Ladies Day Cup – 2023

Track: Good Weather: Fine

Open field. Skyman is going well and maps kindly. New Mandate needs to lift on form but strikes a winnable race. Jojo Was A Man also drops back in grade and goes in the mix here. Steely was a good winner 2 starts back and a repeat sees it in the finish while Cisco Bay is good value in this race and can go close with the right run.

1. Skyman (3)

He is having a good prep and this does look his level. Maps well from the good draw and will take beating in this highly suitable race.

2. New Mandate (5)

Has to lift but gets a drop in class and the in form Parr. Good claims.

3. Jojo Was A Man (7)

He gives this a shake on best form. Has the right running pattern and will take catching if things fall into place.

4. Cuban Royale (1)

Always capable of popping up at big odds.

5. Steely (8)

Good win 2 starts back. Top 2 chance and keep an eye on the market for support.

6. Cisco Bay (9)

Still racing in good fashion and drops in grade. Likes this kind of level and should give this race a shake.

7. Promitto (2)

Just fair this prep but Gibbo and the good draw helps. Place chance.

8. The Seven Seas (6)

Consistent operator that maps well and gets the right race here. Likeable claims.

9. Scorched Land (4)

This may be too tough.
