Razor Sharp Handicap 2023 Preview
Track: Good Weather: Fine
Lots of chances in this race. Insurrection has a brilliant record with Lloyd aboard and this is a suitable race. Recommendation has been around the mark and is good enough to take this out. With Your Blessing can take the next step after a strong last start win while Rocketing By is hard to catch but capable enough of taking out a race of this calibre.
Razor Sharp Handicap 2023 Runner by Runner
1. Frosty Rocks (6)
Prefer others.
2. Rocketing By (7)
He’s becoming impossible to catch but always capable of bobbing up and winning at odds. More than good enough for these and races well on this track but wins are very spaced. Good enough to win.
3. Insurrection (8)
4/4 with Lloyd aboard and he can make it 5. This is a suitable race and should get a tow into things from barrier 8. Hard to beat in this field and Lloyd has a very good opinion of the horse. Very likeable claims.
4. Sinawann (12)
Prefer others.
5. Recommendation (1)
Hard to beat and has been having a very good prep. Should get a great run from barrier 1 and brings in some strong form. The stable have a fantastic record in stakes races and will just need luck at the right time getting off the rails.
6. Waihaha Falls (3)
Maps well and should be strips fitter but wins are spaced and can be hard to catch. Best is good enough and the price looks right. Top 3 chance.
7. Barossa Rosa (2)
Prefer others.
8. Fox Fighter (9)
Like some of these can be hard to catch and tends to get too far back in races. When things fall into place he is good enough for these but always requires luck with the racing pattern.
9. Dynamic Impact (10)
Prefer on a different track where he has a better record at.
10. With Your Blessing (5)
Maps for a spendid run and good enough to handle the rise in grade. Light weight suits and Schofield is a prominent booking. This race is within reach.
11. Devil’s Throat (11) – SCRATCHED
12. Perfect Thought (4)
Needs to find its best to threaten.
