Brett Gray lines up eachway chances across the Diamonds Day card at Ascot Park on Sunday.

The Ryal Bush trainer’s six-strong team is headed by his Kindergarten Stakes third placegetter You’re So Fine, who steps out in the Group 2 Diamond Creek Farm Classic.

The speedy two-year-old has drawn barrier 2 on the second line and Gray is hopeful that alley could suit him.

“The draw isn’t too bad I don’t think, it could have been worse,” the trainer said.

“I think he could get a good wee run through there and get handy and hopefully get a taste of it at the finish.”

You’re So Fine stamped his class when rushing home in the Kindergarten Stakes behind Akuta, who is rated in the top tier of New Zealand’s two-year-old pacing colts and geldings.

“I was quite happy with his run in the Kindergarten,” Gray said.

“I do rate him a bit and I think he will make a good three-year-old.”

Gray also debuts Gotta Elect Bill in Sunday’s two-year-old feature.

The trainer also has a decent opinion of the pacer, who has produced solid performances against lesser-known two-year-olds at the trials.

“He has actually come along pretty nice this wee fella,” Gray said.

“He went quite nice at the Wyndham workouts the other day, he went 3.04 (for 2400m) and ran home in a 28sec quarter (400m).”

“He has got a bit of filling out to do, but he is not the worst and he is a beautiful-mannered wee fella.”

“I think he could be a horse with a future as a three-year-old.”

Memphis Tennessee has produced consistent recent form and will attempt to continue that in Sunday’s Country Cups Final.

Though beating Pembrook’s Playboy looks a big ask, the Wyndham Cup winner looks a big top three threat.

“He has got nice and consistent, which is good,” Gray said.

“He is a wee bit 50-50 from a stand and he can’t afford to give Pembrook Playboy a headstart.”

“But it is going to be very hard to beat him, anyway.”

Gray debuts Jaccka Opa in race 2 after two excellent displays in his latest trials and workouts.

The three-year-old just need a slice of luck from barrier 5 on the second row to feature.

“He is a nice enough horse, he is a bit rough around the edges and he hasn’t got the best of draws.”

“He is a little bit of a handful but he is too dumb to stop, so he is a good chance.”

Prince Envy comes into race 6 after staging a big recovery from an early gallop to run second at Winton last week.

The five-year-old looks a strong winning threat if he can behave on Sunday.

“We are slowly getting there, it is just annoying these little gallops he is having.”

“We have got him going away and now he is having these wee gallops afterwards.”

“He did well, he probably did 50m and he ran second at Winton.”

“He is not quite trotting 100% but I am happy with him this week so hopefully we can get some regular racing into him and his brain will settle down.”

“He has got talent, he has just got to put it together.”

Gray also starts Bettor’s Highlight in race 1.

The timing of the Southland Oaks on Diamonds Day could not be better for the ever-improving Lifes A Beach.

In less than two months the Tony Barron trained three-year-old has gone from being a tidy maiden to the favourite for Sunday’s Group 2 feature.

Continual improvement from the Bettor’s Delight filly has underpinned her progression which has perfectly aligned with the programming of Diamonds Day.

“It is amazing how things work out, we always aimed her at the Southland Oaks,” Barron said.

“I always thought she was a lovely Southland Oaks filly without being up in the top class.”

“As she has got better and better we are going there with a winning chance.”

“We know what racing is like, but she has been racing super.”

Many of Sunday’s field face a new challenge when stepping up to 2700m from behind the mobile

Lifes A Beach looks like she has all of the credentials needed to handle the staying test.

“She won at Addington over 2600m and came from back and wide and found the line very good,” Barron said.

“She is a very well-bred filly that is living up to her breeding and she is just getting better and better.”

“She is just a typical Bettor’s Delight, really.”

Driver John Morrison has sat Lifes A Beach off the

speed and let her charge at the line in many of her recent

starts.

With the favourite’s tag and her barrier 3 draw he may be tempted to press towards the lead.

Barron has no doubts that his filly would relish the front runner’s role if she got there.

“I have got no doubt, we took her down to the Geraldine trials and that was the last time she actually drew good enough to lead.”

“She led there and jogged it and she loves rolling along in front.”

“I am always a little bit weary in these big races over 2700m, you don’t really want to burn hard to get there.”

“Certainly if she got there and didn’t burn too much petrol or anything like that she would have no trouble rolling along in front.”

Barron could have two Southland Oaks starters if Classy Dancer gets a start as the race’s first emergency.

If she doesn’t the three-year-old will line up in race 10 where she would be very hard to beat from barrier 2.

“She is a lovely filly,” Barron said.

“In race 10, she is in that right up to her ears.”

“She was down at Nathan Williamson’s for ten days and she has come home very bright and healthy.”

“If she lines up in that one you would expect her to be very handy and very hard to beat.”

Barron also brings Miss Mucho south for race 7 on Sunday.

With two runs under her belt this time in the five-year-old will strip at her peak in race 7.

“Third up is where we have been aiming for.” “I thought her run at Addington last week was very, very good.” “She was only a pixel away from running third.”

John Morrison also takes the reins behind Classy Dancer and Miss Mucho.

Bookmakers haven’t missed two of the leading chances

in the feature races on Diamonds Day in Ragazzo Mach and

Republican Party.

