Ryal Bush trainer Brett Gray has a large team racing across the ten race card at Winton tomorrow.

Here are his thoughts on their form and chances.                                                               

Race One: Party Up Denario (Lather Up) 

“We’ve had a wee few troubles with her. This week she’s got a good draw. If she goes as good as she did the other day from a bad draw, she’ll be half a chance,” Gray said.

Race Two: High Return (Bettor’s Delight)

“We’ve given him a bit of a freshen up and I’ve been quite happy with his work.”

Race Three: Daisymerollin (What The Hill)

“She’s a bit of a slow learner. We’ve given her a freshen up as well. She’s had no trials or workouts but she seems to be trotting nice at home.”

Race Four: Red Hot Filly Pepper (Sweet Lou)

“She’s been going alright. She can just pace a bit rough and that’s been costing her, but I think she’ll go pretty good this week.”

Race Five: Arma Forrest (Downbytheseaside)

“He’s been racing in better company. He’s had a bit of a mud rash and has only come right. He’s quite a tough bugger and a chance.”

Race Seven: Nek Delight (Bettor’s Delight)

“She had a bad draw the other day and finished right in behind them on the bit. She’s a funny wee thing and it’ll be interesting to see how she goes.”

Race Ten: Better Time (Bettor’s Wish)

“I really like this mare. We’re coming in fresh here. She had a really hard run last time and didn’t really eat for a couple of days. We’re happy with her work and she’s our best bet.”

Race Ten: Drummershavtime (Art Major)

“He’s been pretty consistent and is one of those horses that always seems to draw really well. He was very unlucky the other day. He’ll be a good chance.”
