Stars Of Carrum has improved for two starts back from a spell and is ready to win third-up at Sandown today.
The Fiorente gelding needed the run, but still returned a nice effort when seventh at The Valley first-up and worked home well to finish just over two lengths fourth at Flemington last time out.
Getting out to a mile and a half is ideal at this point of his prep and I don’t think he’ll be offered a better opportunity to win in town on a Saturday.
Super Effort has stripped fitter for two starts back from a spell and will take beating in the fifth at Randwick this afternoon.
The three-year-old son of Reward For Effort needed the rune when he finished three and a half lengths from the winner at Warwick Farm first-up, but he returned a much more polished performance for second behind Private Eye last time out.
With that horse franking the form by winning again, I think this looks the perfect race and opportunity for Super Effort.
Quantum Mechanic is yet another runner that is primed for a big third-up performance at Sandown today.
The four-year-old daughter of Deep Field ran home well to finish fifth, just over two lengths behind Hearty Lass in a BM70 race at Caulfield when resuming, and was last seen filling the minors, just over a head behind the winner at Flemington.
Fitter third-up, from the good draw and with leading hoop Jamie Kah in the saddle, she is my best bet of the day.
This is a drop in class for Pariano and he has a fitness edge over several key rivals.
The Lindsay Park-trained galloper finished third in a similar race to this one at Pakenham first-up and while she did run ninth at Caulfield last time out, she was only three lengths behind the classy Sword Of Mercy.
She’ll take further improvement from that run, she is drawn to receive every chance from the inside draw and she is over the odds to win at her current price ($14 at publish).
