Standouts:
Race 3, N4 Amor Victorious – Impressive winner latest in handy BM78 race at Rosehill. May find this a shade easier and will get the gun run throughout from the good gate. Still has further scope to improve and another forward showing is expected today. He has the highest SFR (statfreaks rating) in this race and the 3rd highest SFR at the meeting. James McDonald is going at an impressive 25%-win strike rate when riding in middle distance races and an equally impressive 22%-win strike rate when riding horse that settle on-pace. He teams with the B.Baker yard, together they are going at a solid 20%-win strike rate trainer/jockey combo and this is also James McDonalds best ride at the meeting as per our SFR.
Race 5, N2 Strombus – Worked home well last start over 1300m when only beaten 1.12L in a $150K race at Rosehill. Likely to have taken great benefit for the run and the rise to 1400m here looks ideal. Drawn to settle closer from the good gate and will be within striking distance on the turn. He has the 2nd highest SFR in this race and the 9th highest SFR at the meeting. James McDonald is going at an impressive 25%-win strike rate when riding in middle distance races and an excellent 23%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle midfield. He also has a very strong 30%-win strike rate when riding favourites.
