AUSTRALIAN DEBUT FOR REAL GENT AT ECHUCA

Metson and Real Gent are our runners at Echuca today with Real Gent making his Australian debut.

Real Gent (pictured) runs in race seven, the Benchmark 70 Handicap over 1200m with Brian Higgins to ride and jumping from barrier six.

The three-year-old raced twice in England where he finished fifth on debut and then a win over one mile on heavy ground at Beverley last September.

Mike Moroney has given Real Gent some Australian practice with a jumpout at Flemington.

“At his last jumpout he was a bit slow away but mustered speed quickly enough to run up to a midfield position,” Moroney said.

“He ran on nicely to finish third without any pressure which was pleasing and he’s done well since.

“This looks a nice place to start him off and the soft conditions should not be a problem for him having won on the heavy in England.

“I think whatever he does here he will improve on but I’m expecting to see him finish the race off and then we can see where he fits into the scheme of things from there.”

Metson runs in race five, the heat of the Silver Bowl over 1400m where he too will be ridden by Brian Higgins and has drawn barrier one.

The three-year-old has been placed at his last two starts, most recently when runner-up over 1300m at Cranbourne in May.

“He’s racing well and think he will appreciate the 1400m,” Moroney said.

“His work has been first class and he has drawn ideally. The soft track will not be a problem for him and he should be able to get the ideal run from his barrier.

“He’s in good order and while it is understandably a competitive race I do think he is a winning chance.”
