Race 2 No 8 HO HO STAR

It’s worth overlooking his last start, where he was forced to settle off the speed in a slowly run race, leaving him with little opportunity to make an impact. Before that, he charged home strongly to finish second in two consecutive outings, indicating that he’s on the verge of a breakthrough.

With a genuine pace expected this week, he looks poised to finally secure a well-deserved victory in this moderate field

Race 5 No 11 FUN N GLORY

He has been racing in consistent form recently, but repeatedly drawing wide barriers has hindered his chances of securing another win. In his last start, he was forced to race three-wide on the speed but still held on well to finish fourth, beaten by just one length.

With a smoother run, he appears capable of bouncing back in Class 4 at any time.

Sectional Stars

Race 1 No 4 URBAN TRIUMPH

In his most recent outing, he recorded the third-fastest final 400m in 22.26 seconds, finishing fourth over this distance in Class 4—a commendable performance given the race shape. Now dropping back to Class 5, where he boasts an impressive 50 percent strike rate, he should emerge as a strong contender.

Race 7 No 9 QUANTUM PATCH

He attacked the line powerfully in the closing stages of a slowly run race last time out, making his tenth-place finish an unfair reflection of his true ability. Returning after an eye-catching trial, he’s well-positioned at the weights and appears primed to deliver a strong first-up performance, especially with blinkers added.
