HOWDEN AUSTRALIAN GUINEAS DAY, 2 MARCH
Results
BERMADEZ (2) on top in what looks a two horse race. Three runs this time in have netted three second placings, beaten under a length in the Coastal Classic at Geelong last time. Fancy the mile is his sweet spot and he should go close. SUPARAZI (1) is racing very well. Just even two back at Randwick, he was strong late over this course and distance last week at odds. No reason he can't win again. Of the others, BEEHUNTER (6) could improve having been too bad to be true at Caulfield last time. SISSOKO (5) strips fitter off the first up run but would need to improve lengths. PORT GUILLAUME (4) will need the run but might be best of the next two.
