Gosford Feature Race Previews

Published: 07 Jan 2016

Gosford's big Friday twilight meeting is kicking off on a drying SOFT track. The Race Guide's Analyst team has a look at the feature races below.

Belle of the Turf 1600m

AMMIRATA was very impressive last start, holding off JUST A BLUR (prefers it dry), but she is far from unbeatable. Looking for horses on the up, you can't go past the classic-looking ALEGRIA from Godolphin and Waller's progressive SWEET FIRE.

They both have the scope and form to storm home best.

On the improve - Sweet Fire has the talent to surprise at Gosford

Takeover Target Stakes 1200m

A great line-up with two very competitive mares going head-to-head. I'VE GOT THE LOOKS is as tough as they come and is sure to put in another good run, while RULE THE RIVER has hit top form and looms as the biggest threat.

Don't completely dismiss old boy DECISION TIME, who went hard in the lead first-up, along with the big strong HOWMUCHDOYOULOVEME, who loves it wet.

Unbeaten this campaign - Rule the River searches for some black-type today at Gosford

Gosford Gold Cup 2100m

With some question marks on the stamina of TELPATHIC over 2100m, Jo Pride's DESTINY'S KISS shapes as the one to beat up in distance. He's a no fuss sort of horse that gets fit early in his preparations and loves the sting out of the ground.

He'll be hoping the Waterhouse gallopers roll along early so he can mow them down late.

Tough little stayer - Destiny's Kiss will be digging in for the fight late
