Early mail and Blackbook Update for metropolitan racing on May 21.

ROSEHILL SATURDAY

RACE 5 (8) DREAMFORCE: Appeals as a rising talent after resuming with an impressive maiden win over 1400m at Kembla Grange when he dictated from the front and was never put under pressure to win plenty in hand. Placed at Canterbury at his only previous start in December and get the impression his high strike rate stable hold a good opinion of his potential.

RACE 8 (11) HARLEM LADY: This promising Zabeel mare really made an impact with her impressive first-up win at Warwick Farm when she came from last at the 600m with a super turn of foot to win running away over 1400m. It was her second win in eight starts and was a performance that suggests she has returned a much improved mare. Expect to see her ridden cold from her wide draw and again finish over the top of them.

RACE 9 (3) SEBRING SUN: Quality three-year-old is primed for his first start since December off two strong trials – a win at Rosehill and soft third at Warwick Farm – that dispel any doubts about his fitness. Cannot get away from his G1 form when third in the Golden Rose against the likes Exosphere and Speak Fondly, he’s drawn to enjoy the run of the race and well weighted carrying only 1.5kg over a high limit of 57.5kg.
