Rotana Beach resumes on Saturday over 1000m. She had a short trial on Monday and went really well winning that comfortably. I think she has good ability and can make into a really nice filly as a 3yo. I expect a bold showing from her and although she will be fronting a couple of horses [...]
Race 1- Stoney Bridge will be making his race debut on Saturday in race one over the 1300m. He has come on well since his trial last week when showing us some encouraging promise. He sat in off the speed after jumping smartly and then finish off well. This will be the tactic I would [...]
The promising Malibu Style has excelled in the wet conditions at Belmont, to win the Del Basso Smallgoods Italian Day Handicap over 1000 meters, with a superb finish from back in the field. After jumping into a difficult position, Paul Harvey was caught three wide without cover back in the field, as Madassa skipped away [...]

Saturday we have four running. The first runner is The Blue Nipper a two year old having his second race start in race one over 1400m. This looks suitable to him after his first up effort when he ran home strongly to run second. He has since trained on well and I believe he can [...]

Jockey Steven Parnham will be sidelined for three months after undergoing knee surgery next Wednesday. The dual Kingston Town Classic-winning hoop had been managing the injury until recently when pain in his left knee worsened. Parnham had the option of delaying surgery and continuing to ride. But he chose to go under the knife and [...]
Race 1 - Disco Duck is in a maiden over 930m and on his trial last Monday he is capable of going quite well from a good draw in barrier one. He shows good speed and held on well in the trial so he should be prominent for a long way. Race 4 - Flying [...]
Today we have six runners two in the first race for 2yos. Race 1 - Run Ken is a horse that will make his mark in the future. He has shown promise in his trials and track work so expect improvement in this race. I took him back to the trials on Monday over 400m [...]
