Sunstone hasn’t missed a placing at her last four starts and won’t be offered a better opportunity to win than this.
The Proisir mare finished third behind Petaluma at Moruya two back and was last seen filling the minors in Class 1 company at Nowra.
She’s rock-hard fit, drawn well and doesn’t have any excuses.
Café Tortoni has returned two competitive efforts this preparation and is up to winning Race 7 at Moe this afternoon.
A half-brother to the exciting Cherry Tortoni, Café Tortoni has filled the minors at Cranbourne when resuming and was last seen finish three-lengths third behind the promising Barocha.
He has good heavy track form and conditions to suit this afternoon.
Gidgee Guy has improved for two starts this time and is ready to win at Tamworth this afternoon.
The Allan Denham-trained gelding needed the run when he finished at the trail of the field at Wyong when resuming, but he mustered an eye-catching turn of foot to fill the minors at Newcastle last time out.
This race doesn’t appear to be a whole lot harder, and any improvement would see him into the finish.
This shapes as one of the more open races on the card at Leeton today, and a horse like Freundin has claims on winning, at a price ($18 at publish).
The Albrecht mare has made three appearances at the races since resuming, taking noticeable improvement from each and culminating in a close-up third at Queanbeyan last time out.
She should only improve further into this, and I am happy to roll the dice at current odds.
