War Pig ticks plenty of boxes when stepping out in the Olympic Glory @ Arrowfield Class 1 Handicap (1600m) at Scone today.
The Bjorn Baker-trained runner scored a very good win on debut at Bathurst over the 1400m and will appreciate the step up to the mile for this.
War Pig is likely to push forward again today from barrier six and winning jockey Greg Ryan remains on board.
The Bjorn Baker stable has been in terrific form of late and despite going up in class for this War Pig will certainly prove hard to hold out.
Breeding suggest the 1600m will suit and he should take good improvement from his debut effort into this.
Jayzou followed up some good form with a much deserved win at Armidale last start over the 1400m trip and goes up to the mile for the first time today.
Won with ease last time out and Mitchell Bell takes the ride for the first time here.
Has been very consistent in his short career to date and now he has finally broke through he can go on with it now.
Likely to not be far away in the run again from the good draw and he will be somewhere in the finish once again.
Duquessa has been consistent in recent times without winning races and only just missed when runner up at Muswellbrook two back.
Put in a sound effort over 1400m at this course last time out but goes up to the mile today where she has a fairly modest effort.
Blinkers go back on for this and she has a solid record at the course placing in 4/7.
Should get a fairly decent run from the inside draw and despite her best form rating well against these each way looks best up to the mile.
Secret Web has been knocking on the door in recent times but has managed just the one win in 16 starts.
Proven over the mile however and was pretty good at this C/D last time out and Thomas Huet goes back on board.
Certainly not without hope here and stays under notice with Saturday Supreme aho has been consistent in all three runs this campaign.
