Dreamin Trick Ready To Fly in Central Park Opener (22nd Dec)
We are looking for a flying start to the new week, and our Dog Of The Day spotlight lands squarely on the opener at Central Park Stadium.
We aren’t waiting around today; our strongest fancy runs in Race 1, a top-grade D1 sprint over the 277m dash.
The Selection: Dreamin Trick
Date: Monday, 22nd Dec 2025
Track: Central Park
Race: Race 1 (D1 Sprint)
Trap: 6 (Stripes)
Dreamin Trick, trained by L. E. Morrison, is a March ’23 son of Signet Ace who has established himself as a premier sprinter at the track. He arrives here in career-best form and looks perfectly placed to add another win to his tally.
Form Analysis
In 277m sprints, there is absolutely no margin for error. The race is often won or lost in the first ten yards, and this is where Dreamin Trick excels.
He is a tenacious trapper, consistently recording “QAw” (Quick Away) comments and leading sectional split times (1-1 or 1-2) in his recent outings. If he hits the lids in his usual fashion, he is incredibly difficult to beat.
His most recent performance on December 11th was simply stunning. He demolished a D1 field, stopping the clock in a calculated 16.47. A glance through the form book shows that this time is significantly faster than anything his rivals here have been able to produce.
To make things even better, he has drawn perfectly in Trap 6. As the sole wide seed in the race, he should enjoy a hassle-free run to the first bend while the inside traps occupy each other.
With the best early pace, the fastest recent time, and the perfect draw, he looks like the banker of the morning.

Good luck to Dreamin Trick in the first!
The Top Choice: Dreamin Trick (Trap 6)
The Standout Performance: Dreamin Trick comes into this race on the back of a blistering run on December 11th, winning a D1 in 16.47. This is the fastest recent time in the field by a significant margin.
Early Pace: In sprint racing (277m), the start is everything. Dreamin Trick is a consistent “Quick Away” (QAw) runner, recording split positions of 1-1 or 1-2 in almost every recent race.
The Draw: Being the sole Wide seed in Trap 6 (with Trap 5 also running wide but slightly slower to the bend), he should get a clear run on the outside to utilize his early speed.
The Main Danger: Butterbridge Seb (Trap 4)
The “Next Best” Contender: The “Post Pick” lists this race as the “nb” (Next Best), which often suggests high confidence in the top selection or the forecast.
Potential: Butterbridge Seb is a puppy (Jan ’24) who put in a huge performance on December 8th, clocking 16.55 and finishing just a neck behind the winner. As a dog dropping down from 491m distances, he will be finishing stronger than anyone else. If Dreamin Trick slips up at the start, Seb will be the one charging home.
The Up-and-Comer: Hardy Gringo (Trap 5)
Form: This puppy is on a hot streak, winning back-to-back races to climb from D3 to D1. While his winning time of 16.59 in D3 was excellent, D1 is a much tougher class, and he is facing seasoned top-grade sprinters today.
Summary Prediction
Winner: Dreamin Trick (Trap 6)
Runner-up: Butterbridge Seb (Trap 4)
Third: Hardy Gringo (Trap 5)
Recommendation: The form book heavily favors Dreamin Trick. If he replicates that 16.47 run, he is simply too fast for this field. The “Post Pick” of 6-4-5 aligns perfectly with the data we have available.
