Race 6 — Watson McNamara & Watt Guyra Cup 1400m · jumps

Race preview

The Watson McNamara & Watt Guyra Cup is a 1400-metre open handicap at Armidale on a Good 4 surface in fine weather, jumping at 4:55 pm AEDT. Shamedy heads the win market from Zamborghini and Ghost Walker, with Get Some Fun fourth in the order. The midfield is stacked—Indifference, Shamedy, Night Fighter and Haze all map there—whilst Ghost Walker leads from barrier 1 and Zamborghini and Get Some Fun sit onpace. King Kikau alone heads to the back.

Shamedy is the shortest price and the form case stacks up. The gelding won at Bundarra over this exact trip, thrashing a small field by 12 lengths, and AAP rates it as freshened and ticking both the track and distance win box. With 11 wins from 43 career starts, Luke Rolls' booking is no accident either—the jockey is outperforming his career average by 26 per cent across his last 100 rides. That's a sharp combination, though stepping into a stiffer BM84 field is the legitimate edge the market should respect. Zamborghini offers a contrarian lean. The gelding won on debut and boasts a hot trainer-jockey combination outperforming market expectations by 128 per cent; D J Hatch and Zac Wadick are genuine form plays. Zamborghini held the minors at Scone over 1600 metres on soft ground and now drops to 1400 metres, a distance switch that suits. Rating 75 is modest for a runner with early speed in a track that backs that asset.

Ghost Walker and Get Some Fun command attention lower. Ghost Walker, shortest-priced on early form, failed to threaten at Newcastle last start but Ben Looker's jockey booking sits 27 per cent above market expected across his last 100 rides—he's dialled in. Get Some Fun won its only run at Armidale and posted a sound Taree effort without troubling the winner; mapped onpace at barrier 4, the gelding carries an advantage this circuit suits. Night Fighter deserves a glance too. Jenny Duggan is overperforming her career average by 53 per cent and sits 65 per cent above market expected in bookings—when a rider is that hot, connections notice. The bold play leans Zamborghini at the price as the value sits away from the market's favourite.

AAP

Got back and wasn't totally disgraced at Scone first up. Strips fitter and takes a 3kg claim. Distant place hope only.

ILB

Odds of $17.00 and came in 8th last run at Scone but back to more ground. Paige Fergusson Smith provides some weight relief. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

RP

Track has proven suitable before; not beaten too far when eighth at Scone over 5½f (handicap) last month; interesting as shown promise on occasion and he has scored on second run after a break before.

RSIS

Odds of 16/1 and came in 8th last run at Scone but back over more ground. The large claim from Paige Fergusson Smith helps. Expecting a strong showing.

AAP

Freshened. Thrashed a small field at Bundarra over this trip. Ticks the track and distance win box. Stiffer task now but don't undersell.

ILB

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by more than 12L last time at Bundarra and solid performer at this distance in the past. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Tough competitor.

RP

Clear-cut winner by 12l (Bundarra) last month; this C&D holds no fears; every chance.

RSIS

Ran away with a win by over 12L last run at Bundarra and strong performer at this trip in the past. Tracking very well lately but facing stiffer opposition. Winning chance.

AAP

First-up (26-weeks). Seasoned galloper best over longer these days. First time around Armidale. Tough ask fresh off the long lay-off.

ILB

Resumes after a 26 week spell. Odds of $201.00 and weakened to finish 16th last start at Gosford but has a good draw. Back to a shorter trip. Tough ask.

RP

Last of 16 over 1m2½f at Gosford (handicap) in May; others more appealing as doesn't have a good record when fresh.

RSIS

Fresh after break of 26 weeks. Started 200/1 and faded to finish 16th last run at Gosford but gets a favourable stall. Will be dropping in distance. Rising in weight.

AAP

Resuming (19-weeks). Opened last prep with a win at Beaumont while returning off a Scone trial. Could give some cheek at odds fresh in this company.

ILB

First up and ran home strongly to win first up last preparation at Newcastle. Suited at this trip historically.

RP

Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a sixth career win); not beaten that far over 6f at Tamworth (handicap, not far behind Zamborghini) in June; returning from a layoff here; poses a threat.

RSIS

Resuming and flew home to win resuming last preparation at Newcastle. Strong form at the distance.

Failed to threaten at Newcastle. Has early speed. One for multiples.

Odds of $12.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last run at Newcastle. Happy to overlook that run and drawn the rails. Good prospects.

Last of eight dropped back in distance at Newcastle last month; others are preferred as has a lot on his plate here.

RSIS

Started 11/1 and gave away some ground when 8th last start at Newcastle. May see an upturn in form and drawn nicely. Solid chance.

Now 4 weeks between runs. Tamworth winner two back. Sent out $13 when never got into the race at Coonamble. Can make his presence felt.

Started at $13.00 and tailed off to finish 8th last start at Coonamble. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Beaten 7l when eighth of nine over 6f at Coonamble (handicap) last month; others more appealing with this looking like a hot contest.

Felt pinch late but held on for the minors at Scone. Has early speed. Switching to 1400m. Warrants attention.

ILB

Worked hard to place 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last time at Scone. Will need to elevate.

RP

Not beaten too far (just under 3l) at Scone over 1m (handicap) two weeks ago; can be in the mix if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

RSIS

Put together a strong on-pace performance when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at Scone.

AAP

Sound effort without troubling winner at Taree. Won only other time at Armidale. Can fill the minors here.

ILB

Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by more than 3L last time at Taree. Should be going forward early. Watch for a sign in the market.

RP

Solid run when third at 16-1 at Taree over 6½f (handicap) last month; possesses winning form at this track.

RSIS

Picked up late ground when 3rd last run at Taree. Has early pace and positions nicely. Watch the betting.

Fresh. Racing well in recent weeks. Put in some big strides late at Port Macquarie. Right in the mix again.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Kempsey.

RP

Not beaten far when third at Kempsey on Friday; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so others make more appeal.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Kempsey.

First-up (17-weeks). Wasn't extended in latest Beaumont trial 12 Oct. Has a tricky draw for return. Hard to make a case beyond the minors fresh in this line-up.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Odds of $9.00 and disappointing effort when 10th last run at Kempsey.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Started 8/1 and only fair when 10th last time at Kempsey.

AAP

First-up (36-weeks). Had a quiet trial at Scone. Likely to need the run.

ILB

First up after a 36 week break. At $26.00 didn't attack the line when 12th last run at Tamworth. Finished 6th in a barrier trial at Scone on Oct 7th. Keep safe.

RP

Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 4-19); finished towards the rear of 14 over 1m at Tamworth (handicap) in February; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as record when fresh is not entirely persuasive.

RSIS

Racing fresh today after a break of 36 weeks. Started 25/1 and was well beaten when 12th last time at Tamworth. Watch betting.

Backing up quickly. Solid effort when winning by almost 2 1/2L last run at Kempsey.

Now 5 weeks between runs. Just got there in a gripping finish at at Tamworth. Handles the wet. Looks a serious player.

ILB

Strong effort to the line to win last run at Tamworth but competing at a higher level of competition. Very competitive this preparation and getting better in recent performances.

RSIS

Ran on strongly to win last time at Tamworth and showing improvement in recent outings. Taking on stronger rivals. Gets some weight relief.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
