Barry & Betty Harvey - Celebrating 50 Years In Racing Mdn

Winner4. Bit Of A DaggSP $7.70
★ Top pick4th
5Alezando

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.70 · Jasmine Fawcett

Alezando produced the best synthetic run of any runner last start, finishing a close 2nd at this track and distance. She maps well from barrier 3, gets a capable rider, and is clearly improving. In a wide-open maiden, she has the strongest recent evidence and represents the most likely winner.

2nd pick3rd
1Force Of Law

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.30 · Michael Mc Nab

Force Of Law is a consistent maiden who rarely runs badly. His last-start third on synthetic over track and distance gives him strong claims in this race. With Michael McNab aboard and a forgiving gate, he should be in the finish again. Lack of a win is a concern but his reliability makes him a solid place prospect.

3rd pick2nd
12In The Vineyard

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.50 · George Rooke

In The Vineyard is a consistent filly with three placings from five starts, though all on heavy turf. Her only synthetic outing was a fair 4th. Still, she can feature in the placings.

Value pick5th
2Requisite

Our price $10.00 · SP $7.70 · Hayley Hassman

Requisite has been knocking on the door with consistent minor placings in wet-ground maidens. He is untested on synthetic but his pattern suggests he can handle the surface. The jockey's poor track record is a worry, but the horse's consistency merits inclusion.

2Anton

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.80 · Jasmine Fawcett

Anton has been outstanding on Cambridge Synthetic with two wins from two starts at this track and distance. He comes off a dominant BM75 win and Jasmine Fawcett retains the ride. The 4yo gelding looks well placed to handle the step up to BM80 and should prove hard to beat.

2nd pick3rd
1Lhasa

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.10 · Tom Wigram

Lhasa drops significantly in class from Open and Group races to BM80, a level he dominated previously on synthetic. His second-up record is outstanding and he handles the Cambridge track very well. The wide draw and hefty weight are concerns, but his class advantage may prevail.

3rd pick2nd
5Oban

Our price $6.50 · SP $9.00 · Ethan Jones

Oban is a model of consistency at Cambridge Synthetic over 1300m, with 4 placings from 11 starts. He ran 2nd in a BM80 here two runs back and 3rd in a BM75 last time. He maps to get a favourable run and can fill the minors once again, but may lack the finishing burst to win.

Winner5. Ebony GemSP $2.60
★ Top pickWon
5Ebony Gem

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.60 · Jack Taplin

Ebony Gem clearly has the best recent form, finishing a narrow 2nd over this track and distance 21 days ago. She is second up today, which is a positive, and drops slightly in weight. The synthetic surface suits her and she maps well from barrier 4. The main concern is her 0 from 5 record, but she's improving and the race is winnable.

2nd pick5th
7Heloisa

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.30 · Craig Grylls

Heloisa brings a consistent record but faces significant queries: she has never raced on synthetic, is first up after 124 days, and tackles 970m for the first time. Her soft track form suggests ability, but the synthetic surface is a big unknown. Likely to need the run and may not be fully wound up. Place chance at best.

3rd pick4th
1Mivirgo

Our price $12.00 · SP $17.90 · Ashlee Strawbridge

Mivirgo is a consistent synthetic performer who finally showed a return to form with a 3rd place over track/distance on June 17. He has placed 3 times at this track/distance and at 18-1 offers each-way value. The main downside is his 27-start maiden status, but he is hard to trust to win. However, for place purposes he is a solid threat.

Value pick7th
9Lit Show

Our price $8.00 · SP $5.80 · Samantha Collett

Collett's recent 25% strike rate is a strong positive.

12Miss Moet All

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.20 · George Rooke

Miss Moet All has placed in 3 of 4 synthetic starts, including a win and a close second. She drops slightly in class and draws well. The moderate tempo and track profile suit her mid-pack finishing style.

2nd pick2nd
1Seamsew

Our price $8.00 · SP $14.50 · Samantha Collett

Seamsew is a synthetic specialist with a superb 4-from-11 record at this track and distance. He drops significantly in class and draws the inside gate. However, returning from a long spell and carrying top weight are concerns.

999th pickScratched
2Perfect Dividends

Our price $6.00 · Ashlee Strawbridge

Perfect Dividends has the strongest recent synthetic form: a win and a third in two starts at this track and distance, including a BM72 victory. With only one genuine leader in a moderate tempo, his on-pace style is well-suited. Despite a wide draw and jockey's modest track record, his class and fitness give him the edge.

Value pickScratched
9Shavasana

Our price $10.00 · Hayley Hassman

Shavasana has a perfect synthetic record: placed in all five starts, including a win at this track and distance. She returns from a spell but has shown ability fresh.

Winner2. El Speedy ManSP $2.10
★ Top pickWon
2El Speedy Man

Our price $3.33 · SP $2.10 · Samantha Collett

El Speedy Man has the best synthetic credentials in the field, having placed second in both starts at this track. His only poor run came on a soft turf surface from a wide draw, so a forgive effort. Jockey Samantha Collett is riding with confidence and the step up to 2000m should unlock further improvement.

