Matt Young’s Tuesday Gloucester Park Preview Posted on August 18, 2026August 18, 2026 | Posted by Matt Young Race 1 BAZAAR PACKAGE (1) gets the perfect draw and is a talented front running type, she trialled well before being unplaced first up and expecting her to be very hard to run down in this. MIKIS PRIDE (7) is a talented type and looks a solid chance to make a strong return but will have to do some work in this. THE WAND WAVER (2) drawn to get a good run and is a decent place chance. SISTER CHERIE (6) returns but looks a tricky draw with the speed to her inside and same story for ART IDEAL (8) who will have be driven sit and kick, but he has the fitness and form to overcome and get into the money potentially. Tips: 1 7 2 8 Suggested Bet: BAZAAR PACKAGE (1) to win. Race 2 ALFA JESS (6) looks a strong chance to work across and find the top in this, she has been a beaten favourite on a few occasions but hit the line well on Friday and this is a suitable grade, will run well. STAR OF ORION (8) has had two wins in his career, and both have been from the breeze, may have to do it again in this but is capable. BUT JOE (12) will be better for the first up run and will be getting home well. MY SALINA (1) ideally drawn and is a novelty chance with JACK CARROWACK (9) a winning chance but is relatively inexperienced and drawn poorly. DUNCAN TWENTYTWO (10) is an outside chance. Tips: 6 8 12 10 Suggested Bet: ALFA JESS (6) each way. Race 3 Looks to be some speed in this. MACHANE SAID (10) gains my attention again and will need some luck but do think he is racing quite well and with any luck in running from the draw I expect him to hit the line strongly. BULL SHARK BETTY (11) was a good effort on Friday night, and this is an easier assignment but will rely on some tempo, which looks a strong chance. STIRUP IRON JACK (5) will charge forward and look for the top; he likes to over race so the middle distance could be detrimental to him if he fires up. MAJOR MANHATTAN (7) is ready to run a bold race but is normally driven for one run and likely must get back. BALTIC ACE (9) is racing well but faces a tricky map. FRANKENSTEINSBRIDE (1) has the speed to lead early and has decisions after that, racing soundly. STRIKE MASTER (2) and FUEGO CRUZADO (4) both racing well enough. Tips: 10 11 5 1 Suggested Bet: MACHANE SAID (10) each way. Race 4 Open race. ZLATO (12) is racing well and consistent and can punch through and be handy in this and with that consistent form I think he can feature in this. TRUE GRIT (2) is a winning chance if he can get to the top but has been mixing his form, is a genuine on speed type. PRINCE OF TRIBECA (8) is racing consistently with IDEAL TOMADO (7) and both like to be on speed. UNLUCKY (3) was solid on return and must be respected in this. BETTOR MOVE ALONG (5) is good enough but faces a difficult draw map wise, PRIDDAH (6) ready to win but isn’t a quick beginner. MARTYR (10) over raced last time out and drawn to be locked away on the pegs and SLIPALONG SAINT (11) a place chance. Tips: 12 2 3 8 Suggested Bet: ZLATO (12) each way. Race 5 SPORTING GRACE (2) was a solid effort last time out and has the draw to bounce on the bunny and run well at the mile, when she’s in form, she is very hard to run down at this distance. CHIEF COPY (11) will be punching through and should lob in the first few and likely to finish off well. PHILTHEJUG (4) may have to do some work in this race, but she is a one paced type. EN PARIANT SUR (6) not at his best currently but it’s a suitable grade. GRACEFUL SHARK (7) and BE HOME SOON (9) both capable of improvements but drawn poorly. Tips: 2 11 4 9 Suggested Bet: SPORTING GRACE (2) to win. Race 6 Where to look. GEARSINAWHIRL (1) has the speed to lead and at the mile they may look to hold but as we know, he will be feeling the pinch late and will likely be run down. FIREBALL FRIDAY (2) won first up and will be looking for the top but there is some decent speed to her outside. JORDANO (5) needs to lead but will be coming off the arm hard. OURFIRSTIMPRESSION (12) is racing well enough where he can be used in the final circuit and finish well. SONIC SEELSTER (10) needs some luck but in these races the gaps don’t often open in the concluding stages. THE MERCENARY (6) could be an improver first up for Hayden Reeves. Play the value in an incredibly tricky race. Tips: 12 5 1 2 Suggested Bet: OURFIRSTIMPRESSION (12) each way. Race 7 MAAS ATTACK (5) has put in some good form since returning, now fourth up into the preparation goes under the care of Aiden De Campo and looks to dash to the top and have them chasing throughout, very hard to beat. MISS BEJEWELED (6) is from the same stable and returns with a lot of high speed, small field suits and will get home well. NOD FROM ABOVE (2) will lead early and look for cover, SHEZABECA (4) may have a look but needs to cross to be a top 4 contender if they use her off the arm. MA PETITE DAME (7) was slightly disappointing last time out but overall has come back well and the last run was in equal track record time. NOT SO SWEET (8) is well named as she has got some tricks. Tips: 5 6 2 7 Suggested Bet: MAAS ATTACK (5) to win. Race 8 PANNA COTTA (6) won a trial in steady time on a wet day at Byford, has some early speed and could be looking for the top here, looks hard to beat with natural improvement off the trial. MADE FOR ME (9) has been racing better fields but faces the tough draw which could be counteracted with her gate speed, can get forward and handy. ALLWOOD DEAL MAKER (12) looks an improving type and needs a touch of luck but expecting to run home well. WILD THYME (11) has shown promise and now works to the care of Aiden De Campo, keep safe. MIGHTY MILLIE (7) has had no luck as of late, but the draw doesn’t scream good luck. FORTITUDE PHIL (4) was a better effort last run and can continue the improvement. Tips: 6 9 12 11 Suggested Bet: PANNA COTTA (6) to win. Race 9 SUN PUBLISHER (4) is suited in this grade; he has a few strings to his bow and the small should see him lob handy to them and be threatening. HAVEYOUMETTED (1) may look to try and lead this and has been racing well enough to do so and give them something to catch. TRAVELBAN (2) is racing just soundly, has options from the draw. CORDERO (8) can be put into the race and think he’s ready to run a good race. BEAT THE BANK (6) is racing consistently and will be a chance with SOUND WAVE (3) and BEACH CAPTAIN (5) both going well enough, but the former looks to get the softer run here. Tips: 4 8 1 6 Suggested Bet: SUN PUBLISHER (4) to win. Market Market
