Daily Racing Tips – Thursday, December 23

Gosford: Race 2 (1:50pm AEDT)
No. 3 Midori Beauty

Midori Beauty was an impressive winner on debut, and he can keep alive his unbeaten career start at Gosford today.

The Deep Field gelding showed plenty of promise at the trials prior to debuting and put the writing on the wall here at Gosford in October.

He has had a short break since that race, trialled up nicely again and is primed to strike.

Gosford: Race 5 (3:40pm AEDT)
No. 2 Overlord

It has been quite a while since we’ve seen the well-bred Overlord at the races, but I am not sure he’d be offered a better opportunity to win than this.

By Sebring and out of two-time Group 1 winner Red Tracer, Overlord has promised plenty since debuting, but remains a seven-start maiden.

He’s had the benefit of a trial in the lead-up to his return and there doesn’t look to be a lot of depth in this contest.

best bet
Gosford: Race 6 (4:15pm AEDT)
No. 6 Twitch

Twitch hasn’t turned in a poor effort since debuting, and she can return to winning form at Gosford today.

The I Am Invincible mare has had three starts for a win and two second placings, and she returned from a spell with a nice effort for second in a similar race here in November.

I like that she has been back to the trials since that run and she is my best bet of the day.

Gosford: Race 7 (4:50pm AEDT)
No. 5 Fiordland

Fiordland is another runner that looks well placed to strike at Gosford today.

Fiordland has only had two runs since arriving in Australia and he is yet to show his best, but this is a decent drop in class from his last-start run at Warwick Farm, in which he was four lengths behind the winner.

Getting out to a mile should prove ideal and Tommy Berry can give him a good ride from an inside draw.
