WINNING CHANCES AT CAULFIELD TODAY

Last start winner She’s A Thief and classy stayer Sound are our representatives at Caulfield on Saturday.

She’s A Thief (pictured) runs in race three, the Open Mares Handicap over 1100m with Daniel Stackhouse again in the saddle.

The daughter of Showcasing was dominant winning last time out at Caulfield and Mike Moroney expects her to be hard to beat again today.

“She’s out a little bit in barrier six which I think suits her - out wide she can have room to build momentum,” Moroney said.

“She’s up against some handy mares and the only little question mark I have is the soft (6) track - she’s at her best on a firmer surface but she gets early use of the track so she should be fine.

“She’s trained on lovely and maps to get an uncontested lead so I do think she will be hard to beat again.”

Sound kicks off a new campaign as the topweight in race four, the Open Handicap over 1600m with Mark Zahra aboard.

The eight-year-old entire has not raced since finishing second in the Auckland Cup over 3200m in March.

“He’s had a nice COVID-19 enforced break and he looks magnificent,” Moroney said.

“He’s done well, his work is excellent and his last jumpout was terrific. He hasn’t got any form below 2000m but he is that well in himself, if we get a strong pace I will not be at all surprised to see him run a big race while he is fresh.”
