The three-year-old Erupt (IRE) gelding, Buster Barnes, has won three of his five starts and races in the 1600m Zimbabwe Guineas (Gr3) at Borrowdale Park this Saturday.

Daniels has the ride, and Syster will be on Debra Swanson’s other runner, Follow The Band.

Thomas Mason has entered Pair Of Aces (Klink) and the filly, Trust Me (Brewer).

Apart from Buster Barnes all are one-time winners.  Trust Me won her last start and seemed to thrive on the 1600m trip.  Maybe one for the notebook.

BUSTER BARNES 3g – 3 wins from 5 starts. By Erupt (IRE) – Servilia by Caesour (USA).The one to beat.

FOLLOW THE BAND 3c – 1 win. By Vercingetorix – Jo Piper by Goldkeeper (USA). On previous form needs to improve to best Buster Barnes.

PAIR OF ACES 3g – 1 win. By Potala Palace – Lucky Hand by Tamburlaine (IRE). Began well, and beat Follow The Band in a close finish, but his last two outings were disappointing.

TRUST ME 3f – 1 win. By Mambo In Seattle (USA) – Would I Lie To You by A.P. Answer (USA). Has finished behind both Follow The Band and Pair of Aces but won her last start easily – her first trip over 1600m.
