Sound Works To Caulfield

It is a relatively quiet weekend for Ballymore Stables with just the two runners; Sound Works at Caulfield on Saturday and Second Obsession at Pakenham on Sunday.

Bound to appreciate a drop in class having taken on a field of smart sprinters in the Listed Creswick Stakes last time out, Sound Works is nicely placed back against the fillies.

Second last but far from disgraced in the Creswick, Sound Works will have her prospects enhanced by whatever rainfall is about... "the more rain the better," said Michael Moroney.

"This is her last crack at three-year-old class for the season. She has had a long enough campaign but she seems well and she has drawn nicely in barrier three."

Terrific when resuming at Warrnambool a few weeks ago, Second Obsession is suited up to a mile second up in the eighth race at Pakenham where Steve Arnold takes the ride.

"Her first up run was very good," Moroney reported, "and whilst it was tough on her in the heavy conditions she has pulled up well."

"The only query is the synthetic but providing she handles it she should again run well."
