Eagle Farm   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING: H(8)

CANADIAN CLUB Class 3 Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Tuned and Sicilian up front. It's hard to fault the form of TUFF TU MUS (6) who has three wins and two seconds finishes from just five career outings and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley and winning rider Callow reunites. Rates the testing material. The well-related TUNED (7) (half to G3 winner and G1 placed Bruckner) has won three of five overall and brings NSW formlines to the table. Keep very safe. THANKYOU HENRY (5) is knocking on the door of another victory with consecutive runner-up finishes and should be at peak fitness for this fourth-up. Top-three candidate. ACTION KING (1) gets 2kg weight relief with the claim and can play a role in the finish. MAYNE (16) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tuff Tu Mus to add to the impressive record.
