WA GUINEAS OVERVIEW <\/h2>\n
\n

Track: <\/strong>Ascot | Distance:<\/strong> 1600m | Type:<\/strong> Group 2 3YO SW | Rail Position:\u00a0<\/strong>True Entire | Expected <\/strong>Track<\/strong> Condition:<\/strong> Good 4 | Prizemoney: <\/strong>$500,000<\/p>\n

We saw some wildly fast times and an impossibility to make any ground on Day 1 of the Pinnacles and I reckon they\u2019ll be looking to even things up, which can often lead to an over-correction. Horses like Alaskan God<\/strong> and Amelia\u2019s Jewel<\/strong> skipped last week, which turned into a godsend for two natural back markers. We can do all the pre-planning and preparation we want, but when a deck like that is presented, the form goes out the window and the speed maps become integral. With the rail back to the True position, it is worth remembering that this inside pad was clearly off when racing here last. Can we expect improvement or are we going to want to find nags who are settling off the pine? Early shoppers beware.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

WA GUINEAS SPEED MAP<\/h2>\n
\n

This will be run at a good clip. With Man Crush<\/strong> (gate 16), Saintorio<\/strong> (15), Snowdome<\/strong> (10) and even Santa Brae<\/strong> (14) drawn wide, there will need to be some proper intent shown from those hoops to get across and find a position on speed.<\/p>\n

What makes things more interesting and should ensure a really good tempo, is that those drawn well \u2013 Lord Gannicus<\/strong> (1), Demolish<\/strong> (2), Bustler<\/strong> (4), All The King\u2019s Men<\/strong> (6) and Swear To God<\/strong> (7) \u2013 all possess good gate speed, which means it isn\u2019t just a simple amble to the top for the poorly drawn runners. This should ensure a proper tempo.<\/p>\n

Forget Snowdome\u2019s start in the Fairetha Stakes. You could actually see him in the air when the starter let them go. Usually a very reliable jumper and I expect that to resume on Saturday. With Saintorio and Man Crush drawn outside of him and the latter of that pair, he’s probably a better horse when finding the rail. It wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they show real intent to get across, leaving Snowdome with some cover. The alternate option is Chris Parnham channelling his ride on War Saint in the 2019 WA Guineas and taking some real ownership from the front. If we get a deck like last Saturday, it could be a winning move.<\/p>\n

Swear To God has the best gate speed from the well-drawn list above. Should cross most of those under him and find a spot in about 4th-5th with the major dangers in behind. The three market elects have drawn alongside each other in Bustler, All The King\u2019s Men and Amelia\u2019s Jewel. Should be a fascinating tactical battle. Bustler clearly has the most gate speed and can land in front of that duo if Steve so desires. The query probably is does he want to give that pair the cart or would he prefer to be the one chasing? While Amelia\u2019s Jewel has drawn a nice alley, with the speed coming across and around her, she\u2019s still likely to end up in about 8th-to-10th spot. That\u2019s her normal racing pattern anyway, so no harm done. She very well might be having the final pop in the Bustler\u2013All The King\u2019s Men train.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

WA GUINEAS KEY RUNNERS<\/h2>\n
\n

1. Snowdome\u00a0 –<\/strong>\u00a0Only SP\u2019d slightly longer than Bustler in the Fairetha when his race was cooked after rearing in the machines. It\u2019s often understated the negative effect using that early fuel can do for a horse racing on speed. Prior to that, he arguably wins the Belgravia Stakes without the interference received. So you quickly start looking at him as a slightly forgotten horse. Big advantage with being on speed is the now-sanctioned use of a whip to stop other runners as they go by #perthstewards.<\/p>\n

2. Saintorio – <\/strong>The barrier draw is a real shame for this bloke as he\u2019s fit as a fiddle and now proven over the mile. Finished under a length off All The King\u2019s Men two starts ago and meets him a kilo and a half better (and is triple his price). Needs a serious steer from Brad Parnham, but if we see a similar style deck to last week, you get the feeling he\u2019s the on-pace type who will not lay down.<\/p>\n

