Mick Gannon’s Tips and Analysis

Clear Thinking

Unbeaten first-up and looks perfectly set up for this race.

The blinkers go on for the first time, and his two recent trials suggest he’s ready to explode fresh.

In a race overflowing with early speed, he’ll be allowed to settle midfield before launching late.

The one they all have to beat.

 

Compelling Truth

Might not boast the same class as the top pick, but he brings race fitness and a tactical advantage.

His run two starts back at The Valley when finishing behind Angel Capital reads well for this, and he’s drawn to get a lovely run just off the speed.

Expect him to give a bold sight at odds.

 

Front Page

The old warrior of the country ranks.

Proven at this level and maps to get every possible favour from a soft draw.

He’s another year older but still racing as honestly as ever.

No shock to see him right in the finish once again.

 

Listomnia

Needs the speed on to be at his most dangerous, but his best efforts stack up nicely against this company.

If they go hard early, he’ll be one of the strongest late.

Worth an each-way play for value seekers.

 

 

Mick’s Verdict:

It’s hard to knock Clear Thinking, who looks ready to explode fresh and has been specifically set for this race.

For those looking for value, Compelling Truth and Listomnia can fill the minors in what should be another cracking edition of the Kosciuszko.
