Rejoiced puts an unbeaten record on the line in the third at Gosford this afternoon, and he can continue his rise through the grades
The Redoute’s Choice colt showed ability at the trials prior to debuting and put the writing on the wall with an eye-catching effort here in November.
He franked that performance with another comfortable win, this time in Class 1 company at Kembla Grange second-up, and he boasts plenty of upside.
We have a pretty firm favourite stepping out in this contest in Petulant, but Tudor Music has improved substantially with each start back this time, and I think that she is a genuine winning chance at a lovely price ($11 at publish).
Tudor Music has been a good horse for the Hickman stable on the country and provincial circuit throughout her career, and she kept all of her best work for late when second in a similar race at Wyong last time.
She steps out today in peak order and we can have an each-way play.
Never Second takes winning form into the fifth at Gosford today and looks well placed to make it two in a row.
The Zoustar mare finished second, beaten less than half a length at Wyong when resuming this time, and she recorded an easy win in BM64 company last time.
She races well on a rain-affected track and she is my best bet of the day.
King Of Sparta can win this year’s Gosford Guineas.
King Of Sparta has been a good and consistent horse for the Snowden yard since debuting, and he found form around some quality gallopers during the recent Spring Carnival; last seen filling the minors behind Paulele in the Group 2 Roman Consul.
His fresh record is excellent and he is certainly up to this class.
