AU - Gosford - Race 3

KINGS GIRL (7) is a leading contender on debut for the Brad Widdup yard, who is the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track. Her latest solid third at Hawkesbury suggests she has been brought along steadily for this first assignment. The 7lbs claim gives her a useful weight profile and she has the right set-up to make an immediate impact. USAIN BOSS (14) brings the most established race form, with consecutive Tamworth seconds and a strong recent placing record, while first-time blinkers add another layer despite the fact he was turned over as the odds-on favourite last start. LIONS EYES (1) has placed in both starts at Hawkesbury and is clearly knocking on the door, though the top weight and wide draw make the task less straightforward. NAVY ROSE (5) debuts with first-time blinkers, two trials behind her and a family with early sprint performance, which gives her genuine each-way appeal if she handles race pressure.
