Emma Reeves aids us with programming and identifies who she thinks is the best placed horse each weekend. 

Revengeance, Saturday 8th November, Rosehill Gardens, Race 6: There could always be a secret superstar among debutants, but I do think that race experience provides a significant edge. The other four runners with race experience come through the Kirkham Plate, and many good judges are holding the Breeders’ Plate form in higher regard. He did a few things wrong that day and was at his top throughout, so the 1100 metres second up looks ideal. Once he found clear air, he hit the line very strongly, so I don’t mind him drawing just off the fence. With no real speed expected, I’m hoping he can take up a prominent position, and I think he will be hard to beat.
