Gosford Race 5

SIR TICK (1) was out of the placings last time when fifth at The Gardens (30.25) but scored four back at Maitland (22.57). Reliable out of the boxes and should take advantage of the inside draw. Has ability and is a key runner. EL REY (8) is a promising type who notched his 8th career success when too good (29.72) at this track last time. Hard to go past form here at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can make it back-to-back wins. JUNIPER ROSE (2) will take beating coming off a useful 29.79 victory at Q Parklands over 520m. Top win latest and rates a key player again. NOVA REIGN (7) scored by one length last time (29.97) in a Grade 5 over 515m at this track. Already a winner from this draw.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (29.79) over 520m at Q Parklands. Goes very well from this box including three wins. Leading player.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 515m at this track in a handy 29.72, beating Trunkey Mink. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
