess will take good improvement into her second campaign start and is up to winning. The daughter of My Bro Fabio recorded a dominant win in slick time here at The Gardens late last prep and wasn’t far away from the winner at Richmond earlier this week. This looks a great opportunity for her.
Pete Tanga will take winning form into the seventh at The Gardens tonight and looks well placed to make it two in a row. The son of Barcia Bale hasn’t finished out of the places at his last eight starts, but last week’s win was particularly slick, and a repeat of that effort would see him winning again. He is my best bet of the night.
Smoke ‘Em looks beautifully placed tonight and will have the benefit of an empty box on her outside. The daughter of Fernando Bale has been stepping out in good races recently and finished fourth at Wentworth Park last week. I think this will prove an easier task for her and she’ll take beating.
Meerkat Warrior faces a rise in class at The Gardens, but he was an impressive last-start winner and looks capable of continuing his rise through the grades. The son of My Bro Fabio has continued to improve with racing recently, culminating in last week’s win at this track and distance.
