Verdict

Manners have been letting SON OF PATRICK (10) down of late but he switches from the standing start to the mobile and loves it here, winning 10 of his 18 attempts. Banking on him bringing his A-game this time. SAVE A PRAYER (11) resumes and he is another that was struggling to find his best behaviour at the end of last campaign but he won Alexandra Park the last time he got right. That was his only attempt at this distance. Has the ability with manners. SON OF THE CLEANER (6) hit his peak third up with a last-start win at Alexandra Park. Could go on with it. TRIFOLIUM (1) has drawn to advantage and is ticking along well having only once missed the placings in his last six starts.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Workout

A workout is a timed sprint over varying distances prior to a race, meant to get a horse fit enough for competition.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Blinkers

A hood worn on a horse’s head to limit side vision, which can improve concentration. Blinkers are added or removed to relax a horse or give it more focus.
