Call Me Anything gets his chance to breakthrough when stepping out for a new yard at Nowra today.
Having run in much tougher company for the Hayes & Dabernig stable in Victoria, the three-year-old colt steps out for the John Sargent stable off a solid barrier trial at Randwick.
Call Me Anything was not beaten far in the Blue Diamond Prelude before two fair efforts before a spell.
Taking on much easier today, leading jockey Blake Shinn takes the ride for the first time and against these should prove too good.
If the son of Redoute’s Choice can run up to anything near his best then he should be winning here with Sargent electing to put blinkers on first time for the winkers.
Does not appear to be a great deal of speed in this so from barrier 9 Shinn should have the colt not too far away from the speed and will be hitting the line well.
Caupolican returns off a barrier trial win at Rosehill having not been far away last campaign.
Remains a maiden after 17 outings, but has placed in nine of those and looks very close to a win.
Not the best record when fresh having placed in 1/3 but should get a good run from barrier 4 here with Peter Wells on board for the first time.
The six-year-old gelding rates well on his best form and is certainly worth including among the chances here.
Tumeke Bro is an interesting runner stepping out on debut for the John Sargent stable.
Trial form at Randwick has been solid enough in recent times and Winona Costin goes on board.
Stable certainly must be respected in a race like this and although he might be hard pressed to get the better of the stablemate he is one to keep safe.
Belridge remains unplaced from all five career outings but has not been too far away and has been racing better than his form appears.
Ran pretty well behind Sebring Sun at Canterbury three starts back and would not be surprised to see him somewhere in the finish.
Has not drawn the best in barrier 15 but is likely to get back and run on strongly.
