CAULFIELD HEATH   28 Nov 2024
 
GOING: S(7)

Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 7     Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit.  

This will be a keen early contest, with Rivkin, Turn Up The Night and Haraldus prominent. FURY (6) has been solid in two runs back from a spell, not far away in a field of five fresh at Randwick Kensington before a good fourth at Moonee Valley. He finds a nice race here and should get a good run just off the pace. RIVKIN (1) will find this easier than last start at Flemington, beaten just 2.25 lengths by Pisanello who has won again since. He has to carry 62kg after the claim but drops a few levels for this and can win. LE DERRIERE (2) was a dominant winner at Pakenham over this trip last time out, racing on pace and coming clear. If she can repeat that she'll go close. DUBENENKO (4) has placed in every run this campaign and just needs clear running from the inside gate to be right in the finish again. HARALDUS (11) resumes and has plenty of upside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fury on top.
