Gatton tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.50 · Kayla Barker

The safest of the chasers. Moonlight Odyssey keeps finding the placings, her stable-and-rider pairing is firing, and she has handled rain-affected ground. Her concern is an untried mile from a slightly awkward gate, but with the leader likely to set a soft tempo she can lob into a stalking spot and be the one running on.

Miss Ellyse is the overlay in a race with little depth. She gets the gun run from gate two, has a placing at a similar trip and showed she handles wet ground when third on a heavy track.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.80 · Kelsey Lenton

She is an on-pace type with a strong trainer/jockey combination and a recent trial win, and she gets back to a sprint for the first time. The wide draw (10) is the major query, as Gatton strongly favours inside gates over 860m, so she must be good enough to overcome it.

Our price $9.00 · SP $7.00 · Rebecca Wilson

A veteran front-runner who leads and has twice placed at this track and trip. However she has never won in 28 starts and comes off an erratic effort with a manners warning, and her stable is yet to win this preparation. Worth an each-way ticket on her positional edge.

The speed of the field and the one to run down. On a track where leaders win a third of the time, his early dash is a real asset. The wide gate is the worry, but he has the speed to cross and control the race.

Our price $8.50 · SP $19.00 · William Galloway

Genuine wet-tracker who has won three times on soft ground and drops in class off a pair of close-up seconds at a higher level. On her best she is right in this. The problem is the wide gate over a sharp 860m at Gatton, where inside draws and on-pace runners dominate; she will need luck and a soft run to land a blow from out there.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Kayla Barker

He is a proven performer at this trip and has won at Gatton, and he arrives off back-to-back country wins with a rider who has never been beaten on him.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Archie McColm

Shedrivesabentley brings the best and most consistent recent form into this weak restricted staying race. Her rider and stable are both going well and she handles the wet ground. The knock is her habit of settling well back, so she needs the race to be run to suit her late surge.

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.00 · Danny Peisley

California Grass is one of the few proven wet-trackers in the field and drops slightly in grade, and her closing second two starts back showed she still has a strong finish. The soft going plays to her strengths and her rider is going well here. The negatives are her modest winning record, her backmarker style at a track that favours on-pace runners, and a plain last-start effort, so she is a place-only proposition.

Our price $16.00 · SP $21.00 · Kayla Johnston

Hell Of A Prince is the each-way/value angle. He is the likely leader, and on a Gatton track and in a restricted grade that clearly favours on-pace runners, that front-running style is a real asset. He won his only previous start over this trip when allowed to lead and he handles soft ground.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.00 · Isabel Jessop

She won her trial well, gets in light with a claim, and may race handily, which suits this circuit. The worry is a trainer who has managed just one winner from 20 recent starters, and first-starters can be unreliable in these conditions.

Our price $12.00 · SP $41.00 · Kenji Yoshida

He led and was only beaten a whisker over 1100m last start, and his on-pace style is precisely what wins these Gatton soft-track sprints.

Our price $3.40 · SP $4.20 · William Galloway

Majestic Louvre ticks the Gatton soft-track template: he goes forward and from gate five should either lead or take the box seat behind the topweight. He brings the strongest recent form, closing hard for second at Warwick and beaten only a length when fourth on soft going last start. The knock is his trainer's quiet run.

Our price $7.50 · SP $13.00 · Nozi Tomizawa

Ocean Joy is the wet-track specialist of the field, with a win and three placings from six soft-track starts, and she drops sharply in grade. She was doing her best work late at Toowoomba last start, finishing well after a slow beginning.

Our price $8.00 · SP $16.00 · Archie McColm

Handles the on-pace role that Gatton rewards and comes from a yard firing at this track. Steps up in grade but is lightly raced and on the up.

Our price $9.00 · SP $11.00 · Nozi Tomizawa

Front-runner drawn ideally in gate three and drops out of tougher company. A soft-track winner with a good record of placing on wet ground, he should be prominent from the outset in a race that suits on-pace types.
