Kembla Grange November 25th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Kembla Grange Race 2
2
Tribeca Star $2.50
Tribeca Star is the horse to beat!
The Star Turn gelding produced a win for the ages last start against the track pattern, and he looks well placed on Saturday, meeting easier opposition.
The 1400m is ideal at this stage of the preparation, and with even luck in transit, I expect him to prove too strong late.
I am unsure if the inside barrier will be advantageous with his racing style.
Zouatica resumes here after a string of impressive barrier trials.
The Zoustar gelding traditionally races well fresh, and I suspect the big boy will be set for a first-up tilt.
With a clean start, he will roll forward from the middle gate, and if he gets any favours on top of the speed, he may prove hard to catch.

Cepheus $8.00
Cepheus doesn’t know how to run a bad race.
The Sea The Stars gelding was game in defeat in the Big Dance, and all runs this preparation have been full of merit.
Barrier four will allow him to run out a strong mile, and if he manages to carry the grandstand weight, he will figure in the finish.
The inform Nash Rawiller could ride a broomstick to victory at present, and I suspect his appointment will attract further market support.
Osipenko will start favourite after racing admirably in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes.
His trial has since turned heads, and he finds a suitable distance after a little freshen-up.
The Pierro entire will appreciate the significant drop in class, and if James McDonald can find him some cover from the wide draw, he will be there when the whips are cracking.
Best Roughie - Kembla Grange Race 8

Hard To Say $12.00/$3.80
Hard To Say is putting the picket fence next to his name.
The Exceed And Excel gelding hasn’t put a foot wrong all campaign, and he deserves his shot at this level.
The talented four-year-old loves the 1000m, and if he doesn’t get too far out of his ground during the race’s early stages, he can continue his winning ways.
This is his acid test.
Insurrection covered more ground than the early settlers first up.
The Russian Revolution was entitled to fade late. However, he never gave up the ghost and continued to hit the line strongly.
After his recent outing, he strips fitter and finds his pet distance on Saturday.
He can sit just behind the speed from barrier two, and if the gaps appear at the right time, he will loom to win.

Cepheus, Osipenko, Surf Dancer, Skyman, Detonator Jack, and Waterford will all be prominent in an open edition of The Gong.
Athelric, Malkovich, Cannonball, Bacchanalia, Dragonstone, Insurrection, Hard To Say, and Brudenell, will go faster than last week’s pay in The Warra, while Emperor looks to be one of the better bets on the program in the penultimate event.
We have gone extremely wide in the day’s final race, looking for some value and insurance.
Best of luck!
