Likely Types - Warwick Farm

Published: 20 Jan 2015

The country track in the city - Racing heads to Warwick Farm today

The Warwick Farm circuit presents a unique challenge for horses with a triangular shape and sharp home bend. Gallopers that can "sling shot" off the home turn and keep momentum are often the best bet.

The Race Guide's Horse Expert looks at a few horses that might perform under today's conditions. 

Race 1 - Meteor Storm

"The ability to race near the speed and not shirk your task should never be underestimated and Gai Waterhouse trains her horses to do just that. This colt has shown real resilience and can win."

Race 2 - Eminent Duke

"He is a big and strong sprinter that is quite raw in the way he races. Warwick Farm may not be ideal, however he remains a chance based on pure talent alone."

Big and strong - Eminent Duke has the scope to win

Race 3 - Countryman

"He's simply not a Rosehill horse. A tougher type that did well to fight on last start. Expect him to enjoy the challenge of the Warwick Farm circuit today."

Not a Rosehill Type - Countryman will enjoy Warwick Farm today

Race 4 - Artibai

"An impressive staying type that won very well last start. He comes up against another talented stayer in this race, however this galloper has more up-side over the long run. Quite like him."
