WINNING CHANCES ON THE HILLSIDE TODAY

Four runners for us on the Lakeside course today yo keep our winning run going with So You See, Heavan, Setteveli and Wisaka taking part.

So You See and Heavan are both in the third race over 1400 metres with Blake Shinn aboard So You See and Fred Kersley riding Heavan. Both mares are starting new campaigns and have pleased Mike Moroney in their lead-up.

“So You See has done well and her jumpouts have been terrific,” Mike said. “I’m happy with her and the way she has done. I’ve taken the blinkers off for today, I’m expecting her to improve on whatever she does, it’s a handy enough race and a good starting point for her.”

“Heavan has strengthened up nicely and her work has been excellent,” Mike said. “I’d say today might be on the short side for her but it’s a lovely race to get her started and I’d be expecting her to be running on through the line.”

Setteveli runs in race five over 1200 metres with Daniel Stackhouse riding from barrier four. The son of Astern has trained on well since his winning debut at Pakenham earlier this month.

“I’m really happy with him and he’s gone the right way,” Mike said. “It’s a handy race but I thought he was impressive winning his maiden and provided he can go there today and realx I’d say he’ll be hard to beat.”

Wisaka (pictured) bids for his fourth win this preparation in race seven over 2100 metres, Laura Lafferty’s claim reducing his weight to 59kg.

“He’s coped with the preparation well and he’s racing well too,” Mike said. “He gets in to day with a pound less than he carried to win at Moonee Valley last start on a heavy track so he looks well placed.

“He’s drawn nicely and all things being equal I’m sure he will run well.”
