Carbine Club Stakes 2023 Runner by Runner
1. Brave Mead (5)
Won a 3YO C&G Plate over 1400m at Caulfield on 21st October, beating a couple of other runners in this race, and has 3 wins and 3 places from 7 starts. Winning chance.
2. Heman (2)
Came from last and was looking for longer when 1.2 length 4th in the Tapp-Craig. Should be in the finish.
3. Kaizad (6)
One of 2 runners trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott (the other is Critique). Ran 3rd behind Brave Mead last start. Chance.
4. Critique (8)
Has 2 wins from 6 starts and blinkers come off for the first time. Prefer others.
5. Influential (3)
Resumed after 20 weeks for a 3 length win in a Super Maiden Handicap over 1400m at Kembla Grange on 21st October. That was an impressive return and he can make his presence felt.
6. Rovno Amber (9)
Won a maiden over 1300m at Bendigo then ran 4th to Brave Mead. Unlikely.
7. Ersa (1)
Won by 9 lengths over 1600m at Ballarat on 2nd October then was a close runner-up over 1600m at Caulfield on 18th October. Drawn barrier 1 and is a strong chance.
8. Mah Ali (4)
Has one win from 6 starts but looks unlikely.
9. Just In Time (7)
Won her only start. That was a F&M Maiden Handicap over 1200m at Newcastle on 14th October. Could surprise.
