Race 2: AL’S BELLS(4)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH Trainer: Dennis DRIER
Although AL’S BELLS struggled to stay the mile on this course last time in a competitive field, tonight’s drop to the minimum distance is perfect for this speedy bay filly. She’s primed to bounce back to top form. The 3rd placed runner from her last race, Coral Queen, enhanced the form by beating the 4th placed finisher, Green Fairy, in a tight contest. This Drier-trained horse boasts gate speed to overcome a wide draw and has shown plenty of promise leading up to this.
Race 5: GREEN ICE(2)
Jockey: Gunter WROGEMANN Trainer: Alyson WRIGHT
The three-year-old GREEN ICE is a rising star who broke her maiden over seven furlongs on this course in her seasonal debut four weeks ago. Facing tougher competition on her handicap debut tonight, she’s progressive and should thrive over the extra furlong. Expect her to show improvement as she gets fitter.
Race 7: SOVEREIGN SOLDIER(6)
Jockey: Warren KENNEDY Trainer: Charles LAIRD
SOVEREIGN SOLDIER has been improving steadily, finishing a credible 6th over seven furlongs on this track four weeks ago. His pedigree suggests he will relish the longer distance, and more progress is expected from this bay gelding.
Race 8: GREEN FAIRY(9)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS
The Howells team has a strong chance in this final race. Though GREEN FAIRY is not yet equipped with blinkers, she is poised to secure her first career victory. This daughter of Gimmethegreenlight came close recently after a tough run, and the form has been reinforced by the runner-up, Making Miracles, in subsequent races. With the gate speed to offset a wide barrier, she’s definitely one to watch.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 3: WALTZED HOME(4)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH Trainer: Charles LAIRD
The Charles Laird stable has a solid hand tonight, and the somewhat underrated WALTZED HOME could make a strong comeback with Anthony Delpech aboard. Though below par in his last two starts, he has since dropped five pounds in his merit rating and remains a formidable frontrunner. He is fitted with blinkers for the race and jumps from a favourable draw.
