This Bathurst pacer comes to the foot of the mountains and strikes an immensely winnable race.
Trained by David Reynolds, this gelding has been racing better than his form appears at Bathurst. He was the target of a significant market move last start that did go amiss but is benefited from a change of draw and drop back in class tonight.
Driven by inform concession driver Taylah Osmond, this five-year-old has sizzling gate speed and maps as the likely leader. If he leads, he wins. It’s as simple as that!
Satellite Simba is our Best of The Day.
Trainer-driver Brian Portelli has his team deadest flying and this horse is a massive chance of recording back-to-back wins.
Seven days ago over this track and distance, Portelli led throughout on this son of Rock N Roll Heaven, recording excruciating sectionals throughout. He clocked a 1:53.6 mile on that occasion, going within one second of breaking the track record.
Off the back of last week’s performance this gelding will demand front end respect and from the top, it is hard to see how he is beaten.
A newcomer to the Cobbity Equine operation headed by Luke McCarthy, this gelding looks a fantastic chance of starting his Sydney career on a winning note.
Formerly trained by Riverina legend Bruce Harpley, this gelding had been racing in stellar fashion throughout his form district, only missing out last start due to an unkind trip throughout. The Roll With Joe gelding has had a solid trial ahead of tonight’s race, hitting the line well at Menangle.
Another horse with fantastic early speed, this four-year-old looks the logical leader here and looms as a winner.
In an open race, we are going to side with Stephanie Morris’ lightly raced three-year-old gelding.
By Mcwicked, this gelding has shown good ability in his limited starts, best evidenced by his last start second placing at Penrith. That run was behind one of his rivals for this evening, Lochinvar Magic, but this gelding is the beneficiary of a better draw than most of his key rivals.
Driven by David ‘The Doctor’ Morris, this gelding has enough gate speed to find the top here and from there will take plenty of catching.
