Gosford Race 2 - Sharp Ds Super Mdn Hcp
DECLAN (1) opened his career with a solid effort over 1000m at Kembla, racing on the speed then finding plenty to be beaten just a length. Sure to improve with that race experience onside, and a further 100m looks a good option. WRITTEN IN WRATH (5) is a first starter by Written By from a mare that produced three-time stakes winner Daisies. Trialled over 1050m at Randwick recently and bolted in. Looks a ready-to-run type from the Waterhouse/Bott yard. SPHERE (6) is a half to the Newmarket winner Cylinder who is progressing nicely. Came from well back to get up for second last time out over this distance at Warwick Farm. Winning hope with further improvement on the cards. The lightly raced OLIVIA TWIST (10) wasn't far away first-up at the Farm and has plenty of scope for improvement.
