Race 6 – Friday At Five
Jockey – Jaylah Kennedy
1857m – Barrier 5
Last start winner Friday At Five returns to the Wimmera looking for a repeat of her performance a fortnight ago. The four-year-old mare was strong in victory at Ararat over a mile, pulling clear late to win by almost two lengths. Today she steps up in trip which looks to suit, and the daughter of Zoustar has drawn for a favourable run. Claiming apprentice Jaylah Kennedy takes 4kg off her back and can settle behind the leaders, looking to find clear air rounding the home bend and finish over the top of runners. Lord Goldberg was a big winner last time out and will go forward from an outside draw, giving the Dwyer galloper a bunny to follow in the run. It looks the main danger to Friday At Five who will prove very hard to beat if she runs up to her performance last time at the races. A freshen-up awaits the mare following today’s run with an eye to Warrnambool in the May carnival.
Currently, Friday At Five is a $3.80 chance in the market.
