Harvey Norman The Lamont Classic

Mr Peasant has jockey Jean Van Overmeire aboard, who is riding 48% above expectation across his last 100 rides, and a barrier 1 draw that should afford a soft run. The case leans on the jockey's hot form and favourable gate position. Class and market positioning are a concern worth monitoring.

This horse is resuming after a spell with no established first-up record to lean on, so early sectionals will be crucial to assess how it's pulled up. The main positive is a soft barrier draw (2) that should allow it to find a rails run and avoid traffic early. Watch how it settles in the first half of the race—that will tell you whether the freshen-up has done good or if ring rust is a factor.

Sunquist is resuming today off a promising barrier trial where it finished 2nd, beaten only half a length, and has drawn barrier 3 which should allow a soft run. The main thing to watch is that this is a first-up run after a spell with no established record at the races following time off — so while the trial form and draw are encouraging, we don't yet know how the horse will handle the step up from the jumpout to race day.

Ultimate Warrior is racing for the first time after a break, so there is no established record to assess how it performs fresh. With no standout speed figures, recent form margins, trainer/jockey strike rates, or track-and-trip credentials provided, the case for this runner does not rest on concrete recent evidence. The main thing to watch is how it performs on return from the spell.

Termeilian's case rests on the N J Olive and Amy Mc Lucas combination, who are striking 69% above expectation over their last 100 runners — a significant edge in stable form. However, two material unknowns frame this runner: it is first-up from a spell with no established pattern yet, and blinkers go on for the first time today. Watch how it settles in the early stages and whether the blinker application sharpens focus after the break.

Tallingas Warrior has the in-form Jason Lyon in the saddle, who is riding 23% above expectation across his last 100 rides — a concrete edge in execution. However, the case is shadowed by two material concerns: the horse's recent form is a question mark, and there are class-level worries that need watching as the race unfolds.

Largo Larrikan is first-up from a spell with no established first-up record to reference, which is the main thing to watch. Without standout speed figures, recent margins, or notable rating drivers to lean on, this runner presents limited concrete evidence of current form or fitness. Punters should wait for the run to reveal where the horse is at after the break before committing.

Star Of Lily resumes today with a strong record fresh—1 win from 2 first-up starts—and brings the quickest recent time figure in the field at 9.3 seconds under track par, suggesting genuine speed. The N J Olive and Coriah Keatings combination is striking 47% above expectation across their last 100 runners, a material edge. The main watch is the barrier, listed as a concern, which may require a positional adjustment to make the speed and freshness pay.

Eyes Right has recent speed in its favour, which forms the core of the rating case, but must overcome a wide barrier 12 of 12 that will require tactical execution to convert that form into a winning position. The main thing to watch is whether the jockey can navigate from the outside and get the horse into a competitive spot, as the barrier is a material concern against the positive recent form signals.
