Caulfield   16 Oct 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

HKJC World Pool at Caulfield on Saturday 2400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Reasonable tempo with Denmark probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. I'M A DIRTY RASCAL (3) has run fourth in two runs back from a spell in Sydney over shorter trips and should relish the rise to 2400m now. He could look to be far more positive now out to a suitable trip with Shinn on and can improve sharply. QUANTUM CAT (9) has been solid in two runs back, albeit a touch costly. He had his chance last time but is going well and draws nicely. WHISKY ON THE HILL (10) beat Quantum Cat last time out with a strong win. He's an improving type who starts from a good gate and should be in the finish. DILLIAN (11) was well backed at Flemington last time out and could be an improver dropping 6kg. DENMARK (5) should give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: I'm A Dirty Rascal on top.
