Godolphin Family Funday 20 July Mdn Plate
The Joseph Pride stable is in good form, and the booking of Adam Hyeronimus is positive. While unproven on soft tracks, her overall profile suggests she should be competitive in this field.
Sheeza Tricka brings recent racing experience and consistency at this level. While yet to place, she has soft track experience and an inside draw which could be advantageous. The retention of Winona Costin is a positive, but she'll need to find improvement to challenge the top picks.
Racy Time is the unknown quantity in the field as a first-starter. The Blake Ryan stable can produce winners on debut, and the gear changes suggest race readiness. Jay Ford is a strong jockey booking, and the mid-range barrier draw should allow for a good run.

Celerity stands out with consistent form, including a close 2nd last start. Proven on soft tracks and drawn well in barrier 3. The James Cummings/Rachel King combination adds further confidence.

Nordic Star is an intriguing first-up runner from the Nathan Doyle stable, known for their success with debutants. The gear changes (barrier blanket and ear muffs pre-race) suggest the horse is well-prepared.