2nd pick3rd
5Irish Flute

Our price $6.67 · SP $5.70 · George Rooke

While the Pike stable commands respect, the filly is untested on the surface and her jockey has no success with the stable. Her recent 4th on soft ground is decent, but the leap to synthetic and 2000m for the first time is a query. Likely place chance at best.

3rd pick5th
6Rippin Along

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.80 · Craig Grylls

Rippin Along produced her best effort when 4th over 1550m on the synthetic track last start, staying on well. She is still lightly raced and likely to appreciate the step up to 2000m, but she needs to find improvement to win. Craig Grylls is a capable rider and the stable has decent numbers. Considered a place chance rather than a win selection.

Value pick4th
3Laser Beam

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.90 · Hayley Hassman

He ran a tight 4th over track and distance last start, suggesting the 2000m suits him well on synthetic. He draws the inside gate which should allow him to settle in midfield and produce a late run.

5Erase

Our price $5.50 · SP $10.60 · Joe Nishizuka

Erase maps as the leader in a slow-run 2000m, a massive edge on Cambridge Synthetic. After a dominant maiden win and a solid third in BM75, he drops to BM66. The jockey has a 20% win rate with this horse. Expect him to control the tempo and prove hard to run down.

2nd pick7th
4Mulan Ardeche

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.70 · George Rooke

Mulan Ardeche is a consistent mare dropping in class after a close third in a BM78. She handles synthetic well and has a solid jockey. The slow tempo is a slight concern from barrier 9, but her finishing burst could be effective if the pace lifts. Likely to hit the board.

3rd pick3rd

1Altiplano

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.60 · George Rooke

Altiplano is the clear standout on form despite being winless. He has placed in 4 of 7 synthetic runs, including a close 2nd two starts ago. In a weak maiden field, his consistency makes him the most likely winner, but the lack of a win is a concern.

2nd pick3rd

She gets an inside draw and a lightweight, suggesting further improvement.

3rd pickWon
5Madame Kleptomane

Our price $8.00 · SP $5.70 · Hayley Hassman

Madame Kleptomane is a place threat based on her 2nd at Ellerslie and a passable 5th on synthetic. However, she has not recaptured that form recently and faces stronger rivals. Still, in an open race, she can fill the minors.

Value pick8th
3Saltburn

Our price $10.00 · SP $10.60 · Abinith Simon

Saltburn is a veteran maiden with plenty of placed form but has yet to translate that to synthetic success. His weight advantage and ability to handle wet tracks give him a chance, but confidence is low.

2Lerado

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.20 · George Rooke

Lerado comes off a dominant win over this exact course and distance in BM73 grade three weeks ago, beating several of today's rivals including Delz Abeel. His synthetic record is excellent (2 wins, 2 placings from 4 starts) and barrier 1 offers a perfect tactical advantage. The 60kg weight is a query but he carried it comfortably last time. Looks the one to beat.

2nd pick2nd
6Kasukedo

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.20 · Jack Taplin

Kasukedo has been hitting the board consistently on synthetic, finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th in his last three starts over 1300m. The step up to 1550m is an unknown but his style suggests he can handle it. Lightweight with a 2kg claim makes him very competitive. Worth including as a place chance.

999th pickScratched
3Delz Abeel

Our price $3.50 · Michael Mc Nab

Delz Abeel is the track and distance specialist with three wins over this 1550m synthetic course. He has been consistent without winning lately, finishing 4th, 4th and 2nd in similar grades. The booking of Michael McNab (3 wins from 8 rides) is a positive. Still a major threat.

Value pickWon

Prometheus is a synthetic specialist who has placed in 6 of 7 starts on the surface, including a 2nd over this 1550m course in August 2025. After a few runs over 2000m he drops back to a more suitable trip and grade.

3Mister Meaner

Our price $4.00 · SP $2.40 · George Rooke

Mister Meaner is the clear form pick with a strong synthetic record and recent runner-up in a higher grade. Dropping to R61 from barrier 1, he maps perfectly in a race lacking pace. His consistency at this track/distance is unmatched in the field and he should prove hard to beat.

2nd pick8th
6Gold Card

Our price $10.00 · SP $6.00 · Lynsey Satherley

Gold Card has been racing consistently, including a good 4th at the track in a higher class. He drops to a more suitable grade and should appreciate the synthetic surface. While not a prolific winner, he profiles as a strong each-way contender and rates highly on form.

3rd pick4th
4La Cadiere

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Sam McNab

La Cadiere broke her maiden impressively on the synthetic and steps up in trip. The barrier and jockey booking are positives, but the class rise and recent heavy track failure are concerns. She could improve sharply on this surface and is a threat.

Value pick6th
7Cheap Sav

Our price $12.00 · SP $17.00 · Ashlee Strawbridge

Cheap Sav has a good synthetic record with two wins at this track but has struggled in recent outings. The significant class drop and return to his preferred surface could spark a revival.
