Many Aspects To The Last At Warwick Farm

Multifacets is worth strong consideration at his each way quote in the final event at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

The Chris Waller-trained colt has performed well through a three start campaign to date having improved with each outing.

Multifacets heads to Warwick Farm on Wednesday off a sound fourth at Rosehill over 1800m where he was backed into favouritism.

The son of O’Reilly loomed large on that occasion however weakened on his run late to be beaten one length.

A fortnight later, the three-year-old drops back to a mile with Blinkers applied for the first time in Wednesday’s Tab.com.au Benchmark 71 Handicap (1600m).

The gear change and distance drop can both be considered encouraging changes, particularly with the fact Hugh Bowman is staying aboard the Rosehill-based runner.

It’s been well documented how the Chris Waller stable is on course for a record season having already racked up 174 winners.

Hugh Bowman has partnered 29 of those winners at a strike rate of 25% and a profit on turnover of near 30%.

Waller has also enjoyed good success this season dropping his runners back in trip, striking at 22% from 32 runners at a profit on turnover of 15.6%, well up on his career stats for this factor.

With the Blinkers applied first time, the colt should settle handy on what looks an anticipated slow tempo.

On the strength of his latest performance, Multifacets from there could take some beating.

Appoint Percy as of Wednesday morning is the race favourite.

The New Zealand import has done an excellent job for connections since arriving in Australia and last start was a dominant winner of a Highway Handicap over the Randwick Mile.

This shapes as a tougher assignment for the son of Sir Percy however the gelding certainly looks progressive enough to handle the rise.

It should be noted however connections at this stage intend for this to be Appoint Percy’s final run this campaign with it reported earlier in the week he has been in work for six consecutive months prior to arriving in Australia.

Scratchings of Hierarchal and Dubaiinstyle thin the race out slightly in terms of depth.

As well as the top two chances in Appoint Percy and Multifacets benefitting from this, Crossley Hotshot shapes as a beneficiary.

The gelding returned to somewhere near his best last start when a strong winner in a Class 2 at Hawkesbury over this trip.

He will strip fitter again third up, is proven at the distance and shapes as an excellent chance on his home track.

Trois Choix is another worth keeping in mind.

The mare caught the eye late when closing into fifth at Rosehill over 1500m last start.

Her effort represented good improvement on her first up outing at this course over 1400 when safely beaten.

Like Crossley Hotshot, Trois Choix is another who is open to further improvement early in her campaign.

Expect her to again settle back and be working into calculations late.

Multifacets at his each way quote as of Wednesday morning shapes as the way to go however in the last at The Farm.
