All roads lead to Tennant Creek on Saturday with the annual Cup Day meeting at Hagan Park. There is $131,000 up for grabs across the six-event program, with the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (1600m) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (1200m) taking centre stage on the sand surface. Fine weather is the forecast for the rest of the week, with windy and sunny conditions on Saturday and a top temperature of 27C.

BEST BET: THE GIRL’S BOY

After struggling in his first two starts in Alice Springs, The Girl’s Boy saluted over 1000m (BM64) on January 14 before capitulating to finish ninth over 1100m (0-64) a fortnight later. Since then, the four-year-old gelding has recorded a win over 1200m in Class 2 company before running second (1200m), fourth (1100m) and then third (1200m) at 0-58 level.

NEXT BEST: MERSEYSIDE

Merseyside failed to make an impression in her first three starts in Darwin, but she has since improved with two seconds over 1300m in 0-64 grade on March 22 and April 19. The fact that Phil Cole has elected to send the five-year-old mare some 990km down the road to Tennant Creek is significant. During her stint with Eagle Farm trainers Steven O’Dea and Matt Hoysted, Merseyside had four wins, six seconds and a third.

BEST VALUE: PROTOSTAR

Up until he blew the start at Alice Springs on May 5, Protostar had produced good results in his five runs at Pioneer Park following his arrival from NSW. Since February, the five-year-old gelding has managed a win over 1200m in 0-58 company on St Patrick’s Day, as well as two seconds, a third and a fourth. Dakota Gillett’s 2kg claim is also a bonus.
