Gosford Race 4

Central Coast Nsw Legacy Super Mdn Hcp

Prize Money: $60,000

DON'T DOUBT DARCY (1) is the one to beat off a single debut run that had more merit than the bare fourth suggests, having raced keenly and wide before being beaten just over three lengths as a well-supported favourite at Kembla Grange. The easy Warwick Farm trial win gives him a sound platform to return from a long break, and the exposed form in this line-up is not deep. HIT THE RUNWAY (6) is the key debutante, drawn to get every chance and coming through a solid Warwick Farm trial for a stable with strong first-starter output. Tongue-tie goes on and no shock to see her get the better of these. WILD COURAGE (10) has been competitive in small fields and was only beaten a length and a half first-up at Newcastle. Ready to aim up from the rails gate. REGAL PROFIT (5) Capitalist colt from Still Reigning on debut for the Portelli yard. Impressed in both trial wins and looks to have the ability to overcome the sticky gate.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after showing enough on debut at Kembla Grange, where he started a well-supported favourite and finished fourth, beaten just over three lengths. He raced keenly in the early stages and did not quite finish off, so that run can be treated with some allowance. Debut had excuses and he profiles as the one to beat after the two sound trials.

Comments

Dropped into a Mdn after debuting in a BM68 at Warwick Farm, where he finished last and was beaten over 12 lengths by Crescent King. He was tightened on jumping and raced keenly, but he was still well back on the turn and never looked likely. Massive improvement required.

Makes his debut with enough trial evidence to warrant respect, having won at Warwick Farm and shown repeated readiness across four trials. Jason Collett takes the ride and the wide draw tempers the winning push.

Comments

Debuts for the Ciaron Maher stable after a solid second in her latest Warwick Farm trial, following another close trial placing there. The stable has a proven first-starter record and this filly draws well in barrier two, which helps in a 1000m Mdn. Strong chance with a host of gear going on from a low gate.

Comments

Resumes after five months off, having mixed her two runs in the first campaign. She was second on debut in an Open at Scone on heavy ground, beaten two and a half lengths, then ended that preparation last at this track in a Mdn after being steadied and racing keenly. Returns with the one trial and don't dismiss.

Back after five weeks since finishing seventh at Nowra, beaten just over six lengths after settling rearward and failing to challenge. She had charged home for fifth there the run before, and the apprentice claim brings weight relief third-up. Needs it easier.

Comments

Improved fitness should come after her Newcastle return, where she was fourth in a small field and beaten a length and a half after settling back and failing to finish it off. She was also fourth on heavy ground at Hawkesbury before the break. Genuine contender fitter now with the key jockey change.
