The first of the group races tomorrow at Rosehill is the Todman Stakes for 2YO colts over 1200m, in a relatively small field Sepoy has opened as the odds on favourite and looks to be well suited but will be up against his toughest opposition to date. View the Todman Stakes preview.
1. Sepoy – Obviously goes into the race as the one to beat, has been very impressive in all four of his runs and is coming off a 4L win in the Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield last month. Has a massive wrap from opposing trainers and jockeys but we will see how good he is here when he faces what looks to be a much more competitive field of runners.
2. Foxwedge – Unbeaten at his two starts and was very impressive two weeks ago at Warwick Farm, goes into the race with huge wraps on him although meets Sepoy which could ruin his unbeaten record. One of the runners to test the favourite.
3. Smart Missle – One start for one win where he was slow to begin but had too much class to beat a moderate field over a month ago, has had a freshen up with a recent trial so should be fit for the race although i cant see him beating Sepoy.
4. Straight Gold – Jumped into Golden Slipper contention after a very impressive first up win at Canterbury last month winning by close to 5L but that form didn’t hold up when Besa Bola ran 4th at Newcastle yesterday, last start he did everything wrong and ran 3rd behind Satin Shoes. His performance tomorrow may be the only guide leading into the Slipper to the Sepoy and Satin Shoes debate, if he has his mind on the job he may figure in the placings.
5. Kid Kobe – Like the favourite he is traveling up from Melbourne, ran a very nice race last start behind Golden Archer only beaten marginally with the winner having race experience on his side. Should improve from that run and the stable is confident he can place tomorrow.
Selections: Sepoy, Kid Kobe, Foxwedge, Straight Gold
