GOLDEN SLIPPER TIP – WRITTEN BY – Race 7 No.1 (Sydney)
Cannot fault what he’s done in his four wins to date. Led last week but expecting him to sit just in behind the speed here. Debut win at Sandown was on a heavy track so the track condition shouldn’t be an issue.
BEST – GAILO CHOP – Race 4 No.1 (Sydney)
Won his first two runs at Caulfield where he was able to dictate out in front. Copped a bit of pressure in the Australian Cup and was terrific in defeat. Not expecting the wet conditions to present any issues.
VALUE – MY PAISANN – Race 5 No.4 (Mornington)
He’s a get back and run on type, but enough speed engaged here which will help. Close second when first-up last prep over 1000m. Won in the three-year-old open class back in June at Caulfield.
LAY – SUGAR BELLA – Race 9 No.3 (Sydney)
Made it four straight wins this prep with a last-to-first win in her first run in a Group race. Faces a similar sort of assignment this time, but with there not being a whole lot of speed engaged, she may not find it easy.
BACKED – NETTOYER – Race 2 No.7 (Sydney)
Punters are seeing the engagement of Kerrin McEvoy as a big positive. She has been $3.20 into $2.90 since markets opened, and accounts for almost 80 percent of the hold on the race to this point.
