Matt Young’s Friday Gloucester Park Preview Posted on July 2, 2026July 2, 2026 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 KINKY (2) will be trying to keep the advantage and push her way to the top, she has been in a better mood in recent runs and is a much better horse when on speed, looks hard to beat if she can hold up early. WHEN IN VEGAS (6) has good early speed and could try and charge across, winning chance if he could hit the rail. SHES A TINY DANCER (1) ideally drawn to be close enough in any scenario and is a solid novelty chance to outside winning chance. STORMYSKYES (3) will be driven out hard looking for a forward spot, she is another one who is a chance if she could lead. BLAZE AWAY (8) and ARTFUL MAJOR (9) both hard to suggest from their respective draws and MANHATTAN MOON (10) a novelty chance. Tips: 2 1 6 3 Suggested Bet: SHES A TINY DANCER (1) to place. Race 2 BEYOND THE SEA (3) is third up into the preparation and has good early speed, can hit the rail here and that is where she does her best work, looks hard to beat in this, luckless since returning. CHACO EAGLE (6) is knocking on the door but faces another tricky draw to work with here, will have to go forward and do some work early but likely to be close enough. HUNGER STRIKE (4) is a capable type but appears a step or so below her best as she finds a bit harder as she goes up in grade. INSTA GATOR (8) has been trialling well but faces a tough draw on return. KURIOUS BOY (1) a novelty chance but early speed a concern with other chances to IMA FIVESTAR GENERAL (9), PAROQUET (10) and WHOS THE DAD (11). Tips: 3 6 4 9 Suggested Bet: BEYOND THE SEA (3) to win. Race 3 FABULOUS DREAM (2) comes in fresh but was racing in top form before going for a break, looks a strong chance to get to the top and give them something to catch but race fitness the only concern. DEL BOCAVISTA BAY (1) hit the line bolting last Friday night and has shown he is up to the grade, should get a good run and look threatening at some stage. OUR CRUNCH TIME (8) is a nice type and likely must do some work in this grade, likely be in the breeze. SWEET COCO (3) has the high speed to be close enough and feature, she is an enigma though. OPAL HUNTER (7) racing well but faces a tricky draw with ELITE FLEET (10) needing luck from the draw. Tips: 2 1 8 3 Suggested Bet: DEL BOCAVISTA BAY (1) each way. Race 4 LUCCA (1) gets the draw and has the speed to boot through and lead, best draw he’s had this preparation and hasn’t had much luck in his races, expecting a solid improvement here. BETTORS PRIDE (5) is the class and won well last time out, must be respected again. MAXIMUM ROCK (9) was a good effort last time out, he is a versatile type and should run well in this, ready to win. PETES HONOUR (11) has hit the line powerfully 2 of his last three and will be dangerous again with some luck. MASTER PUBLISHER (2) is running well and drawn to be close enough. CAMS BOULDER (4) is racing in top form, winning chance if he crosses but SOHO MOONRAKER (3) could cause early issues for that and he has come back well. Tips: 1 5 9 11 Suggested Bet: LUCCA (1) each way. Race 5 CHIVALRY (1) draws well and is a good on speed type, will be coming out looking for the top and I think he can hold the lead and be hard to run down in this. SWEET PINS (10) will be sweating on a clear run but if the run comes, he will be igniting late and looks dangerous again. JUSTCALLMEMIKI (11) looks suited to watch things unfold and move into it, respect his chances. HEAVENLY GIPSY (2), YOURE SO FINE (4) and BRICKIES DREAM (5) all have early speed and all chances if they could lead. YOURE SO FINE (4) has strings to his bow and can still feature without leading. HOTLY PURSUED (9) is a devastating front runner but doesn’t look like he can get across and might have to come with one run. Tips: 1 10 11 4 Suggested Bet: CHIVALRY (1) each way. Race 6 Open race. WALL STREET GIRL (4) lacks the early speed which is a concern but wherever she lobs I think she will be looking to get forward once they settle, go well in this class. MAJOR DISCO (6) will be in the thick of it; he won last start but was protesting it. ME FLASH (9) racing well but faces a tough draw, this grade is tougher. LADY CAMEL (11) has elevated in recent runs and must be respected. SYNCHRONIZER (1) a place chance on current form, has the draw to pick and choose. HENRIK LARSSON (7) best is good enough; he is mixing his form since returning. Tips: 4 6 11 7 Suggested Bet: WALL STREET GIRL (4) each way. Race 7 DIAMONDSAREFOREVER (6) looks a strong chance to lead in this with MINOR CATASTROPHE (5) a big chance to cross and look for cover, and the little mare could be the first one there, she is racing well and looks hard to beat if I’ve read the race right. MINOR CATASTROPHE (5) will be better suited this grade as they won’t run the overall times as quick as last run. DIAMOND WORLD (11) will be running on and is a consistent performer. LUCKY COPY (8) is capable but can mix her form. SALSAWITHSIERRA (9) needs luck from the draw and MISS VINCENZA (7) is in the same boat, has come back soundly. Tips: 6 5 8 11 Suggested Bet: DIAMONDSAREFOREVER (6) each way. Race 8 DOURADO (9) was good on return and is a versatile type in this grade, his high speed will be hard to hold out and is fitter for the first up effort. FLYIN DISCO (3) will be looking for a forward position, he needs some positive reinforcement from time to time but has been building to a strong performance and this looks suitable. PINNY NOIR (4) is racing better without being used early and from the draw will still be close enough. JINGLING JEWELS (1) a novelty chance from the draw. HOLD THE AMMO (7) could improve and run a better race and likewise LEAVEAMESSAGE (5). Tips: 9 3 4 5 Suggested Bet: DOURADO (9) to win. Race 9 JAMIE KIM (2) can use his early speed and bounce to the lead, has been knocking on the door to break through and this looks a suitable grade, will be hard to beat. IDEAL INTEREST (10) is racing well, and this class is perfect but will have a few traffic issues to work with, should position up okay being the only runner off the back row and will look threatening. THE RIGHTEOUS (3) was solid last time out and can carry that form on. TRUE GRIT (5) is capable but unlikely to lead which is where he does his best racing. MYSTA MOON WALKER (6) also looks to need to be on pace. Tips: 2 10 3 5 Suggested Bet: JAMIE KIM (2) to win. Race 10 Open race. BLUE BLAZER (9) has that good turn of foot, has good early speed if they push the button but in this can sit up and go whoosh from the back of the field and look threatening, it’s not easy to do but he can achieve it in this. ROCKABILITY (3) comes in first up and has the ability but might need the run, big chance to be cheeky if he could lead. STIRUP IRON JACK (2) is a solid chance to lead early and can get keen that is why his better form is at the shorter trip. GO JACK CROCKER (7) forget he went around last time out, suitable grade and can show his best. ERA (8) punched through last run and then ran into bother late, has the high speed to come on well from the back of the field. IL BANDITO (10) a novelty chance. Tips: 9 7 8 3 Suggested Bet: BLUE BLAZER (9) each way. Market Market
