Mahrez can make a winning return at Sandown this afternoon.
The Iffraaj gelding won on debut at Geelong last September and was immediately put away, and he was far from disgraced in a couple of Group 2 races during autumn this year.
He is a proven fresh performer and this looks an ideal launchpad for him.
Sabre Princess takes winning form into the third at Sandown today and looks well placed to continue her journey through the grades.
The Mick Price & Mick Kent Jnr-trained mare has been competitive in each of her three starts back this time and extended late to score convincingly in BM64 company last time out.
She’s performed well on rain-affected tracks previously and is drawn to receive a lovely run in transit.
Arnold takes winning form into the penultimate race in Sydney today and can continue his rise through the grades.
The Hinchinbrook gelding only just missed behind Pizarro on debut back in December and was immediately put away, and he made an ideal return with and easy win at Kembla Grange earlier this month.
He’ll only improve for that effort and will be ridden by James McDonald. He is my best bet of the day.
Holy Tycoon is over the odds in the last at Randwick-Kensington today ($13 at publish).
The Written Tycoon mare was too good for a BM58 field at Muswellbrook when resuming this time and only just missed behind Zain’s Girl at Gosford second-up.
She takes her place in this contest following a credible fourth placing behind Arbitration in a similar race at Warwick Farm, and that horse has since franked the form by performing well in Saturday metro company.
