Tough gate for Gaze
JOCKEY Kathy O’Hara said Single Gaze would run a strong 3200m despite drawing poorly in gate 21 for the Group 1 Sydney Cup at Randwick on Saturday.
In her farewell to racing, Single Gaze ($21) is coming off a two-length fifth to Cup favourite Almandin in the Tancred Stakes (2400m) at Rosehill on March 31.
“I didn’t want to draw barrier one and be cluttered up, so that’s a plus ... but I didn’t make a plan for barrier 21 either,” O’Hara said. “She’s in careerbest form.”
Almandin is the $3.90 favourite after drawing gate five while Sir Charles Road is second favourite at $6.50.
