Matt Young’s Friday Gloucester Park Preview Posted on July 23, 2026July 24, 2026 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 SHIMMERING (2) has the nice draw to burn to the lead here, has had excuses in recent runs and likely to be given her chance in this and will run a big race. MANUKA BAY (8) has plenty of speed and could be pushed off the arm, brilliant win at Pinjarra in the fillies feature and can justify favouritism. IM CATEGORY FIVE (7) comes in fresh but is highly talented, has speed and can settle close to the speed, keep safe. A PRECIOUS GEM (3) burnt hard in the lead time last start and prior to that the form had been strong, respect as a chance. EL RAES GIRL (9) will be running on with CHEFS KISS (11). Tips: 2 8 3 7 Suggested Bet: SHIMMERING (2) to win. Race 2 ART IDEAL (7) will be sailing across and looking for the top, brilliant front runner and the mile suits, will run a big race and seems to go well when Kylah Madden jumps aboard, big chance in this. IDEAL INTEREST (3) has the speed to lead early and is a consistent performer, looks a chance to run into the money and will be looking to hold BET ON THE RIVER (4) and ERA (5) who are both racing well. WALL STREET GIRL (8) would be better suited to the middle distance, but this class suits, go well. TRAVELBAN (10) needs some luck but is ready to win. ILLAWONG MUSTANG (12) will be running on. Tips: 7 8 3 10 Suggested Bet: ART IDEAL (7) to win. Race 3 SWEET COCO (6) is suited in this grade and can be cuddled early before pushing to a dominating position and will look to be too strong for them late, she has got a few tricks but is talented and has plenty of high speed. ELWADDELL (2) is suited in this to use his speed and look to bounce on the lead and will give them something to chase. BAZAAR PACKAGE (4) trialled well but looks unlikely to lead on return, should settle close enough and looks a novelty chance. LOU LAMOUR (11) will be running on strongly, loomed up but couldn’t land the killer blow last start. CHACO EAGLE (12) will be running on and BEAT THE BANK (1) is a novelty chance. Tips: 6 2 11 4 Suggested Bet: SWEET COCO (6) to win. Race 4 CAPTAINSHAVTIME (1) gets a draw where she will lead and get to show her best, good front running type and has been racing just soundly when unable to lead, wouldn’t want to dive in too short but looks hard to run down. CAMS BOULDER (10) has the perfect draw to be dangerous late, winning chance with even luck. FRANCO ENCORE (12) trialled well and will be running on strongly, suitable grade on return. OPAL HUNTER (11) is a capable type but needs some luck with other chances including MAXIMUM ROCK (7) and LUCCA (8). Tips: 1 10 12 7 Suggested Bet: CAMS BOULDER (10) to place. Race 5 HOTLY PURSUED (5) is a flying machine off the arm and will be looking to cross, good win last start and is an exceptional front runner, looks a strong chance in this. BETTORS PRIDE (12) has been flying but will find this a bit more challenging. MIGHTY RONALDO (9) returns and is a proven free for all pacer, interesting tactically how he will be driven but has the class to overcome most maps in this grade and get into the money. HALE SAINT LOUIE (1) is a novelty chance with SWEET PINS (6), YOURE SO FINE (7) and ALTA TRIBUTE (10). Tips: 5 9 12 1 Suggested Bet: HOTLY PURSUED (5) to win. Race 6 IM LIGHTNING BANNER (8) can be driven like the best horse in this race and looks well placed by the team, in top form and can get the job done. BLING IT UP (3) could be a sharp improver, has good early speed and race on the speed. CAPTAINS CREEK (4) racing well but this seems a bit tricky for him. ALTA ALLURE (12) will be running on strongly and looks a strong top 4 player with novelty chances to JINGLING JEWELS (1), DEL BOCAVISTA BAY (6) and SAIFA (11). Tips: 8 3 12 4 Suggested Bet: IM LIGHTNING BANNER (8) to win. Race 7 ELITE FLEET (12) is suited in this grade and has the versatility to be put into this whenever they choose to, could be a little bit happening early before being put into the race. SEBASTIAN JAMES (9) faces the wide gate but strips fitter, will be in the thick of it. MADDY ROCKS (1) can be cheeky in a front running position, has the draw to lead and will run well. COLD HARD CASH (10) is a novelty chance with UNDER THE ALTA (5) and TWOBOB CRACKER (11). Tips: 12 1 9 10 Suggested Bet: ELITE FLEET (12) to win. Race 8 SHEER ROCK LADY (6) didn’t have any luck last time out and from a front row draw will be driven positively and can bounce back to her best, strikes a suitable race and is hard to beat. SYNCRHONIZER (4) and DIAMOND WORLD (5) will both run the gate solidly and both are chances if leading, the former can improve in this grade. JILL MACH (1) is a top 4 player for your novelties along with MINOR CATASTROPHE (12) who will be running home with her high speed. CIGANDA (9) returns from a wide gate, has early speed but may be conservative on return. Tips: 6 4 5 1 Suggested Bet: SHEER ROCK LADY (6) to win. Race 9 CAPTAIN SAID SO (9) better suited in this grade, wide draw to overcome and had his chance to get the win last time out but can go one better, hard to hold out. FROM TIGERLAND (12) is improving with every run and is versatile, will be getting home strongly but follows out a steady beginner. SPUDMEISTER (4) is a winning chance, could charge out and look to lead and give them something to catch. PRINCE OF TRIBECA (8) steps up in grade from a tough draw, has improved recently but needs some luck. MISTER KOPA (2) a novelty chance, hit the line well last time out and SOHO CONFIDENTIAL (10) is going well but needs luck from the draw. Tips: 9 4 12 8 Suggested Bet: SPUDMEISTER (4) each way. Race 10 HI SUGA RUSH (6) will be charging out and looking for the top, comes in fresh but his best is suited in this, would like to see him lead this as he will be hard to catch. CORDERO (9) needs some luck but the two runs back from a spell have been good, will be running home strongly. RAKERO RAIDER (5) has been luckless in recent runs, map is a little bit tricky but can win with even luck. CALL TO ARMS (2) is a novelty chance as he can use his early speed and settle close. TRUE GRIT (4) capable but hasn’t been at his best in recent runs, could be driven positively. GOODTIME LOUIS (8), RELLIM (7) and ARIONROCK (11) all novelty chances. Tips: 6 9 5 4 Suggested Bet: CORDERO (9) each way. Market Market
