Bedford Square faces a rise in class at Hawkesbury this afternoon, but she was an impressive winner in maiden company last time, and this looms as another great opportunity for her.
The Tavistock mare finished fourth, beaten just over two lengths at Canterbury when resuming, and she powered home to score at Wyong last time.
Fitter third-up and on a soft track, she can win again.
Famous Pedrille looks well placed to strike at Hawkesbury this afternoon.
The Territories gelding is yet to break his maiden, but he has returned three competitive efforts since resuming this time, placing in similar races to this one at his last two.
He steps out this afternoon in peak order and is ready to win.
This is a drop in class for Catapult and a great opportunity for him to return to winning form.
The Richard Litt-trained gelding doesn’t win out of turn, but he has been competitive throughout his campaign and in decent races, and takes his place in this field following a credible sixth placing at Randwick-Kensington.
He’s rock-hard fit and might not be offered a better opportunity to win.
Short Shorts has made just one appearance at the races so far, but she couldn’t have been more impressive on debut, and she can keep alive her unbeaten record today.
The Iffraaj filly showed ability at the trials prior to debuting, and she put the writing on the wall with a dominant effort at Newcastle late last month.
She’ll only improve for that experience and she can win again.
