WEDNESDAY 11th FEBRUARY - GOSFORD

Rail Position: True

WRITTEN IN WRATH, Race 2, 1100m, 2.25pm, R Bayliss, 59kg
Written In Wrath was unlucky to be scratched at Warwick Farm last week, but he’s none the worse for the experience and he is delighting us ahead of his first career start. His two trials this time in have been excellent, and the way he sprinted clear of his rivals to win his most recent one by 4.75 lengths was most impressive. Regan knows him extremely well, so he’ll be positive from barrier 10 to try and work forward and get across into a more favourable inside position. 1100 metres is a lovely starting point for him, so with even luck in running we expect him to give this a good shake to get his career off to an exciting start.

THURSDAY 12th FEBRUARY - GOULBURN

Rail Position: +3M Entire 

CANADIAN FLING, Race 3, 1500m, 3.00pm, Z Wadick, 59kg
Canadian Fling took a step forward from her debut effort when finishing a close second at Scone last time. She did everything right there and showed a lot of tenacity in defeat, so it was still a run full of merit. She wasn’t stopping at the line so this slight step up to 1500 metres shouldn’t be an issue, and Goulburn’s a lovely expansive track which will play to her strengths. Zac got a terrific tune out of her last time so we’re delighted that he retains the ride, and he’ll be able to land in a forward position from barrier 2 to make his own luck on or close to the speed. The track’s rated a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances which she’ll get through, but it’ll probably dry out a bit come race day. This is a realistic race for her and we expect her to be right there at the finish.
