1. Kingsman |
5yo stallion from Manor Park Stud, Career earnings: $4,594,622 Overall rating: Grand(69) – Competitive |
Comments: Jockey Nickole Bushweller and the 5yo Kingsman go together like love and marriage – or if you prefer, a horse and carriage. The pair look very likely to produce the goods to deliver a knockout blow again on Saturday. The 5yo son of Fanatic has won 12 of his 13 starts and his overall form and consistency is impeccable.
2. Not Very Good |
5yo mare from Dopey Donkeys Digs, Career earnings: $2,039,500 Overall rating: Excellent(64) – Fast finisher |
Comments: The fast mare of Workshop Bruno, Not Very Good was not disgraced in the medium features last season and she looks set to produce another good performance.
3. Endangered Prophet |
5yo mare from Ezulwini, Career earnings: $2,128,611 Overall rating: Excellent(62) |
Comments: Endangered Prophet is another consistent galloper, but she does look held by Kingsman on their last course-and –distance clash.
4. Flyer Crumpet |
5yo stallion from Dawg’s Ranch, Career earnings: $385,500 Overall rating: Excellent(62) – Fast finisher |
Comments: The well bred stallion from the Dawg’s Ranch yard Flyer Crumpet has been placed in his recent starts, but looks well held in this company.
5. Hauroko |
5yo mare from Sycamore, Career earnings: $1,035,800 Overall rating: Grand(66) – Fast finisher |
Comments: Hauroko just finished behind Flyer Crumpet last time, I expect them to be close together again.
6. Gracious Indifeet |
5yo stallion from Stud Trouville, Career earnings: $1,580,820 Overall rating: Reasonable(52) |
Comments: Gracious Indifeet has the services of a pro jockey this time, but both need to up their game to be effective here.
7. Rum ‘n’ Porn |
5yo stallion from Team Monkfish, Career earnings: $1,673,584 Overall rating: Grand(66) – Stalker |
Comments: Rum ‘n’ Porn has got to be a very frustrating horse for the stable, Team Monkfish has the services of top jockey Elmer Broersma, and they can have a say in the finish.
8. Of It April Bint |
5yo mare from Rockstar Racing, Career earnings: $1,838,557 Overall rating: Reasonable(54) – Unpredictable |
Comments: Of It April Bint won her heat on Sunday, but needs to improve a few lengths to earn here.
10. Garlic Showgirl |
5yo stallion from Diet Coke Horses, Career earnings: $1,486,449 Overall rating: Admirable(59) – Competitive |
Comments: The Diet Coke Horse stable runner Garlic Showgirl, has it all to do with the apprentice on top. They will enjoy the outing though.
