WEDNESDAY 3rd JUNE - WARWICK FARM

Rail Position: +3M Entire

DEMERZEL, Race 1, 1100m, 12.50pm, R King, 58kg 
Demerzel is delighting Adrian and myself ahead of her first start. She has had two trials at Randwick and Gosford to prepare her for this, and the recent trip away to Gosford has done wonders for her and really switched her on. These two hit outs have given her a solid fitness base and educational grounding for 1100 metres first-up, and Warwick Farm’s an expansive track so Rachel will be positive from barrier 5 to try and roll forward into a handy position where she can make her own luck on or close to the lead. She’s shown us plenty of promise thus far, and we expect her to run a very competitive race for you to get her career off to an exciting start.

KINETIC KISS, Race 1, 1100m, 12.50pm, T Clark, 58kg 
Kinetic Kiss is delighting Adrian and myself ahead of her first start. She has had two trials at Randwick and Gosford to prepare her for this, and the recent trip away to Gosford has done wonders for her and really switched her on. These two hit outs have given her a solid fitness base and educational grounding for 1100 metres first-up, and Warwick Farm’s an expansive track so Tim will be positive from barrier 4 to try and roll forward into a handy position where she can make her own luck on or close to the lead. She’s shown us plenty of promise thus far, and we expect her to run a very competitive race for you to get her career off to an exciting start.

LADY INVICTUS, Race 3, 1100m, 2.00pm, R Bayliss, 56.5kg 
Lady Invictus is delighting us ahead of her first-up run. She has had two trials to prepare her for this race, and she took plenty of improvement from her first one to win her most recent one at Rosehill in decisive fashion which was very encouraging to see. These two hit outs have given her a solid fitness grounding for 1100 metres first-up, and Warwick Farm is a very inviting track where we have a lot of success so it’s a lovely place for her to kickstart her preparation. She’s drawn to do no work in barrier 2, so Regan will be positive from there to utilise her natural speed and make his own luck on or close to the lead. She’s firing on all cylinders and whilst kicking off in town won’t be easy, we expect her to give her a good account of herself to get her campaign off to an exciting start.

GRAPHIC SIGHT, Race 5, 1100m, 3.10pm, T Clark, 59kg 
Graphic Sight is in great shape ahead of his return. He took significant improvement from his first trial to finish second in his most recent outing at Gosford where he relished the trip away from home, and after which Tim Clark was very complimentary about him. He was victorious when last first-up over this distance at Goulburn in July where he broke his maiden, and whilst that’s a much easier grade than this it showed he can go well fresh and that he also handles wet tracks. He’s had plenty of time off since he last raced in September, but this has enabled him to mature properly and he’s also been gelded which many deem the ultimate gear change, so Adrian and I are confident that he’s open to significant improvement this preparation. Tim will let him land where he’s comfortable from barrier 9 and there’s probably going to be a few a bit quicker than him, so we imagine he’ll settle just in behind the speed. You don’t often find Benchmark 64 races in town and for this one to be restricted to 3 and 4 year olds makes it a very suitable starting point for him, and we expect him to be hitting the line strongly to get his preparation off to an exciting start.

SOLAR ARMY, Race 6, 2200m, 3.45pm, A Hyeronimus, 61.5kg 
Whilst his finishing position doesn’t suggest it, Solar Army ran an improved race at Scone last time. He was up in grade and managed to travel closer to the speed, and he was still only a couple of lengths from the leader with a furlong to run before just being outsprinted in the run to the line. He’s taken further improvement from the experience, and this step up in distance third-up promises to suit him down to the ground. He’s back to midweek grade so he’s got more weight on his back as a result, but Adam’s a natural heavyweight rider which ensures he’ll carry minimal deadweight in the form of lead which is always our preference. Adam will be positive from barrier 11 to try and slot him into a position where he can get some cover and travel comfortably in the run, and with the favourable forecast the track should dry out somewhat between now and race day. He’s capable of running a big race and we expect him to be very competitive.
