Verdict

ERION (8) showed good tactical speed last time at Bathurst and kept finding when challenged to score by a head. Full of confidence now and is well placed to make it two on the trot. TURBULENT (3) was a barnstorming winner fresh when coming from a long way off them. Less effective last time when favourite but can bounce back sharply third-up. Expect him to sit off the early speed and be looking to round them up. SORRENTO PALACE (2) was hardly inspiring fresh when tackling tougher opposition in CL3 company. Strips fitter and will find this a fair bit easier, so not dismissing. CHAMPERS GIRL (5) is better than her second-up effort suggests. Watch for sharp improvement.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Rabbit

Also known as a pacemaker; this is a horse with no expected chance of winning but is used to prompt a quick pace on the front end of the race to the benefit of a stablemate who is a closer.

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.

Claiming Race

A race in which horses are entered for a certain price, or claiming tag, which is also their sales price. An owner can claim any horse entered for the tag before the race begins, and owns them as soon as the gates open.
