Gosford Guineas – 2023

Track: Soft Weather: Fine

Royal Tribute comes up favourite and will be hard to beat in this winnable race. Maps a treat from barrier 3 and the stable are having a brilliant year. Fleetwood is capable of taking out a race like this. Chrysaor is well placed but will need some luck from barrier 10. The young gun apprentice Schiller does the steering.

1. Chrysaor (10)

Good enough to win with luck from the draw. Will know its fate early on this track.

2. Sovereign Fund (7)

Racing well and does have the class to win this. Barrier 7 is slightly tricky but can land up on the speed and give a sight.

3. Royal Tribute (3)

Should be able to lead these up and has a class edge on the field. Well respected by the market and rightly so in what is a very suitable race. Hard to beat and deserving of favourite.

4. Fleetwood (5)

Good enough to take this out and maps for a lovely run from barrier 5. The stable have been having a dry patch but Fleetwood has shown glimpses of talent to date and can win this.

5. Flying Trapeze (2)

Can’t have.

6. Bojangles (8)

Likeable efforts to date. Gutsy win last start and is capable of going on with things in this.

7. Metallic Ruler (11) – scratched

8. Misty Legend (1)

Resumes off a break and has been good to date. Should have every hope from barrier 1 and the market will reflect its chances.

9. Infatuation (4)

Starting to show the talent it did early doors and has come back well this prep. Maps well from barrier 4 and should prove hard to beat.

10. Infancy (9) – scratched

11. Cosy Corner (6)

Can’t have.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.
