Our free Saturday best bets for Sydney head south to Kembla Grange this weekend, with a cracking 10 race card highlighted by three Group 2's including the Run To The Rose Stakes.
The track is currently rated a Good 4 and the rail is out 5m from the 1100m to the winning post and 2m for the remainder of the circuit.
With warm weather ahead, I expect a firm racing surface with on-pace runners to hold a slight advantage.
Kembla Grange Race 3 Tip #6 Cgonac $15.00
This 5YO gelding is deep into his second Australian prep and looks set to finally run up to his overseas form.
He's quite a quirky horse who can over-race and often does a lot of things wrong, so the booking of regular jockey Jean Van Overmeire is ideal.
The step up to 2000m is the key to this galloper, who produced a career peak at this distance at Newmarket on a Good track.
He's been given a tick over trial which was a good watch for connections, especially seeing him power through the line under his own steam.
From barrier 1, JVO can lob to the lead and carve out even sectionals.
If he can control things from the front, he'll give a huge sight and could well put a gap in these.
Kembla Grange Race 6 #8 Written Beauty $6.00
I was keen on this girl fresh off some super trials, which pointed towards her returning in career best form.
Unfortunately she missed the kick hopelessly, which ended up costing her the race. She powered to the line from a long way back, recording the 4th fastest last 600m (32.70) of the meeting in what was a super return.
She's drawn well in barrier 2 and if she jumps cleanly this time, she'll have half the job done.
She's 2 from 3 second-up and is 4 from 6 on a dry track, so she profiles beautifully here.
There was good support for her first-up and I expect the money to come for her again Saturday.
She's a fast horse and when she puts it all together, she will win some very nice races.
Kembla Grange Race 10 #6 Kingsheir $3.40
I'm keen to stick with the Hawkes trained Kingsheir in the last.
He looks well suited third-up from a spell, coming off two good runs.
First-up he was dominant over 1300m at Randwick, scoring by a widening 1.6 lengths. He then ran a narrow 3rd when held up slightly over 1500m at Kembla Grange behind Kordia.
He's rock hard fit now third-up and stays at 1500m which looks ideal.
Getting back to a firm track is the key to his winning chances, with all three of his wins coming on a good deck.
From the inside gate with Tim Clark aboard, he maps to get an economical run in the race.
With even luck in the run, he'll be awfully hard to hold out.
