Top Pick: 

1. Skyhook

NZ$3.10 with 20Bet

Quick Analysis:

Kicking the day off in the Group 3 Hawkesbury Guineas with Skyhook. The colt comes into this one third up, with some decent runs under his belt, but not exactly a lot to show for it. He’ll be at peak fitness, so the additional 200m shouldn’t be of any concern. He was just 3L off the pace last time out in a Group 2, and the set weights conditions work in his favour for this one.

Eagle Farm - Race 5, 4:23 PM

Top Pick: 

2. Icarian Dream

Quick Analysis:

It’s hard for me to go past Icarian Dream in Eagle Farm today. I reckon the filly has the class to overcome the current favourite, Kohler Kid. While she gets absolutely no favours with the barrier draw, she has a great track record at Eagle Farm. Last time out, she finished second at Doomben. I expect she’ll be gracing the winner’s stall after this race.

Bendigo - Race 10, 6:55 PM

Top Pick: 

12. You’re Two Vain

Best Odds Available:

NZ$2.60 with Ivibet

Quick Analysis:

In the last of the day at Bendigo, I have my eye on the favourite, You’re Two Vain. He kicked off his campaign last time out with a third placing at Sandown Lakeside, just 0.37L off the leader. The jump from a BM74 to a BM84 doesn’t look out of reach. He draws well and only has to lug around 55.5kg on his back; a lot of things are working in his favour.

Stats and Insights

  • Sister Shay went close last start and looks ready to break through. She is a leading chance in Race 5 at Bendigo.
  • Like Clockwork resumes with a strong early career record and looks well placed fresh. She is a leading chance in Race 5 at Ascot.
  • Commanding Artist comes off a solid placing at Newcastle this prep. He looks a key chance in Race 8 at Newcastle.
