Aurie’s Star Handicap 2024 Preview

Track: Soft 6 Weather: Showers

Open field. Love the way RightToParty is racing. Can go on with things here. Zarastro brings in different form lines and should give this a red hot shake. It’sourtime loves raving here and should be in the finish. NicoliniVito is very consistent and is well placed in a field of this depth. Crosshaven is hard to catch but racing in career best form.

2024 Aurie’s Star Handicap Runner by Runner

1. Zarastro (4)

Racing well and good last start win. Steps up a notch here in depth but has the right racing pattern.

2. It’sourtime (7)

Flies on this track and has a booming turn of foot on its day. Big hope in what is a wide open race.

3. The Astrologist (5)

Been a while between drinks but showed a glimmer of bouncing back to form last run. Can win.

4. Nicolini Vito (6)

Super consistent runner who is well placed from the good draw. Should give this a shake from the 6.

5. Rocketing By (3)

Can’t have.

6. Crosshaven (1)

Racing well. Maps for a good run and can camp just off them and pounce late. Hard horse to catch but has become honest these days.

7. La Danseuse Rouge (2)

Good win last start but much harder here. Leaning to others.

8. Right To Party (8)

Showed enormous potential early doors but form dropped off. Has bounced back this prep and really come back an improved runner. Should be able to put these away. Tricky race but loaded with upside and looks very hard to beat.
