We're back to the best track in Australia on Tuesday for six of the best out of Callaghan Park. Here's hoping for a change of fortune after a sick old day at Mackay last week. We're on a Good 4 and the rail is out 4.5m the entire.
Race 1: 2YO Maiden (1050m)
Going to have something small on the two debutants here in Moscow City & Power Of Katie who have both looked good at the trials. I thought the raced brigade were pretty average, so the fresh blood looks to hold the key.
Race 2: 3YO Maiden (1300m)
Low, low race. No.
Race 3: Maiden Handicap (1500m)
The horse that looks the most likely winner is Bold Rouge from the Garnett Taylor barn. She's placed in four of her seven, which include placings at the Sunshine Coast, which is always strong form for a race like this. She went to Doomben last start, and while she was beaten a good space, this is a lot easier.
Race 4: BM60 (1050m)
Interesting race. Bencoolen could put them to the sword and I have zero doubt he would if it was wet, but the Good 4 is firmer than he'd like. Going to have something on Whoshotthemagician at each-way odds. He always runs well at Rocky, will enjoy a soft run from gate two under J Hux and will give a fair sight fresh.
Race 5: BM65 (1500m)
Today is the day for Pepperdine. Third-up, staying at 1500m, finding a small field and a low gate - it all looks ideal. He peaked on his run first-up under the big weight with no trials and then didn't have the easiest of runs last time out with a horse laying all over him up the straight behind Kick On Command who has won again since. He should take complete control under Butler and be too strong.
Race 6: 0-55 Handicap (1200m)
It's not a race I will be betting in, but I'm keen to watch. Mil Ciento has been wearing thin on me, but did pull up with the thumps last start - so a complete forgive. Takhian Bubbles comes through a strong form race behind Dragon Snip & Hell, while the likes of D'esprit & Takeru were both good last start and are at decent odds, for those that want to have a bet in the last.
