The Everest: Why Each Horse Can & Can’t Win

The Everest is only in it’s fourth year but has stamped it’s reputation as being the premier sprint race in the country & has attracted the best sprinters from across the country. We have put together our thoughts on why each horse can and can’t win.

1. Nature Strip

• Jockey: J McDonald
• Trainer C Waller
• Barrier: 5
• Odds: $4.80

Why He Can win:

⊕ He has been regarded as the best sprinter in the country for a long time now & if he can bring his best this weekend he can jump in front, control the race & win

Why He Can’t Win:

⊗ He has seemed below his best and has been off the ball mentally this preparation after playing up in the barriers in a trial 21/09/20.

⊗ There also looks to be a bit of pressure in this race so if he were to step away slowly he could find himself in a tricky position.
