From Kris Lees
Horse : Hammoon Dream
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 1, TAB.com.au Hcp) The Dreamscape youngster made an impressive debut at Scone on April 15, running away from her opposition to easily win against her own age over the same distance. She has trained on well since Scone, so it will be interesting to see how she shapes up.
Horse : Zestful
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Brisbane Race 5, Silk Stocking) Has opted to run the talented mare in the $150,000 Listed Silk Stocking. Zestful is on the minimum (54kg) and Jason Collett has been booked for the mount. Saturday’s Silk Stocking is, of course, a step up in class but if she shows she is up to this stronger class, there is every likelihood she will stay at the Coast. There is another race for her (the $100,000 Bright Shadow Quality, 1200m) at Doomben in a fortnight.
From Chris Waller
Horse : Sebring Sally
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Brisbane Race 4, All-New Jaguar XE Gold Coast Bracelet) A bit of a long shot really, but she has won black type races before. Awkward gate so probably needs a bit of luck.
Horse : Strawberry Boy
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Brisbane Race 7, Hollindale Stakes) Backing up from last week. He was very bright on Tuesday, and 1800m will suit.
Horse : Kool Kompany
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Brisbane Race 7, Hollindale Stakes) Didn’t trial too bad. Edging his way back to his European form.
Horse :Spiritjim
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Brisbane Race 7, Hollindale Stakes) Will get a lovely run from barrier 3. Has been running around the best horses in Europe, he’s a good horse.
Horse : Disgraceful
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 2, TAB Rewards Hcp) The horse is going terrific and he has come back stronger. His work has been good.
Horse : Rodrico
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 4, More Than Ready Hcp) Going terrific and going for three in a row. Extra 100m won’t do him any harm. Drawn well and there’s a lot to like about him.
Horse : Chandana
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 4, More Than Ready Hcp) Will ride her quiet on Saturday and let her work home.
Horse : Encosta Line
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 4, More Than Ready Hcp) Will go forward from that gate.
Horse : Mr Darcy
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 4, More Than Ready Hcp) He’s heading the right direction even though he’s still a couple of lengths off Rodrico.
Horse : Sir Bacchus
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 5, McGrath Estate Agents Hcp) His work has been good. Rory Hutchings will claim 1.5kg. Should get the run of the race from barrier 3.
Horse : Religify
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 6, Schweppes Hcp) In sparkling form, he’ll be hard to beat.
Horse : Start Wondering
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 6, Schweppes Hcp) He’s going good. Carrying a bit of extra weight but he has 2 trials. Go well fresh. Get him a bit of cover from barrier 9 and he’ll storm home.
Horse : Rockolicious
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 6, Schweppes Hcp) With only 52.5kg, she’ll get a lovely run from barrier 1.
Horse : Index Linked
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 7, Lord Mayors Cup) Great chance. He’s absolutely flying.
Horse : Weary
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 7, Lord Mayors Cup) He’ll get back on a good track on Saturday. Blinkers off.
Horse : Beyond Thankful
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 7, Lord Mayors Cup) Got him back in form last start on a wet track. Awkward gate.
Horse : Hawkspur
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 7, Lord Mayors Cup) Winona Costin rides, he’s not going as bad as his form suggests. Has drawn barrier 1.
Horse : Lady Le Fay
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 7, Lord Mayors Cup) She’s going terrific.
Horse : Pioneering
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 8, Pro-Ride Hcp) She’s a lovely filly, has come back well and she looks terrific. Should be hard to beat.
Horse : Liberty Island
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 9, Hyland Race Colours Hcp) With Hutchins claim, he’s down to 59.5kg. Going terrific and was lucky not winning last start. He’s in good form and he’s a winning chance.
Horse : Montauk
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 9, Hyland Race Colours Hcp) Needs to improve. Hopefully putting blinkers on will help to turn his form around.
Horse : So Willie
Message : (Nominated for Saturday, Sydney Race 9, Hyland Race Colours Hcp) Terrific 1st up run. He won’t be far away on Saturday.
