Brad GrayMay 29, 2026 — 4:26pmRace 1 – 11AM BOOKMAKERS RECOGNITION DAY HANDICAP (1300 METRES)1. Tron Bolt powered clear to win like a smart two-year-old at the midweeks last start. He did find the right part of the Kensington track having settled on the fence behind the leaders but once he was angled into the clear the son of Toronado forged clear to win by three lengths. The grounding of a 1400m run under his belt back to 1300m on a heavy track sets him up well. Given the amount of improvement the Chris Waller-trained youngster made from start one to start two, he should come on again as he heads towards the JJ Atkins in a fortnight. 3. Cormier made a big impression winning at his home track Scone on debut. Not dissimilar to Tron Bolt, once he levelled up to the leaders he was still running away from his rivals on the line. The Maurice colt, out of Abbey Marie, which won out to 2000m, should only be better over a touch further here. How he’ll handle a heavy track is a guess, but it’s the same for the majority of runners, except for 6. Iommi.How to play it: Tron Bolt to win.Amplify wins at Randwick in December.Getty ImagesRace 2 – 11.35AM TAB HIGHWAY PLATE (1500 METRES)7. Moon Sweeper was touched out by 1. Autumn King in a Scone Highway two weeks ago, with 12. Red Rags To Bulls flashing home into third. There was little between the trio and they renew acquaintances on Saturday. At the time of writing, Autumn King doesn’t have a jockey, which might suggest he’s an unlikely runner. This week’s Highway is run under set-weights conditions and Moon Sweeper drops from 62kg to 57.5kg. He looks exceptionally well placed. The Matt Dunn-trained four-year-old still has his quirks, but he also has an emphatic heavy-track win to his name from earlier in his career. If Autumn King does run, even though Aaron Bullock has been booked for his stablemate 2. Solitario, he’ll take beating. He raced on a heavy track in the group 2 Queensland Guineas two starts ago and covered ground so we didn’t get much indication whether it was the track conditions or tough run that told late. He is well placed under the set weights conditions and looks a three-year-old destined for bigger and better things.How to play it: Moon Sweeper to win.Race 3 – 12.10PM MIDWAY HANDICAP (1100 METRES)11. Gorgeous has had two hard-luck stories at her past two starts. The So You Think filly gave away an impossible start at Hawkesbury in class 1 company first up, much to the chagrin of punters that took the short odds. She then never got a crack at her rivals in the Denise’s Joy at Scone two weeks ago. With even luck, she would have been fighting out the finish. The David Pfieffer-trained three-year-old hasn’t seen a track rated anything worse than a soft 5 in her three career starts. This is a field stacked with lightly raced sprinters going through the grades, but she looks as promising as any of them. 7. Sir Les made it two from two when holding off Queen’s Rhapsody at Kembla Grange last start. This is by far his toughest test to date, and he stretches beyond 1000m for the first time, but the gelding’s recent trial alongside group 1 sprinter Overpass suggests that he has come on again. 14. All The Way Mae won in good time at Kembla Grange first up from in front. Not sure how much should be read into a two-year-old maiden win over 900m from this time last year, but the way this filly skipped through a heavy 10 offers confidence that she’ll relish Saturday’s conditions.How to play it: Gorgeous to win.Race 4 – 12.45PM GREG MILLETT HANDICAP (1800 METRES)15. Nasebah made a big impression at her first Australian start, charging clear to win by a dominant margin. That was the four-year-old mare’s third start. The overall time she clocked was four lengths faster than Chispa at the same meeting and the import showed a brilliant turn of foot when shooting up the fence. On that note, it’s worth remembering that Nasebah was potentially flattered by finding the right part of the Kensington track, towards the inside. She’s also a complete unknown in the wet. 6. Nobler is another Chris Waller-trained import that has hit the ground running in his first Australian campaign. Not sure what happened at Caulfield second up but since then, he has responded with two stylish wins at Randwick and then Gosford. 7. Sounds Unusual is the proven wet-tracker. He perhaps doesn’t have the upside of his stablemates, but he has a sense of timing third up. Forgive the beaten margin at Scone as he was forced back to the inside, which proved inferior in the straight. 4. King Perdo was only a length away from Nobler first up before a narrow second at Gosford.How to play it: Nasebah to win.Race 5 – 1.20PM NSW BOOKMAKERS CO-OP HANDICAP (1500 METRES)14. Hush Hush defied a significant market drift to win narrowly at Kembla Grange first up. It was a determined win albeit a slow last 600m split. We’ve seen the Ciaron Maher-trained filly twice on wet tracks and she has swum. Admittedly, both were in maiden company, but on debut on a very testing heavy 10 at Warwick Farm she took late ground off Burma Star. She was tipped out and resumed with a resounding Kembla Grange win on a soft 7. 1. Duvana resumed with an eye-catching fourth at Scone first up over 1300m. He hugged the fence, which proved inferior ground in the straight on the second day of the two-day carnival. Second up out to 1500m looks perfect. Has mixed form on wet tracks. 