Runners to watch (28/02)

Response

Easily the unluckiest runner in the Oakleigh Plate, the disappointment in both trainer and jockey's voices post-race was very evident.

She will certainly appreciate a longer trip, and with clear running room, Response will be go very close to gaining Group 1 success this Autumn.

Linton

The lightly raced gelding may have only run ninth in the St George, but he was storming home late alongside 'Moudre' in the final 200m, and a big Australia Cup showing would not suprise.

Linton still has plenty of developing to do, so anything he does in this campaign looks to be a bonus before his Spring assault.

Quarterbar

First up over 1200m looked far too short for the colt, and after being posted three wide for the trip, battled on gamely to finish fourth.

He certainly looks to have returned stronger this preperation, and once over more ground will be winning.
