Bay Breeze

What makes Bay Breeze interesting now is Hamilton Park. The horse has won twice from six races at that track, and struck there as recently as two weeks ago, suggesting it's a course where things click. With David Allan in the saddle—the pair winning 5 from 29 rides together—Bay Breeze has a jockey who understands what it takes to get the best from it. Recent form shows promise without being spectacular: two wins from the last six races, though the most recent outing a day ago resulted in a seventh. That's the reality of a Class 4 campaigner; the horse is competing at a level where wins are rare (just 1 from 22 Class 4 races), so every victory counts. Bay Breeze is the kind of horse Easterby's prolific yard keeps going for good reason: it wins, it has a clear edge in certain conditions, and when wet ground comes around—or when Hamilton Park calls—it gives itself a genuine chance.