3. All The King’s Men – <\/strong>Held up the entirety at his second start, deep throughout at his third, held up the majority at his fifth and left in the unsuitable breeze at his sixth. He\u2019s three wins from 9 starts, but that could easily be 5 wins or 6. Incredibly brave in the Fairetha Stakes when it took Bustler the entirety of the straight to wear him down. You just know that Paul Harvey will be up for this tactical battle throughout and may even relish being drawn directly outside the two favourites (Pont won\u2019t be opening the door for you). With the heavy-hitter owners finally arriving on course from Port Hedland, you\u2019d expect that finds him at least a length.<\/p>\n

4. Man Crush – <\/strong>Ugly old draw for a real tough on-speed type. Might have some designs on finding the fence, but you wonder what type of fuel he\u2019ll have to use to get there. The booking of Clint Johnston-Porter on the less-credentialled stablemate is eye-catching and may give an indication on a stable pecking order.<\/p>\n

5. Swear To God – <\/strong>This has to be the forgotten runner. It was only timing which kept him out of the Ascot features in his initial campaign when his only defeat came at the hands of Snowdome (after sitting deep the majority and finally working to the breeze in an off-pace dominated race). Resumed with a second to All Show (nobody was beating All Show that day) before knocking off Written Matter in a RB 66+. Funnily enough, he almost lost some admirers that day (myself included) as we felt the win should have perhaps been a little more dominant, which – after seeing Written Matter brain them at its next outing – may have been a fairly harsh assessment. All The King\u2019s Men & Bustler have beaten up on the older opposition by bigger margins, but that form is significantly inferior. He was basically held up the entirety behind Big Screen at his next start, but it was clear he was going super. Like the booking of Shaun O\u2019Donnell as he\u2019s got the gate speed to come across and sit just behind a strong tempo and he\u2019ll suddenly go around at $20.00+ after being backed ($4.60 to $3.30) to beat the likes of Rokanori, Above The Peg and Playing Marika at his most recent.<\/p>\n

6. Bustler – <\/strong>Shot into WA Guineas & Northerly Stakes calculations after a couple of dominant performances in the reserves (Miss Vasari, Sweet Tea, Capricorn Man form hasn\u2019t been overly franked). Finally stepped into the big time and it showed the class disparity of those races when he was made to really earn his win under the vigour of Steve Parnham. Four from four, the soft draw and a preparation which has basically been faultless. Very hard to knock and will understandably be super popular with punters.<\/p>\n

7. Rejuva King – <\/strong>Never want to put a line through a Daniel Morton runner, but this looks a tough assignment. Did beat the older horses in similar fashion to Saintorio before a little freshen up – and you know that Danny always has them peaking for Grand Final day.<\/p>\n

8. <\/strong>Lord Gannicus – <\/strong>Pretty disappointing at his most recent and his prior form was against moderate midweek opposition. From the inside marble, with reasonable gate speed he becomes a major \u2018road-block\u2019 chance.<\/p>\n

9. Demolish – <\/strong>Similar to Lord Gannicus, he will be outclassed here, but does have gate speed and a gate to work with. Maps nice, but lacks the class.<\/p>\n

10. Upper Limits – <\/strong>The first thing I think about every time I see this horse nominated is the pair of ‘Upper Limitz’ shorts I owned when I was 14 that nearly made it to my ankles. Thought I was anything. Reckon they still wouldn\u2019t fit me now. Super run in the Fairetha Stakes behind two of the 3 hot-pots. He\u2019s probably a length off the top-liners, but is a definite top six or 7 hope with the consistency in his performances. Should eat up the mile.<\/p>\n

11. Sunny Honey – <\/strong>Super in the Placid Ark Stakes a week ago and is a really wild point of difference runner in this. Prior effort when 1.8 lengths off Prawns Eleven was made on a cold cutaway and if he does run out a mile, he could finish significantly higher than his SP would suggest.<\/p>\n

