BEST BET - #6 - Parry Sound (ROUGHIE OF THE DAY)
I am keen to be in the corner of Sara Ryan’s Parry Sound who has come up at a really nice price here. He last race in the Beauford at Newcastle that a few of these come out of where he came from pretty much last in the run to clock brutal closing splits in an edition of the race that was run in record time. He was quite a few weeks between runs then so now coming into this he has plenty to offer and I think he can take this out.
THE DANGER - #1 - Sky Lab
It’s hard to knock Sky Lab for Paul Perry. This horse has been an absolute beauty of late and I think his run in the Beauford shouldn’t knock him here when Collett just wasn’t on the ball enough to give him gas at the right time but the horse still showed how honest he was when finding the line with purpose to end up third. I think that if he gets working a bit earlier this time round and out to this distance now he will be tough to beat.
VALUE BET - #4 - Torrens
Torrens is another I am happy to entertain who comes out of the Beauford at Newcastle a couple weeks back and I just think the way that he ran there is too good to ignore. Now, when you consider that was his first run in nearly six weeks and he absolutely ravaged his way to the line to split Sky Lab and Stroke Of Luck when placing second plus that he gets turned around quicker for this now, I think he’s been placed here with intent and can run home well.
