Warwick Farm   04 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(7)

TAB HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.64)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. ERNAUX (10) is a beautifully bred daughter of Group One winner Booker back from a spell. Raced once in the maiden prep when she worked home well for fourth over this distance at the Kensington track. Big chance with the race experience on board. SWORDPLAY (8) is a full sister to smart sprinter Recommendation on debut for Bjorn Baker. Two trial wins have been highly impressive. Looks a ready-to-run type who is sure to attract interest. Stablemate JARRITO (2) also steps out for the first time. By I Am Invincible from Spright who has produced two winners from her only two foals to race. Trialling well and looks to have ability. KNOWING LOOK (3) is a half-sister to the smart mare Lumosty on debut for Waterhouse/Bott. Trials have been okay. Being by Justify a bit more ground will probably suit. One for the exotics. Les Bridge's first starter MAJESTIC LEGEND (4) is going well on the track and can feature without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Ernaux but a healthy respect for Swordplay.
