Tanglewood does face a small rise in the weights today at Grafton, but he couldn’t have been more impressive with 60kgs in tow at Taree last time, and I think he’ll be making it two in a row.
The son of Smart Missile made just two appearances during his debut prep, placing in a Wyong maiden most notably, but returned a clearly improved type last month.
Any improvement on his fresh run, which resulted in a five-length victory, and he’ll just be winning again.
Collection Point was a little out of his depth at Eagle Farm last time out, but this looks a far more appropriate race for him.
The Lee Freedman-trained gelding filled the minors in three starts leading up to his run in town, only just missing in a similar race to this one at Lismore two starts back.
He’s in peak order and importantly, he should relish the rain-affected track today.
Ucalledit takes winning form into the South Grafton Cup, and I think that he’s going to take a power of beating again.
The Kris Lees-trained galloper did finish down the order at his first few runs back this time, but he mustered an eye-catching turn of foot to charge through at Randwick last time out.
He is clearly now in peak order and this is a weaker race.
Wonderwhen takes improvement into her second campaign start today and appears primed to strike.
The Denman mare has been a great horse for the Daniel Want yard since debuting, recording three wins and a further eight minors from her thirteen career starts.
She worked home well to fill the minors at Beaudesert when resuming, and she boasts a strong second-up record.
