Gold Coast Race 3: #1 Arabian Summer @ -105.26

Tony & Calvin McEvoy will send Arabian Summer to the Gold Coast for her fourth start this preparation, coming off a dominant victory in the Magic Millions Ballarat 2YO Classic over 1000m. After recording a valuable Group 3 placing in the Ottawa Stakes at Flemington the start prior, this two-year-old filly led from start to finish to rocket up the Order Of Entry for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on January 13. As the only Listed or Group placed runner in the field, Arabian Summer should prove too classy for her rivals and bring up back-to-back victories.

Randwick Race 2 #8 Our Kobison @ +220

Our Kobison is returning from a 150-day spell on Saturday and will be looking to continue building on his already impressive resume. The lightly raced four-year-old has three wins in five career starts to date, with his latest barnstorming effort to secure victory coming at BM72 level at Warwick Farm on August 9. Trainer Angela Davies has kept the son of Kobayashi fresh since that performance, only allowing the gelding to step-out once in an outstanding tick-over barrier trial at Wyong on December 15. This will prove to be Our Kobison’s toughest task to date, and with some luck from barrier seven, we’re confident he can continue his winning ways.

Geelong Race 6: #9 Rey Magnerio @ +145

Rey Magnerio from the Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock barn has not been seen since winning in impressive fashion at Flemington on November 11. A winner of four of his six starts, the four-year-old gelding is certainly a horse worth following throughout his career, and we expect he will be too good for his rivals on Saturday. From barrier six, Jye McNeil will be able to stalk what looks to be a genuine speed over the 1100m, and with a few non-winners amongst this lot, Rey Magnerio should be bringing up a third straight win on Saturday.

Ascot Race 2: #2 Here For Cheques @ +150

After recording back-to-back placings in recent starts, Here For Cheques has found a very winnable race this Saturday. The Bernie Miller-trained gelding was trapped out wide for the entire trip last start but battled on gamely to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths behind Civvy Street over 1600m at this track. This son of Universal Ruler has been working up to a win this campaign, and his tough effort over this trip in his most recent run suggests that a win is around the corner. From barrier three, Holly Watson should be able to settle in the one-one position and allow her mount to get rolling before the home turn and kick clear at the 300m mark.