12. Mojo’s Luck – <\/strong>Clearly talented, but still yet to master the art of leaving the machines. Clint Johnston-Porter is a noticeable booking when you perhaps would have expected to see him booked to the better credentialled Man Crush.<\/p>\n

13. Catch These Hands – <\/strong>This has all come a bit too soon for this bloke, though does look like making a nice race horse.<\/p>\n

14. Santa Brae – <\/strong>If Ross Price ends a reasonable run out of outs here, it may well see me retire from punting. A tough assignment would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

15. Amelia’s Jewel – <\/strong>The darling of WA racing, she was simply unstoppable from any position in her debut campaign. I\u2019ve always had a theory that some two-year-olds simply don\u2019t return the same horse or improve with their opposition, which has led to me looking around her at the very short quotes first-and-second up. Felt she was only fair in both trials and got given a 20\/10 ride by Patty Carbery on the right part of the track for her first-up win (third horse copped interference and Rumour Says was held up the entirety when very likely winning the race). Then she couldn\u2019t get past Laced Up Heels (when again, given a peach on her back) in the Burgess Queen Stakes. Her trainer Simon Miller has openly said it\u2019s been a progression this campaign and I actually feel the market has more adequately priced her here (close to $3.00). Is the weighted runner on rating and Pat Carbery gives her peach after peach. Deserves favouritism.<\/p>\n

16. Linden Lady – <\/strong>Huge improver in the Champion Fillies Stakes with William Pike willing her into a very valuable black-type placing.\u00a0 Will be ridden in a similar manner here and being the only runner backing up from last week’s Group 3. She does have a real strong point of difference.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

WA GUINEAS SUMMARY <\/h2>\n
\n

I was a little disappointed post-Champion Fillies Stakes when I\u2019d speculated that the market differential between the top two and the rest was perhaps a little wide without really acting upon it (I still haven\u2019t backed a post-race loser). Perhaps the way I\u2019m heading this week is an over-reaction to that, but I\u2019m not going to be to overly perturbed if any of the three market elects win at their current quotes. Clearly there is next to nothing between BUSTLER<\/strong> and ALL THE KING’S MEN<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

AMELIA’S JEWEL<\/strong> is my clear market elect. She\u2019s the weighted runner, she\u2019s drawn an alley and is a deserved favourite. It\u2019s simply a case of her being below a bet price for me. It\u2019s interesting to note that none of the runners who filled a top 5 spot in the Burgess Queen (behind her and Laced Up Heels) ran any type of race in the Champion Fillies (3rd, 4th and 5th in the Burgess Queen each ran 7th, 8th and 11th \u2013 well below their market SP order).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s far from a declaration, but at the price, I\u2019m happy speculating on SWEAR TO GOD<\/strong>. He\u2019s dodged the 3yo features thus far this prep, but his battles against the older horses have clearly been the tougher assignments from the others to take on the older brigade (Bustler, All The King\u2019s Men and Saintorio) and he probably should have won the most recent. The only thing lacking from this race is the lack of fillies. Amelia\u2019s Jewel\u2019s trainer Simon Miller has very aptly described it as \u2018The Big Bash\u2019 for the girls and you\u2019d love to see the program allow a slightly bigger gap between the Champion Fillies and WA Guineas to get a few more of them involved. Still, it\u2019s a cracking race with a fascinating tactical aspect with the 3 fancies drawn alongside each other.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Terry specialises exclusively in Western Australian thoroughbred racing (from Ascot to Mt Magnet and anywhere in between). Terry has always been a little unique in regards to his analysis of the form, with the eye, speed-maps and knowledge of each individual horse's characteristics, far outweighing the analytical and data side of the game. As the ease of accessibility to all forms of data increases with time, Terry believes those with a 'non-figure' related edge should continue to have a strong point of difference. Terry co-hosts the One-One WA Racing Podcast with BJ Ryan, doing the deep dive for each and every Saturday metro meeting, as well as a detailed written analysis available weekly on the Betfair Hub.","url":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/author\/terryleighton\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2797"},{"taxonomy":"brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/brand?post=2797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
