A Class Above is back again this week and we couldn’t split two horses so we’ve got two horses for you to follow over the coming weeks.
Kumasi 2YO Colt (Snitzel x World Joy)
- Trainer – Gerald Ryan
- Gosford Race 2 – 1000m
Deniki 2YO Filly (Not A Single Doubt x Isurava)
- Trainer – Mark Newnham
- Gosford Race 2 – 1000m
It might have been a maiden over 1000m at Gosford but it will be worth following the first two past the post going forward.
Deniki set a solid tempo up on the pace and displayed a nice turn of foot at the top of the straight with an impressive late speed rating, the filly was also strong on the line kicking back late after looking like dropping off late, holds nominations for the Golden Slipper but feel the ideal race this preparation looks to be the Group 2 Percy Sykes Stakes over 1200m (currently $26).
The Gerald Ryan trained Kumasi looks to have a bright future, sat just off the solid tempo set by Deniki and showed a nice turn of foot late to get the job done, most impressive part of the colts win was the way he hit the line indicating the further the better so at the current price of $26 in the Todman Stakes over 1200 looks great value.
