Quality stayer UNANIMOUS is poised to secure his sixth career victory this Saturday, when he lines up in the $160,000 BM78 Handicap over 2000m at Rosehill Gardens, Australia.
UNANIMOUS has shown consistent progress with each step up in distance this preparation. His most recent performance saw him finishing a solid third in a BM88 race over 1800m at Randwick. During that race, the son of Deep Field faced a troubled run, struggling to find clear galloping room near the 300m mark. Despite being steadied and shifted out, he made significant ground in the final stages.
The drop in class and the increase in distance are both favourable for UNANIMOUS, presenting him with a strong opportunity to return to the winner’s circle.
In-form five-year-old gelding TRIPLE JAY is well-positioned to continue his purple patch in the $100,000 RTG84+ Handicap over 1400m at Belmont Racecourse, Australia.
TRIPLE JAY has been in excellent form this year, missing the frame only once from six starts, including three wins and two placings. After a convincing 1.4-length victory over 1200m two starts ago, the Street Boss gelding overcame a rise in class and distance to secure a narrow yet impressive win over this track and distance last time out. This performance suggests there are still more rating points to come.
With a notable record of two wins from four starts on rain-affected tracks, and the track expected to be soft on Saturday, TRIPLE JAY looks on track to achieve a hat-trick of wins.
