Two sharp seconds and the market’s steaming, pal—top pick.

Race context
Race preview
SHESGOLD (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2 metres from the winner in second over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MAD MARY (9) finished 11th last start over 2200m at this track, beaten 180 metres, after a good second at Cambridge Raceway the run prior. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FATHER BARRY (11) last appeared when fifth over 2200m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. PATRICK MAHOMES (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway.
