TRACK
Soft 5
TRACKWALKER
Should race fairly with pace the most likely dictator of race outcomes. There is some minor advantage being 2-3 off the fence as opposed to hard fence.

BARRIERS
1000m – About 250m until they start turning meaning in big fields you can get trapped wide covering more ground
BEETROOT AT THE BOOL
Local trainer Matthew Williams has a career strike rate of 12% but on his home track that has lifted to 26% over the last 365 days. The “Beetroot” might get us off to a winning start with Stardom Awaayts in R1
Meanwhile, jockey William McCarthy is 4 from 12 at the Bool over the last year and will ride Jukila in The Jericho Cup.

“Came off an 8-week let-up when finding a slowly run race at Cranbourne where he was ok behind the in-form Kissinger. The little bit of give in the track should be perfect for him and 2UP last prep he was beaten less than 3 lengths by Pesto in a BM84 at Flemington. Peaks here and his peak ratings are superior”
