The Kosciuszko 2024 Preview

Track: Soft 6 Weather: Fine

Front Page has a great record in this race. Should land on speed and prove very hard to beat. Far Too Easy will need luck from barrier 1 but brings in the class. Boom Torque is loaded with upside and should be hard to beat. Gallant Star resumed with an eye catching win while Compelling Truth is building a compelling record. Even field with plenty of chances.

2024 The Kosciuszko Runner by Runner

1. Bandi’s Boy (6)

Capable on his day and proven at this level and above. Form has been hit and miss but well placed in this.

Classy runner with a booming finish. Barrier 1 makes things tricky for it with its pattern but can win.

3. Front Page (5)

Deserving favourite who is proven in this race ( looking for a hat trick ) and flies fresh. Kept on ice for this affair, J-Mac booked and knows how to stay tough on any kind of run in transit. Very hard to beat.

Can’t have.
