18 JAN 2023 – Happy Valley

Race 8 no 2 California Deeply, can win again. He is a classy 3 years old and a top 3 finishing efforts is expected from most selections experts. California Deeply, needs to overcome a weight increase after finishing fifth in his local debut over this Course & Distance race with two sweeping victories over reopposing rivals. He is still untapped and has claims to make.

Horse no 5. Pretty Queen Prawn has shown good versatility to fill the frame in all five Course and Distance runs this term, including two wins in Class Four, and was only beaten late by California Deeply in his most recent start in this grade. He reopposes significantly better off the weights, but will face a difficult task from gate nine.

Beware of Horse No.1 Special M has filled the frame in three of his four Course and Distance starts this season, including a solid second to California Deeply while carrying 134 pounds, but will face stiff opposition from gate 10 carrying top weight. Gorgeous Vitality finished third to California Deeply in his first race back from knee surgery in July. He’ll have tightened up in preparation for the run and will go close.

Enjoy the final race and stay cool!
