Tarry’s Bless My Stars steps out in Race 7 (Pic – JC Photos)
Trainer Sean Tarry sends out Bless My Stars in Race 7.
She returns from a 12-week break and will have her first run for new owners.
She ran a good race when third in the Gr1 Betway Summer Cup last time. She won her only attempt over this course and distance.
The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight runs well for Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa and she should be too good for this field.
Willow’s Wish represents decent each way value in Race 6.
He was not beaten far in the Listed Dr Richard Maponya Handicap last time.
He has won three times, finished second twice and third twice from nine starts over this distance.
He jumps from a good draw of two and if getting away to a clean start, he can return to winning ways.
Here’s a look at the trainer comments:
