Sargent Favourite Out Of Silver Slipper
The Golden Slipper campaign of Four Moves Ahead remains on track despite the gun filly’s scratching from a key lead-up race at Rosehill. A dominant winner of her only start last month, Four Moves Ahead had been the early favourite for the Group Two Silver Slipper (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday. However, trainer John Sargent was forced to withdraw her following a stable mishap which required him to treat her just days out from the race. “She bumped her knee in the box and I had to treat her,” Sargent…

Enthaar Cleared To Start In Blue Diamond
Short-priced Blue Diamond Stakes favourite Enthaar has passed a fitness test and will take her place in the Group One race. Racing Victoria veterinarians re-inspected Enthaar on Friday and gave her the all-clear to start in the $1.5 million showpiece at Caulfield on Saturday. A day earlier, they had assessed her as having a degree of lameness in her near foreleg. Her co-trainer Ciaron Maher was confident she would be cleared to run and his prediction was proven correct.

Matt’s field of dreams
A few months ago, on Thrill of the Chase, we told the story of Matthew Field, a young bloke with spina bifida that’s been a regular visitor at the Ballarat greyhounds (among other racetracks) for years. Everybody knows him there, and he’s come to gain some respect as a tipster, but even more as a lover of the breed. It was only last year, when COVID restrictions were keeping Matt from his weekly night at the track, he managed to adopt a dog of his own, Apache (formerly Wind Whistler).…
Coventina Bay nearing return
Group Three-winning mare Coventina Bay (NZ) (Shamexpress) had a gallop between races at Whanganui on Friday after the trials were called off at Te Rapa earlier in the week. The Robbie Patterson-trained five-year-old was placed in the Gr.2 Rich Hill Mile (1600m) behind Showoroses at her most recent start on New Year’s Day, having defeated Prise de Fer in the Gr.1 J Swap Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa in mid-December. The highly-talented daughter of Shamexpress has won six of her 11 starts and will be set for further black-type assignments…
Noverre off the mark at Wanganui
The Jamie Richards-trained Noverre (NZ) (Savabeel) was backed into $1.40 favouritism for the Palamountain Scientific Nutrition Maiden 2YO 1200m at Whanganui on Friday, and he duly delivered. It was the second start for the high-priced yearling, who finished runner-up at Matamata when on debut over 1200m last month. “He drew a nice barrier (1), showed gate speed, but when they came to pressure him Opie (Bosson) did the right thing and took a hold,” Richards said. “It was good education and I think he’ll improve a lot for the trip…
Platinum Invador ticks plenty of boxes
Central Districts stayer Platinum Invador (NZ) (Redwood) has a number of factors in his favour when he contests the Gr.2 Wallen Concreting Avondale Cup (2400m) at Ellerslie on Saturday. The Lisa Latta-trained five-year-old is a $7 second favourite for the staying handicap, which will be used as a springboard to the Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup (3200m) on March 13. Platinum Invador has had six starts at Ellerslie for a win and four placings and will present in good order as he attempts to go one better than last…
