The Sydney Autumn Carnival comes to a close on Saturday, crazy to think how fast it has come and gone.
The All Aged Stakes and Champagne Stakes headline Randwick's nine race card, though confident we can get the money early.
The Tulloch Stakes provided us with the ATC Derby quinella and it again looks to provide us with another winner on Saturday.
The Team Snowden trained Carif finished fourth in the Tulloch and was as good a closer as any.
He returned the second fastest last 200m of the day, second only to Angel Of Truth.
Madison County recorded the fourth fastest last 200m of the day, it simply looks the A1 form.
Only lightly raced, he has exploded when stepped up beyond a mile and should appreciate getting onto firmer footing.
By So You Think out of Norzita, he is bred in the purple and is clearly trending the right way.
Like the fact he has been kept fresh (21 days) and with McEvoy sticking aboard, he ticks a few boxes.
Always a query when backing a backmarker, but there looks to be decent enough speed engaged and he should be very strong late - one of the gambles of the day and good luck to those that snapped up the $16 early!
The John Thompson trained Into The Abyss displayed sharp improvement in the PJ Bell Stakes and now appears set to peak racing third up.
Of the 13 engaged, eight come through the PJ Bell and when taking out the winner Multaja, Into The Abyss has beat them by 1.3L+ and more importantly SP'd ahead of all of them.
Have her marked inside 2-1 and the $4 on offer early doors looks a cracking bet.
