An interesting couple of days coming up for the team with some of our big guns stepping out (Mystery Love and Ruban Blue), Ocean Knight looking to resurrect his career whilst the lightly raced Snifter shoots for two wins on the trot.

MYSTERY LOVE LOOKING TO ATONE
Caulfield Race 4 @ 1:35pm

At her best and when she is right, MYSTERY LOVE is group material and we are hoping that she can rediscover her best form at Caulfield tomorrow.

She flopped on a bottomless track two starts ago and didn’t handle the stresses of travelling to Adelaide last start so it may pay to forgive her last two outings.

Melham on tomorrow. Home track. Perfect surface. Freshened up. Fingers crossed Mystery Love can bounce back to her best!

RUBAN BLUE - MR CONSISTENT
Caulfield Race 7 @ 3:30pm

RUBAN BLEU has become a model of consistency in recent times. Many judges had him pigeon holed he as a wet tracker who loved Flemington. But his win at Caulfield last start on a good track showed that he was more than just a one trick pony!

He partners up with his favourite jockey tomorrow, Lachie King, and looks a great chance in a tough race. Importantly, there is good speed on paper so look for Ruban to be charging home late.

SNIFTER - ON THE UP

Geelong Today Race 5 @ 2:30pm

Nicconi 3yo SNIFTER might be the smokey in the team but we’ll now more after today’s race at Geelong. He won a moderate maiden at Echuca (his first run for Paddy Payne) and jumps up significantly in grade today.

Patrick has given him a month between runs and thinks he has improved! If he wins today, we might have a pretty handy horse on our hands!

OCEAN KNIGHT - ON THE COMEBACK

Geelong Race 7 @ 3:30pm

OCEAN KNIGHT had the world at his feet as an early 3yo. He was on track for the Caulfield Guineas and looked a star in the making. Injury hit in the Danehill Stakes and unfortunately, he has never been right since.

After having surgery to his hind leg back in March, this preparation is very much a boom or bust campaign. The early signs are encouraging. He has never been sounder so lets hope he comes through today’s race unharmed and we see a glimpse of the old Ocean!

PEACE BROTHER - WINNER WINNER

The week started well with Pierro gelding PEACE BROTHER winning a hard fought battle at Ballarat on Tuesday (albeit in the all white silks of the Club!).

The win brought up our 12^th winner for the 19/20 season with 5 weeks remaining. We are currently running at a solid 14.5% winning strike rate which should improve further with some upcoming winners in the pipeline!

A talented jumper, Peace Brother is being groomed for a career over the hurdles which will be Carbine’s first foray into jumping.
