Distance & Class:
Group 2 3YO Open Set Weights & Penalties over 1200m
Track Bias:
Expecting an even track with all runners getting their chance dependent on individual race pace.
Early Speed:
Expecting a moderate speed throughout with Cylinder [4] going to the front with Liberated sitting outside of the pace, off the leading pair Nadal [2] & Butch Cassidy [5] will enjoy soft runs.
Top Pick:
Very keen on the James Cummings trained Cylinder second up this preparation after recording a strong win over the 1100m last start.
The colt sat on the speed throughout at Caulfield before fighting on very well through the line indicating the step up to 1200m will not be an issue.
He would have taken considerable improvement between runs and from the good draw Nash Rawiller can roll straight to the front to get the race run to suit.
Danger:
The Waterhouse & Bott trained Butch Cassidy appeals at an each way price in the current market after hitting the line well when fresh over the 1100m last start at Group 3 level.
The colt would have taken considerable improvement off the last start performance and draws to enjoy the run of the race stalking the leading pair throughout saved for one sprint at them late.
- No. 2 Cylinder – 3 Units Win Bet
- No. 7 Butch Cassidy – 1 Unit Win Bet