15. Ertijaaj won a midweek maiden at Caulfield on debut. Hard to get a confident line on where that fits in here. She’s an import, out of Golden Slipper winner Estijaab, that arrived in Australia with just one UK start to her name. 12. Bella Corazon couldn’t quite match the finishing speed of Nitro at Scone, but she wasn’t far off him.How to play it: Hush Hush each way.Race 6 – 1.55PM RANVET HANDICAP (1500 METRES)6. Amplify covered ground when ninth at the Gold Coast first up in the Silk Stocking. Forgive the beaten margin. The four-year-old mare has struggled for consistency in her short 10-start career but has shown glimpses of ability. In her first campaign she raced in horrible conditions in Queensland, ploughing through the heavy track to run second to Pinito, with 3.3 lengths back to third. The prospect of a heavy track at Rosehill holds no fears for her. 7. I’ve Bean Tryin’ is an outstanding wet-tracker. His record on heavy ground reads 7:4-1-1. All four of those winners have been in lesser grade, but he’ll be strong late and will handle the conditions. 2. Man Of Worth raced wide with no cover when midfield at Scone last start. Compounding that was jumping from 1250m to 1700m second up. The import raced on debut on a heavy track in Ireland as a 2YO, beaten a long way. Not sure what to make of that. Would be top pick in the dry. 4. Mawjood is on the quick back-up, wet track to wet track. He’ll be battle hardened. It’s just the last 100m that could see him vulnerable.How to play it: Amplify each way.Race 7 – 2.30PM VALE PETER TAYLOR HANDICAP (1100 METRES)19. Hay Street lines up for his sixth run of the campaign and is yet to finish outside the top three. The three-year-old chased gamely at Scone last start when a narrow second to Wanaruah. He has a recent soft 7 win to his name at Kensington. Wedged in between those two starts was a third to Compensation when he found 1000m too sharp on a good track. Looks to handle wet ground, hard fit and very genuine. Braith Nock knows the sprinter well, too. 11. Confidentiality ran past Hay Street when second two starts ago at Randwick. She then had no luck at Warwick Farm. It looked to take her some time to build through her gears in a race that turned into a sprint home, but just as she was starting to look threatening, the door was closed by eventual winner Glorious Moments. 2. Madrina finished second in that Warwick Farm race. Proven wet-tracker. 20. Ice Kool won two from two then never figured in the Sunlight at the Gold Coast. Has trialled well. 3. Shropshire Lad and 13. Agatha rate mentions.How to play it: Hay Street each way.Race 8 – 3.05PM VALE SANDRO D’AMORE HANDICAP (1200 METRES)6. Super Nui had a lot against her first up at Kensington, lumping 61.5kg and settling outside the leader. It was also on a dry track. The big change in set-up on Saturday, other than stripping fitter second up, is getting onto wet ground. The Ron Quinton-trained mare has a terrific record on heavy tracks (4:2-1-0). Those two wins were in provincial benchmark 64 company, but she won by combined 11 lengths. The market for this fillies and mares contest has it $5 the field and Super Nui looks to profile as well as anything. The punt with 5. Miss Kim Kar is her fitness. First up on a heavy track is no easy task. She produced a brilliant finishing burst when third first up two campaigns ago so she is capable fresh despite her form on paper suggesting otherwise. She had a mixed preparation last time in. Market confidence could prove significant either way. 1. Super Norwest went to a new level last campaign. Her two big wins were on dry tracks, but she has proven adept in all conditions. 7. Thames showed she is back in form with a first-up win over Super Nui.How to play it: Super Nui each way.Race 9 – 3.40PM LORD MAYORS CUP (2000 METRES)Ignore the finishing positions of 4. Zambardo in to runs back. Wide barriers haven’t given the four-year-old a chance. The set-up he gets on Saturday is by far the most suitable, out to 2000m and getting onto a wet track. There was talk of the import targeting group races in Queensland, yet the Price and Kent jnr stable has elected to keep him in Sydney for one more run before potentially heading north. Give him a chance to win again. 13. Nellie Leylax boasts a brilliant heavy-track record (4:2-1-1). All six of his career wins have come on wet tracks. He didn’t get a lot of room at Doomben last start. 10. Belvedere Boys is another well credentialled wet-tracker. He went straight past Nellie Leylax late last start, although Nellie Leylax still boasts a 2-1 head-to-head record with the Matt Dunn-trained six-year-old. 11. Touristic won this race last year by two lengths on a heavy track. His form this time back suggests he is going just as well. Not as convinced about the classy 1. Tavi Time on a heavy track.How to play it: Zambardo to win.Race 10 – 4.20PM DENHAM CARTER HANDICAP (1200 METRES)13. Applaud produced a first-up win on a wet track at Kembla Grange last campaign. That was the Kembla standalone, so Saturday company. It was in this same grade, edging past Tuned and Smashing Time over the concluding stages. We’re not being served up the same $61 that was bet there, but double-figure odds still appeals for this four-year-old gelding. He is two from two on heavy tracks with the Kembla win on a soft 7, but there was rain on the day and a race later it was downgraded to a heavy 8. Wouldn’t say this assignment is any harder on paper. Dual acceptor 9. Hay Street lines up for his sixth run of the campaign and is yet to finish outside the top three. The three-year-old chased gamely at Scone last start when a narrow second to Wanaruah. He has a recent soft 7 win to his name at Kensington. 1. Bandi’s Boy has not won for 112 weeks but has finished top four in three of his past four starts. Back in grade, include him in trifectas and first fours. 10. Sir Ravanelli has not won for 77 weeks himself, but he is a swimmer and looks worth a second look at bolter’s odds. 6. Lightning Glory is chasing four straight wins.
