Our Smoking Joe comes out for another run today in the Caulfield Underwood Stakes 1800m WFA Group1, at 3.30pm.
Lined up in a classy field, he will have quite a time keeping up with these, as a handful of them have produced close to extraordinary times.
He will probably place again, in a strong field, the main chances are:
- 13. Aqua D’Amore – always there with Eremein, peaks this distance, will come to the fore in the finish
- 12. Maybe Better – really proven of late, brilliant recent times coming up to this, wide barrier may disadvantage
- 2. Our Smoking Joe – expect a bold showing in the straight, right up to them
- 3. Above Deck – peaks at this distance, show best today
- 7. Sphenophyta – Has run incredible time this range, carrying 58kg, ran well with weight last up
G Network would love to recommend the bet on Our Smoking Joe, however there are too many excelling runners here, and Joe’s fitness is a query right now. Wait and see.
The winner of the Underwood Stakes will probably be Aqua D’Amore or Maybe Better.
El Segundo blitzed the field to win convincingly, and is now favourite for the Cox Plate. 2 longshots placed, Molotov and Polar Bear giving a $4,700 trifecta and $92,700 First4.
