    • SETHITO (Craig Grylls, barrier 6) will line up in race 6 at 3.37pm. She's been freshened since her first two and we've seen a vast improvement in her training with the addition of blinkers. She's a lot more focused heading into today and we believe she's our best winning chance of the day.
    • Well that set of blinkers certainly worked. Go you good thing.  Even you must be impressed by that run Chief. 
    • Spacewalk. (Photo by Pat Scala/Racing Photos) The James Cummings-trained Spacewalk is set to line up in the inaugural running of the $1 million Meteorite (1200m) at Cranbourne on Saturday afternoon, with the son of Exosphere being put through his paces at trackwork on Tuesday morning. Stable representative Nacim Dilmi was on course to discuss the work of the Godolphin five-year-old, suggesting he should be ready to peak in the newly scheduled slot race. “He was good,” said Dilmi speaking with Racing.com. “Obviously he’s fourth-up, he was just here to look around the track more than anything, and the way he galloped I’m glad we did take him around. “Cranbourne’s not an easy track so we’re pretty happy with what we’ve seen. “He’s always ran well around tight tracks. He’s fourth-up, fit, and his run last time was pretty good. So we’re confident he’ll run well on Saturday, and it’s good to team up with the Busuttin (Trent) & Nat (Natalie) Young team for the slot.” “Overall it looks like a nice race, but Spacewalk will be right there in the finish.” Horse racing news View the full article
    • Trainer Joseph Pride. (Pat Scala/Racing Photos) Warwick Farm trainer Joe Pride is gearing up for a potential three-pronged attack on the $1 million The Gong (1600m) at Kembla Grange this Saturday. Pride has entered Little Dance (1600m) runner-up Estadio Mestalla, recent winner King Of The Castle, and Group 3 victor Lekvarte for the mile feature. Lekvarte comes into the race off a stellar performance two starts back, winning the Group 3 Angst Stakes (1600m) at Randwick. She was last seen finishing sixth behind Atishu in the Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) at Flemington, a result Pride acknowledged as a step up in class. “It was probably a bit strong for her, that Group 1 standard,” Pride said. “She has never raced as well when I have travelled her; she likes Sydney. I’ve had horses like that, so hopefully Kembla should suit her.” A nine-time winner, Lekvarte remains Pride’s top seed for The Gong. Estadio Mestalla and King Of The Castle, however, also bring compelling form into the race. Estadio Mestalla was narrowly defeated by St Lawrence in the Little Dance at Randwick, while King Of The Castle shouldered 62.5 kilograms to victory in a 1500-metre Benchmark 88 event on the same card. “Coming back off Group 1 standard, Lekvarte will probably be the best of those chances, although it might come down to luck, but they’ve all got a hope,” Pride added.

    • Baraqiel. (Photo by Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Jockey Ben Allen remains unfazed by the competition that Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1200m) winner Baraqiel will face in Saturday’s inaugural The Meteorite. Baraqiel, who last ran sixth in the Group 1 Champions Sprint (1200m), is viewed by connections as facing a more manageable field this weekend. “He’s in really good order,” Allen told Racing.com after a workout at Moonee Valley on Monday. “He’s bright, quite keen—not bad keen, but showing that he’s back to himself. (I) couldn’t fault his work. “After the run at Flemington I was a little disappointed, but you look at it, you’re up against the best sprinters in Australia. He’s probably nearly run a personal best; it’s just harder down the straight—it’s more pressure on the speed. “With his race pattern, you’ve got to be able to absorb pressure that first half and then have something left late. He’s got good early speed, so he’ll be able to put himself in a good spot (on Saturday). “A lot of those that go well are going to have to come from behind. If you kick well off the bend, they can be hard to catch at Cranbourne.” The Will Larkin, Leon, and Troy Corstens-trained gelding, who only began his racing career as a five-year-old last May, is set to be spelled after Saturday with an eye on the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) in the autumn.
