Top 5 Early Insights - Warwick Farm

Published: 25 Feb 2015

A big day at the 'Farm' - Warwick Farm hosts the Chipping Norton this weekend

The full Race Guides for Warwick Farm's big day will be on-line Friday at 8am, including Form, Comments and The Race Guide's Profiler for each galloper. 

Getting the edge is what it is all about, helping you to know if your horse is the right one for the conditions on the day.

Until then, The Race Guide's Analyst team have listed their Top 5 Early Insights.

1 – Lots of chances

Waller’s favourite Danjeu dominates the betting in Race 1 at Warwick Farm over 2400m. He’s looked impressive so far, but the problem is his ratings don’t reflect the price.

In an even field with lots of chances is there value to be found?

Favourite in an even race - Danjeu has a strong chance this Saturday

2 – Power and acceleration

The Skyline Stakes (Race 2) for the youngsters is a small field and usually that means two things; the chance of a Steady Tempo and a race set-up that favours those with a turn-of-foot.

The powerful Sebring Sun has the wood on Wolf Cry so far when it comes to a dash to the line.

Ready made sprinter - Sebring Sun has the power to accelerate

3 – More genuine now

After a failed trip to the breeding barn, the Kris Lees trained Thump is racing in great heart. She showed her new found will to win in her trials and recent Randwick triumph.

Even Tye Angland was surprised at how much of a kick she have last time out. She could do it all again in Race 5.

4 – Don’t dismiss

Contributer will be hard to beat in Race 6, the Chipping Norton, but don’t dismiss a few that finished in behind him.

Horses like Foreteller and Silent Achiever don’t have the sprint of the strongly-built Godolphin galloper.

Things could be different over a mile.

Don't dismiss - Silent Achiever will enjoy the step up to 1600m

5 – Loved the track

A few of the smaller and tougher types loved the Royal Randwick two weeks ago. A sticky surface that suited horses chasing out wide.

Expect a few to struggle if the track is fairer at Warwick Farm.

Horses like Slightly Sweet (smaller and lean) and Danesiri (neat and balanced) won’t get things quite as good.

A tough girl - Slightly Sweet tries very hard in her races
