Best Bet: Garfiney Blaze (T2, 9.11 Central Park)
Next Best: Hopiehopiehopie (T2, 8.36 Central Park)
Treble: Alright Gordy (T6, 8.54 Central Park)
The opening round of the ARC Cesarewitch gets underway at Central Park this evening, and 2024 victor Garfiney Blaze (T2) appears all set to cement his place at the head of the ante-post market in heat six at 9.11.
Mark Wallis' charge had a productive year despite a spell on the sidelines due to lameness and capped off the season with a gritty success in the prestigious George Curtis & Ballyregan Bob final at Hove. He is not the slickest from the traps, but his abundant stamina holds him in good stead and this field could find it tough to cope with his all-round game.
The unexposed pair Droopys Flare and Deadly Disco line up in heat four at 8.36 and, although they have untapped potential over this 731m, it could pay to stick with the proven stayer Hopiehopiehopie (T2). Twice a winner over marathon distances at Perry Barr, she was pegged back in the latter stages over 942m at Towcester recently and the suspicion is that tonight's trip will be more to her liking.
Oxford raider Alright Gordy (T6) has impressively beaten all put before him at his home track recently and was dominant when drawing away over 650m last time. He continued to outrun his odds to reach the final of this competition last year and this early-paced, strong-staying individual looks primed for a big run in heat five at 8.54.
