The Henry Dwyer Racing stable has two runners today at Caulfield on P.B. Lawrence Stakes Day with MOSCOW RED and MISTER MOGUL representing the stable.
Caulfield is rated a Soft 6 and the rail is out 10m, with light winds you would expect those on speed to have a slight advantage.
Caulfield – Soft (6)
Race 1 (12.10pm) NEDS Handicap
No.2 MOSCOW RED – Will Price a(3) (Barrier 6)
MOSCOW RED heads to Caulfield today where she will take her place in the NEDS Handicap over 1700m. She has drawn gate six and Will Price will ride her claiming three.
MOSCOW RED has had a great preparation and continues to race well on rain-affected going. The track is currently a Soft 6 and that will suit perfectly. She chased gamely behind SOVEREIGN AWARD at The Valley last start on a track and race shape that certainly didn’t suit MOSCOW RED. The extra 100m is in her favour and we will take a nice sit and may the best horse win.
SOVEREIGN AWARD deserves to be a dominant favourite but we meet her better in on the weights today. If she’s to be beaten, MOSCOW RED looks the danger.

Race 2 (12.45pm) Super Box Race Day Hamper Handicap
No.1 MISTER MOGUL – Will Price a(3) (Barrier 1)
MISTER MOGUL also heads to Caulfield today where he will run in the Super Box Race Day Hamper Handicap (Benchmark 78) over 1000m. He has drawn gate one and Will Price will ride her claiming three.
MISTER MOGUL is racing really well and this presents as yet another very suitable race for him. He has been good down the straight at his past two over the short course and he clearly goes OK with the sting out of the ground. That inside alley is a bit of a challenge as he has missed the start a bit in recent times and it looks like A GOOD YARN has the speed to cross and lead, but with even luck MISTER MOGUL can figure in the finish.
A small field, but plenty of hopes. MISTER MOGUL is going well enough to be competitive again, he will just need a little luck from the barrier.
TAB WIN Fixed Odds – $4.80 (as at 8am)
