Quick Analysis:

Starman has had some tough races as of late, and while he hasn’t managed a top-three finish, he still held his own. Now, he gets back to mid-week racing, so he should enjoy an easier assignment. The Chris Waller-trained gelding gets James McDonald in the saddle, and I think he is clearly the one to beat.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to the last at Ipswich now, and Zoufani looks pretty good in my eyes. The mare was victorious last time out at Eagle Farm across the same distance, and before that, she finished second also at Eagle Farm and over the same distance. She won her maiden here at Ipswich, and she draws barrier one. There’s a lot to like.

Quick Analysis:

Wrapping things up in the final at Sandown today, and Silver Magnate has caught my eye. The second emergency has gained entry into this one thanks to several scratchings. The 5YO is two from two so far in his career, including a win at this track last time out. Jockey Jordan Childs sticks with him once again, and he’s ready to step up in grade.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Island Dream won second-up over 1550m on heavy ground before placing in BM78 grade. She drops back in class, draws the rail, and looks the one to beat in Race 3 at Warwick Farm.
  • tip
    Sun Setting was brave, finishing third over 1200m last start and returns to her pet trip of 1000m. With Zahra aboard from the inside draw, she looks well-placed in Race 5 at Sandown.
  • tip
    Watertight resumes off a smart trial win at Doomben and showed promise on debut when narrowly beaten. Drawn well and suited on dry ground, he’s a key player in Race 3 at Ipswich.
