Distance & Class:
Group 2 3YO+ Open Set Weights & Penalties over 1100m.
Track Bias:
Expecting an even track with all runners getting their chance dependent on individual race pace.
Early Speed:
Expecting a genuine early speed with Overpass [1] going to the front with Remarque [2] & Athelric [12] looking to be prominent, off the leading group In Secret [4], Mazu [10], Lost And Running [8] & Hawaii Five Oh [5] will be handy throughout.
Top Pick:
Loved the way the James Cummings trained 5. In Secret hit the line late last start in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes behind Remarque over the 1000m, the mare would have taken considerable improvement off that run and the 1100m sets up perfectly.
The 4YO has won twice in three second up runs over her career and from the good draw will enjoy the run of the race stalking the leading pair saved for one short sharp sprint at them late.
Danger:
The Mathew Smith trained 6. Buenos Noches looks over the odds in The Shorts betting at around the $7 mark in the current market after a dominant first up win over 1200m last start in Group 3 company,
The galloper would have taken significant improvement off that performance and draws to get a soft run throughout in behind the leading group of runners, the horse races well fresh and has been given 28 days between runs which is an ideal setup.
- No. 5 In Secret – 2 Unit Win Bet
- No. 6 Buenos Noches – 1 Unit Win Bet
