In-form mare ESSENTIAL SKY can make it back-to-back wins for trainer John Sargent in the $55,000 BM72 Handicap over 2400m from Randwick, Australia on Wednesday.
ESSENTIAL SKY has been in a rich vein of form this preparation, winning two from four while placing a further one time. Her last-start win was ultra-impressive as it was her first time at the staying distance, however she relished it – as well as the Heavy 8 going – by coming with a barnstorming run to win by close to three lengths.
Meeting no tougher task on Wednesday, ESSENTIAL SKY looks well placed to win again.
Newnham-trained 4YO ready to rock’n’roll first-up
The Mark Newnham-trained four-year-old ASSIDUITY can score a first-up win when he resumes in the $40,000 Class 1 Handicap over 1200m from Gosford racecourse, Australia on Thursday.
ASSIDUITY is first-up off a six-month spell and, so far, has posted one win and two thirds from six starts. Either he came to the end of his preparation the last time he was seen when beaten out of sight in a $50k BM64 at Canterbury, or he failed in the Heavy 10 going. Or both.
However, ASSIDUITY has trialled very well on two occasions for his return, suggesting he’s primed for a big run fresh.