Punters could be forgiven for thinking they were going

to get a little bit more than Ragazzo Mach’s $1.55 opening

fixed odds price for the Group 2 Southern Supremacy Stakes

Final.

Circumstances in the Flying Stakes and the New Zealand

Derby have meant the three-year-old comes into the race

with two glaring zeros in his formline.

Bookmakers obviously have not been put off by

those performances and neither has trainer-driver Nathan

Williamson, who is hopeful the real Ragazzo Mach can stand

up on Sunday.

“I was happy with him in the derby, he just drew bad

and he was out the back the whole way.”

“His sectionals were some of the best out of the race.”

“He was just too far from them and very wide.”

“He has come through his trip away well and he seems

happy and healthy.”

“I thought his workout on Saturday at Wyndham was

very good and I am very happy with him.”

“And from the draw (3) he should be hard to beat.”

Williamson starts an incredible line up of talent on

Sunday including Chinese Whisper in the feature trot and

Pembrook Playboy in the Southern Country Cups Final.

Pembrook Playboy comes into his assignment after

just a nose split him and Ragazzo Mach in their workout at

Wyndham last weekend.

“He trailed lovely, we weren’t there to light him up or

anything like that,” Williamson said.

“They both just had a run off the place and a nice wee

blowout just to keep them up to the mark.”

“They’ve both had a lot of racing during the season and

it is just a matter of keeping them ticking over and keeping

them happy.”

“I am really happy with Pembrook Playboy, he should

put his best foot forward.”

Pembrook Playboy opened at $1.40 odds for Sunday’s

2700m feature.

Republican Party was installed the $2.50 early favourite

for the Group 2 Diamond Creek Farms Classic.

That is despite the Cran and Chrissie Dalgety trained

two-year-old drawing barrier one on the second row and

having to debut against more proven horses.

Cran Dalgety just hopes the bookies have got their

assessment right.

“I just hope that they are really good judges, that is all I

can say.”

Republican Party comes into his debut following two

recent trials.

The colt raced a little greenly in the first before catching

the eye when finishing on well out wide in the latest.

The Dalgetys have set a big task for Republican Party,

sending him south from Canterbury to debut in a Group 2

event.

But it is one they think the pacer is capable of handling.

“He will get better, he is not the biggest horse in the

field, but he is very fast,” Dalgety said.

“The only thing he lacks is racing and ringcraft and he

can only get that by going to the races.”

“In summary, he is in the well above average category.”

Republican Party follows out gate flyer Duke Of

Cornwall who has led off the gate before taking a trail in

both of his career starts.

DIAMONDS DAY FUN FACTS

Only two drivers have won the Southland

Oaks- Southern Supremacy Stakes double

in the same season. They are Henry Skinner

(Lento and No Return - 1993) and Dexter

Dunn (Gaylee’s Delight and Texican – 2012).

Skinner also trained both his 1993 winners.

This year marks the 20th running of the

Southern Country Cups. It was first run in 2001

with the winner being Bonnie Lass. It was a

victory for the Brents, trainer Brent McIntyre

and driver Brent Barclay. Brent Barclay has

won both the Country Cups and the Southern

Supremacy three times.

The stake for the Diamond Creek Farm 2YO

Classic has more than quadrupled since its

inception. Sunday’s race will be the eighth

running of the race. The first stake was

$12,000 – now it’s $50,000.

There will be lots of free stuff on Sunday.

Twelve races, including three Group Twos, will

be held starting at 11.30am. Upon arrival all

ladies on course will be treated to a free glass

of wine, there is free coffee and tea on offer

and the weekly Farmers Market will also be on

course. Admission is also free.

The Southland Oaks has been going since

1983, and this will be the 39th running of

the great race. It’s been won by the likes

of Josephine Bret (1984), Champagne

Princess (2003), Mainland Banner (2005),

Kiwi Ingenuity (2008) and Beaudiene Bad

Babe (2009).

Get Up N Dance, a half brother to the

unbeaten Shut Up N Dance, will debut in

race 2. Shut Up N Dance (Art Major – Dance N

Delight) impressed with three wins from three

starts before being retired because of injury

earlier this season. Now Get Up N Dance (Rock

N Roll Heaven – Dance N Delight) gets his

chance to show off his moves.

The Williamson brothers are in for one busy

day at Ascot Park, with Nathan (11), Matthew

(10) and Brad (5) combining for a total of 26

drives on the 12-race programme. Nathan

particularly has a strong book of drives

including Ragazzo Mach, Chinese Whisper,

and Pembrook Playboy.

The race record for the Southern Supremacy

Stakes is jointly owned by two horses, and

set eight years apart. Highview Tommy

set the mark in 2009, and Eamon Maguire

equalled it in 2017. The record is 3:19.1.

Tim Williams will be aiming for a record-extending

fourth win in the Diamond Creek 2YO Classic. On

Sunday Williams will drive the Hayden Cullen-

trained Franco Indie, who won his debut at

Rangiora on April 18. Coincidentally the All Stars

stable Cullen took over from (Mark Purdon and

Natalie Rasmussen) are the race's most successful

trainers, having won it four times.

Shorty’s Girl achieved a notable double in

consecutive years. In 2001 the Allan Beck

trained and driven daughter of New York

Motoring won the Southland Oaks, and then

the Southern Country Cups a year later. Her

career record was 11 wins from 32 starts and

$223,276 in stakes.
