Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman has dismissed any concerns about the wide gate for Epsom favourite AUTUMN GLOW at Randwick on Saturday.
Randwick R8 N4 AUTUMN GLOW
“Unbeaten in six starts. She went from $1.90 to $2.40 when she drew the outside in gate 14. But 8 of the last 13 Epsom winners have jumped from a double digit barrier,” Ashman said.
“Her ratings are superior to these. Perhaps a wide run on a fast tempo at her first go at the mile is the small risk?
“If the speed is on then she probably slots in one off the fence. We might look back at this day and say how did AUTUMN GLOW go around $2.25 with 54.5kg on her back?”
The top price around for AUTUMN GLOW as of Friday afternoon was $2.20
Nic’s tips are striking at 53% since the beginning of last year with 27 collects from 51 selections.
