Another open race has materialised in this week’s Midway Handicap, but I am going to stick with Pecuniary Interest.
Pecuniary Interest has certainly re-found form since transferring to John Sargent’s care earlier this year, and he returned from a break to strike over a mile here at Randwick a fortnight ago.
I’m confident that he will only improve for that effort, and he should also enjoy getting out to 2000m.
I’m going to have something on the enigmatic So Si Bon in the Neds Lord Stakes.
He has been the bane of punters’ existence throughout his career, but So Si Bon has still managed to pull off some impressive results, and he has typically been contesting tougher races than this one throughout his current prep.
He’s rock-hard fit, drawn a peach and we can have an each-way play at around the $8 mark.
Niccanova can win this afternoon’s Bernborough Plate
Niccanova has been an outstanding horse for the Steve Tregea yard throughout his career, he is multiple black type winner and he is unlucky not to have struck in Group 1 company.
So far this time, he has improved with each of his three starts, and he only just missed in the Listed Brisbane Handicap last time.
He is drawn ideally under Ryan Moloney and he’s going to take plenty of beating.
Beau Rossa went to another level earlier this year, and I think that he can win this race at around the $5 mark.
Beau Rossa resumed in July for a lovely win in the Listed Lightning at Morphettville, and he placed an impressive second in each of the Spring Stakes and Memsie Stakes at his next two.
That looks to be the superior form in my opinion, and he can return a winner.
