Key is the dry track for this mare. Was okay on a heavy track on debut in a strong form race. This is easier. Recent trial strong for this weak race. Maps to land on-speed and gives a sight.

Race 3 | 3. Barefootinthesnow

Was slow away from the inside draw on debut and was spat out the back to last in a slow run race. She’ll learn plenty from that, expect her to improve out. Danger is Lady Mariana who trialled well.

Race 6 | 7. King Of Dragons

Produce a prep peak at Canterbury when leading over 1550m last start. Maps for a soft lead here, back to 1400m I expect him to be very strong late.

Sam Hyland

BALLARAT

Race 3 | 1. All Eyes On Erin

Has only had the one run last preparation and wasn’t hopeless, should be improved with the time under her belt and this combination when they have a bet are very good.

CANBERRA

Race 3 | 3. Barefoot In The Snow

Was good at the only run last time and will be better with time, has drawn ideally to get a great run and can win.

PORT MACQUARIE

Race 6 | 10. Canal

Has been very well placed this preparation and is drawn to get a sweet run here, it is stronger but I think ready for the step up.

CLONCURRY

Race 4 | 3. Dance Wizard

Will appreciate the 3kg claim here and this pilot Will Galloway is a jet, he will have dance on the bunny and be too good.

All the best punters!
