Trav's First Look: C.F. Orr Stakes Day

Race 3 No.1 Nation's Call
Looks the leader here, coming across from Barrier 13 to control the race.

He's been racing in good form and is out of a much harder race last week when finishing 6th behind Sabaj in what was a high rating BM90 contest.

Think the big players will like that figure he put down last week and with map advantages can see him being supported here.

Also like the booking of leading apprentice Logan Bates who claims 2kgs off the allotted 62kgs.

Thought $5.50 was more his right price, than the $7.50 being offered.

Race 4 No.4 Hedged
Terrific run when 2nd to Jigsaw fresh, who has won a G2 since. Wasn't far off Caballus when 2nd up at Flemington at the 1200m, this race has much less depth than that and feel he's better suited at 1100m around Caulfield.

Happy to be against the favourite Beast Mode who has posted two big performances but in small fields at Moonee Valley, which he has completely controlled, this looks a bit different set up and given that thought he was very tight.

Marked Hedged favourite given all that and was keen to play at the $3+ on offer.
