Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman believes trainer Joe Pride will win Gosford’s Listed Takeover Target Stakes (1200m) for a record sixth time this Saturday.
KERGUELEN Gosford Race 7 N9
“Sets up nicely for this. High rating BM94 win first-up then 3 wide no cover at his next run in a race where the winner (FLYING FOR FUN) should’ve won a G1 at her next start,” Ashman said.
“Then has 5 weeks between runs before settling back off a hot tempo in the Hall Mark Stakes. He was just behind PRIVATE EYE there and strips fitter into this easier task.
“Map-wise we think he gets that suck run midfield/maybe closer.”
The top price around for KERGUELEN as of Friday afternoon was $4.60.
Nic’s tips are striking at 50% since the beginning of 2024 with 38 collects from 76 selections.
