BEST BET - #6 - Listentozou (BEST BET)
Surely it’s time for Waller’s latest import to get the job done. He resumed off of a 22 week break from racing last time out at Randwick at the end of the year’s meeting and was inconvenienced in the run until close to the line before being able to click up and make an impact late to place well there. He should get a more economical run this time around, is fitter and should win this with even luck and Nash on.
THE DANGER - #2 - Magic Shadow
Hard to knock Magic Shadow when he’s had just the debut run for Maher and Eustace but he does rate very well off the back of it and I think is ready to come to this track now. The debut came at Beaumont when stepping out over the 1200m and only going down very late to one other horse who looks super progressive himself. Fitter, out in trip, Day aboard, rates highly here.
VALUE BET - #8 - Not So Common
It’s hard not to give any respect to Waterhouse and Bott’s juveniles even when they don’t show an awful lot given that the stable just goes so well with them and really knows how to get them turned up even when they don’t necessarily kick off well. This guy looked sharp in the early stages of his resumption run at Randwick before just fading late in the piece. Fitter, off a short break and ready to improve.
