〰️ 1400m Vinery Country Cup BM84 -R8- 〰️
🔹 DANCES WITH HOOVES
Tough mare strips fitter second-up after working home strongly for 3rd in the Jackal at Tamworth three weeks ago. The rise to 1400m presents nicely now and she has already proven herself in affairs of this order, highlighted by her Mudgee Cup success last preparation. Ashley Morgan rode her to success here in the 1600m HWY two carnivals ago and partners again today.
🔹 TAIPAN LEGEND
Coming off a Wellington Cup run where things didn’t go to plan, the 5YO will look to roll forward as he usually does. Drawn very wide, but capable of negating that by building momentum gradually and working across into his rhythm on speed. Mikayla Weir, who partnered him to the first of his Tamworth mile wins this preparation, stays aboard.
🔹 RAJNISH
Experienced campaigner who takes on a another strong race, after contesting the Tamworth Cup and Prelude over this trip last month. Liberty Smyth claims, bringing him to a helpful 56.5kg and he’ll be hoping to show an improved effort now fully race fit third-up.
🔹 HULU
Genuine mare taking on another strong assignment after tackling the Tamworth Cup and winning the Prelude at her last two. Aaron Bullock goes aboard and while the draw makes things tricky, she has proven herself capable at the distance and will be looking for the luck to finish off late.
