Standouts:

Race 6, N8 Daytona – Having second start for the T.Gollan yard since joining the stable. Wasn’t beaten far fresh and will likely have taken great benefit from the run. Has been more than competitive in much stronger races in the past and should find this a suitable assignment second up. Will press forward from the wide gate and enjoy a soft run on speed and will look the winner at some stage. He has the highest SFR (statfreaks rating) in this race and the 5th highest SFR at the meeting. James Orman is going at a huge 29%-win strike rate when riding in sprint races and an equally impressive 26%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle on-pace. He also has a huge 39%-win strike rate when riding favourites.

Race 8, N2 Desert Icon – Only narrowly beaten last start in Group 3 company and will find this another suitable assignment. Looks a race of minimal chances and staying at the 2400m looks ideal. Handles all conditions and looks comfortable at the top of the market. He has the highest SFR in this race and the 9th highest SFR at the meeting. James Orman is going at an impressive 24%-win strike rate when riding in staying races and a solid 15%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle on-pace. James Orman also teams with the C.Waller yard, together they are going at a huge 40%-win strike rate trainer/jockey combo. This is also James Ormans best ride at the meeting as per our SFR.
