Guerin's Friday Fancies

With Addington having such a huge night tonight journalist Michael Guerin gives his three "Friday Fancies". Maybe a multi is the way to go. 

Best bet: Taipo (R7, No.3) Flashed home late against marker when fresh up last start. Fitter for that and has gate speed and drawn to be handier tonight.   $2.10/$1.20

How good? Republican Party (R3, No.8): Dynamic winning by a big margin in fast time last week and this not a strong race for a Sires’ Stakes heat.  $1.40/ $1.03

Better draw: Darling Me (R10, No.6): Best drawn of the talented fillies and mares and that gives her a major tactical advantage over the sprint trip.  $2.90/ $1.30
