Tomorrow night sees the running of the BOTRA Cup and Chandon at Gloucester Park. Forgotten Highway, above, took out last year’s BOTRA Cup. Get the last word from all the contenders below.
RACE 1 – GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND 3YO FILLIES PACE
- Emily Suvaljko (CAPTAINS BEACHBABE): “Very good on Monday. Her past two starts indicated she’s a roller. Will look to roll along in front or in the breeze.”
- Chris Lewis (RUMOUR HAS IT): “She ran a nice race Monday. Happy with her. We have options.”
- Kyle Harper (STAR FOR ME): “Racing well. Has place claims.”
- Donald Harper (OUR STAR BILLING): “It’s an interesting one for her. Might have a look early. Was a little disappointing Monday. Hopefully we bounce back here.”
- (JOELENE): “
- Nathan Turvey (SHAKIRA BLUE): “Disappointing me. Dollies go on. Fingers crossed.”
- Chris Voak (BLACK JACK BABY): “Got a flat tyre Monday with 1000 to go. Hasn’t lost her gate speed. Hard to beat.
RACE 2 – CONGRATULATIONS AMBER & ALDO PACE
- Callan Suvaljko (EXTREME PRINCE): “Would have needed the run last start. Will lead and be very hard to beat.”
- Emily Suvaljko (BLACK JACK ZAC): “Still looking for a run from last start. Will drive positively.”
- Matt Scott (QTOWN RIP ROARING): “He’s an opportunist. He needs to go back and slot in somewhere.”
- Chris Voak (CARRERA MACH): “He will go very well. Second-up and it’s a suitable race.”
- Kyle Harper (THE BLACK CARDINAL): “Awkward draw but in his best form would be each-way.”
- Donald Harper (ALLWOODS ROCKNROLL): “Was held up last week. Barrier six doesn’t help. Assume we will be going back.”
- Aldo Cortopassi (BETTOR BE LIVELY): “He went well first-up. Peaked on fitness late. Silly place chance. Will roll forward off the arm and park up in the breeze.”
- (TWOANDAHALF TIGERS): “
- Chris Lewis (FREE TO AIR): “He was suited over 2500 last week and got home well. This is harder over the shorter distance.”
- Mattt Scott (C C CHEVRON): “She will poke along the fence.”
- Shannon Suvaljko (BAD ROUND): “In an even field he’s an each-way chance.”
RACE 3 – WWW.HORSEANDHOUND.COM.AU PACE
- Chris Lewis (POWERPLAY): “He should run well again. Take advantage of the draw.”
- David Thompson (MACHS GOLD): “He was good last week. He will be close enough.”
- Gary Hall Jnr (BATAVIA ON FIRE): “Has place claims.”
- (BETTOR BE OSCAR): “
- Emily Suvaljko (CROCODILE KID): “Will be driven for shortcuts and hitting the line.”
- Shannon Suvaljko (DEEORSE): “Racing really well. Will run on again.”
- (HENWOOD BAY): “
- Mike Reed (CAVEMAN): “It will be harder this week. If speed the is on he can wait and come with one run.”
- Jocelyn Young (BLOCKJORG): “Draw makes it tough.”
- (REGAL CHEVAL): “
- Michael Brennan (WHATABRO): “Good effort first-up. Most likely drop to the rail and follow the one and 10. Leave it up to Toot Toot to do his magic from there.”
RACE 4 – GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND AUSTRALIA & NZ WIDE PACE
- (TYLER BRETT): “
- Callan Suvaljko (ROCKNROLL WHITBY): “Up in class on last run. Will drive to get home late.”
- Nathan Turvey (SON OF A TIGER): “Not sure about him yet. Could surprise.”
- Aldo Cortopassi (LIGHTNING JOLT): “Will duck for cover first-up.”
- Lindsay Harper (THEREUGO): “It’s a fast front line. Not sure we can cross. Will be having a dip though.”
- Shannon Suvaljko (BRACKEN SKY): “Really unlucky last start. Good each-way chance.”
- Donald Harper (JESSE ALLWOOD): “He went well last week. Got the right run. Assume they want me drive him similarly here.”
- Chris Lewis (QUICK STRIDE): “It’s a tricky draw. Would think he’d be running home.”
- Gary Hall Snr (WILL I ROCKNROLL): “Hard to win until he draws.”
- Chris Voak (ULTIMATE OFFER): “The trainer is confident. Work has been better than ever. Perfect draw.”

- Ryan Bell (RADIANT AMBER): “Will hold front again.”
- Chris Lewis (SOHO PARTY GIRL): “Looks tough for her.”
- Lindsay Harper (JUST MAKEMINE DIAMONDS): “Was very happy with her on Sunday. Times weren’t that flash but she travelled strongly. Will roll forward and see what happens.”

- (FIFTY FIVE REBORN): “
- (DELIGHTFULREACTION): “
- Kyle Harper (SOUTHERN BELLE): “Draw hurts.”
- Nathan Turvey (MINI MINE YET): “Thought she was really good last week. Each-way.”

RACE 6 – GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND CHANDON
- Chris Lewis (OUR SEQUEL): “Hope we can take advantage of the draw. Will be forward to start with. Fair chance Al Guerrero has speed to cross but they might opt not to lead this time though.”
- (EUPHORIC MOMENT): “
- (WALSH): “
- Emily Suvaljko (JASPERVELLABEACH): “Will speak to Kristy but I’d say we would be driving him positively. Can give them something to chase if he finds the front.”
- Gary Hall Snr (GAMBIT): “He should go close.”
- Jocelyn Young (PIERRE WHITBY): “If the speed is on he’s always a chance.”
- Kyle Harper (AL GUERRERO): “In good form. Each-way with luck.”

- Shannon Suvaljko (VESPA): “Bad draw. Will run on.”
- Greg Bond (HOWARD HUGHES): “Pulled up well from Friday and is a good chance.”

- Michael Young (NEARIS GREEN): “Will run a big race in front.”
- Shannon Suvaljko (AWAITINGINSTRUCTIONS): “Nice horse. Racing super in the country. Targeted for this. Good chance.”
- Aldo Cortopassi (HIT THE SKY): “He’s honest if anything. Will try and jump as best we can and find the fence.”
- Matt Scott (PERLEE GATES): “Ran third in the last stand at Gloucester Park. He could definitely run a place.”
- Emily Suvaljko (BETTOR PACK IT): “Will see how well I can step her. Distance suits.”
- (DISCO UNDER FIRE): “
- Chris Voak (BETTOR COPAGOODONE): “Not at her best last week. Minstrel looks hard to beat. Can earn safe beginning.”

- Chris Voak (BOOM TIME): “It’s a tough race first-up from a freshen-up.”
- Chris Lewis (IM FULL OF EXCUSES): “If he can run top three he’d be going nicely. Even field. Four chances and could be speed on which would suit him.”
- Ray Williams (TO FAST TO SERIOUS): “The distance will suit him. He’s not an overly strong staying type. He’s more of a sit and kick horse.”
- Emily Suvaljko (BLUE BLAZER): “Just keeps impressing me. Has got a good turn of foot.”
