Race 6:
GALAXY STAR (7) Bold effort to win two runs back at the track and possesses good closing speed. Should take beating. MATERIAL MAN (1) Proven record when third up with 3 wins from 4 attempts. Brave effort to win three runs back at Belmont and has been racing in stronger company. Big chance. GATTING (2) Got the cash when winning three runs back at this course and back in an easier grade. Each way prospects. PERFECT JEWEL (9) Does take a while to get into stride. One in a race with many chances
Selections: 7 Galaxy Star, 1 Material Man, 2 Gatting, 9 Perfect Jewel
Sportsbet – Race Comments and Selections:
Race 6:
No surprises here with GALAXY STAR locked in on top. Showed her elite talent with an phenomenal Railway Stakes triumph and was always going to be up against it from barrier 13 when upstaged by superstar stablemate Arcadia Queen in the Kingston Town Classic. The run in defeat was mighty all the same, and she really should sit back and swoop right over the top in this more suitable, smaller field. MATERIAL MAN is a star and the obvious danger, and no surprise to see him take up the running. GATTING is flying and must be respected, while PRYING TOM was massive in the Kingston Town last time.
Selections: 7. Galaxy Star, 1. Material Man, 2. Gatting, 6. Prying Tom
Betfair – Race Analysis & Selections:
Race 6:
1. Galaxy Star (5 stars)
2. Material Man (5 stars)
3. Perfect Jewel (4 stars)
Race 6:
GALAXY STAR placed last start in the Kingston Town Classic and has been flying of late, rates a long way in front. MATERIAL MAN amongst the placegetters last start running second in the Kingston Town Classic. Placed in the Railway Stakes and Kingston Town Classic this campaign, could threaten. GATTING placed in the Railway Stakes this campaign and ran fourth last start in the Kingston Town Classic, not the worst. PERFECT JEWEL won all previous races as a favourite and likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected, consider in exotics.
