Eagle Farm Race 3: #8 Antino @ $3.10

We opposed Antino last start when he had to lump 61.5kg from the widest barrier and we were made to look like a fool when he strolled over the line to record an easy win after leading from start to finish. Therefore, we will be back on his side this Saturday in the Wayne Wilson. This four-year-old gelded son of Redwood hasn’t been winning by far this preparation, but he has been winning arrogantly from the front, middle or back of the field. Just like the Sears’ with Yellow Brick, Tony Gollan was pushing for Antino to gain a start in the Stradbroke Handicap; however, his rating wasn’t high enough to gain a start, so he must settle for this race. With a small field of nine runners taking their place in this race, we expect to see this guy go to the front and sit outside Bigboyroy and try to replicate his last start win and extend his winning streak to five and his career record to eight wins from nine starts.

Randwick Race 4: #1 Kibou @ $2.40

Kibou is set to make his much-anticipated return to racing after a 287-day spell and we see no reason why he can’t return as a winner. His previous campaign saw him beating some of the best three-year-olds in the country – including the likes of Golden Mile and Osipenko before suffering a set-back which forced this gelding by Maurice to the paddock. He’s had two impressive barrier trials heading into this first-up assignment and Kibou doesn’t seem to have missed a beat. He’s won both his jump-outs with a sense of authority and despite the fact he’ll need to carry the hefty weight of 60.5kg in BM78 company on Saturday, he looks supremely placed by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. He clearly possesses the most upside of this field and although some key rivals have a fitness edge, we still expect Kibou to lead and kick clear of his opposition turning for home.

Sandown Race 8: #2 He’s Our Bonneval @ $3.50

In the penultimate race of the day, He’s Our Bonneval will be looking to strike third-up from a spell. The Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained runner comes to this 1300m event on the back of a strong showing over 1400m on May 27. He was a touch unlucky last time out when bombing the start and needing to use up a bit of energy early, and that tolled late when peaking on his run inside the final 100m to be beaten by a length. Third-up and back to the 1300m looks ideal for this gelded son of Siyouni, and with Wiremu Pinn’s 3kg claim he gets in perfectly with just 55.5kg on his back. He is proven on wet ground, and as long as he does not get caught in traffic from the rear of the field, He’s Our Bonneval should be too good for this Benchmark 84 field.

Morphettville Race 6: #2 Another Ponzi @ $2.15

Our best of the day from Morphettville comes in the opening leg of the quaddie when Another Ponzi from the Richard & Chantelle Jolly barn steps out over 1400m. The three-year-old gelding has won both of his starts this campaign at Balaklava in impressive fashion and gets his chance in town to show his abilities. He will be close to the speed throughout, potentially in the one-one and if he lobs there under Jake Toeroek, he is sure to take some beating. Another Ponzi has reeled off some nice sectionals in both of his starts and anything close to those efforts should see him saluting in a race like this.

Belmont Race 8: #8 Category Three @ $2.70

After receiving a ‘10 out of 10’ ride from William Pike last start at this track over 1200m, Category Three from the Adam Durrant yard took her record to three wins and four placings from nine starts. This daughter of Xtravagant appeared badly held up approaching the 200m mark, but somehow Pike found a needle eye gap and this four-year-old mare burst through to put up a winning margin within 50m and held on to win first-up. After constantly finishing as the bridesmaid last preparation, it was very good to see this girl run through a gap and attack the line, even though she appeared as though she was waiting for her rivals once she hit the front. With the benefit of a run under her belt and Pike sticking with her for this race on Saturday, she is a clear on top selection for us in this race, and if she gets even luck in the final 300m, Category Three should be winning.
