Not so shocking...Jockey Michael Rodd has been pleased by Melbourne Cup winner Shocking's recent trackwork in prep for Sat's Australian Cup. He says: 'His last run suggested he's not far off his mark in the St George (sixth) and he's had a couple of good hit-outs since then...A big thing is he's back at Flemington which is a great plus for him.'
Solar Charged's trainer John O'Shea is pleased with her prep for Sat's Kindergarten Stakes at Warwick Farm but is cautious about her prospects in the big race. He says: 'Barrier seven is not real good...All the speed is drawn outside. You've got Manahara and Clarry's horse Georgette Silk...My filly is going to be receiving considerable pressure and she is first-up from a spell. She might have been better drawn on the outside of those speed horses.' In latest betting, Solar Charged is a hot fav at $1.80 (4/5) with IASbet.com. Elimbari and Georgette Silk are on the second line at $4.80 (15/4) with Triple Crown the next best at $17.00.
