Saturday 10th February Preview

"Big weekend of racing ahead, with a metro double header on Friday night leading into a five metro meeting Saturday where we see the return of G1 racing at Caulfield with the C.F Orr Stakes. The 'Cock had one of the biggest Spring Carnivals in recent times & with G1 racing returning he is hoping that his good success will continue."

Cheat Sheet

Warwick Farm

Race 6 – 3:45pm

Competitive Group 3 to start the quaddie at Warwick Farm and The ‘Cock has Kementari (4) as his top rater with Siege Of Quebec (3) a length behind and with Brave Song (6) in for third.

Kementari rates on top for The ‘Cock and if he produces the rating that saw him place in the Caulfield Guineas he will be winning this. He has trialled well with Glyn Schofield aboard and The ‘Cock expects he’ll be ready to fly first up from the spell.

Siege Of Quebec won well first up and produced a new peak rating in doing so. He has the fitness to challenge Kementari and The ‘Cock is expecting improvement from his first up run.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

  • The ‘Cock is keen to bet on Kementari who off a rating of $2.40 is well over the odds at $3.50. Include the other two runners mentioned above in the quaddie.

Warwick Farm

Race 8 – 5:05pm

Show A Star (4) ran to peak rating in Melbourne around this time last year and is clearly on top to win here. Main danger is Supply And Demand (4) who rates well over this track and trip and shapes as the only danger as he is keen to take a stand against More To Gain (6) who is a risk first up.

Show A Star has plenty on this field and if he gets a soft lead again it could be a matter of how far. He won well last start at Rosehill very well and The ‘Cock is expecting him to improve off that rating and reach a new level here.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

  • Show A Star is the clearly the best betting option in the race and The ‘Cock is keen to be on him. Include the runners listed above in the quaddie.

Caulfield

Race 8 – 4:45pm

Hartnell (1) rates clearly on top for The ‘Cock to win the G1 C.F Orr Stakes ahead of Tosen Stardom (3) and then a length to Thronum (8) & Black Heart Bart (2) who both need to be included in the quaddie.

Hartnell’s run in the P.B Lawrence when first up last prep rates very well for this and The ‘Cock has him clearly on top off that run. Craig Williams won on him first up last prep and The ‘Cock is expecting the same again here.

Recommended Betting Strategy:

  • Hartnell is the clear top rater for The ‘Cock here with his first up record and he is keen to bet on him accordingly. Include all the above runners in the quaddie to pad out the leg.
