Incentate Wins The Time Honoured Hanging Rock Cup

PASS members were celebrating heartily on Australia Day after Incentate saluted in the time honoured Hanging Rock Cup. This race is held every Australia Day and crowds flock to the small Victorian town of Hanging Rock for their big day of the year. Unfortunately, the 2007 version had to be transferred to Kyneton due to the drought and the recent bushfires, but this had no effect on attracting a huge attendance.

Apprentice Logan McGill rode a beautifully judged race on Incentate, allowing the gelding to settle well back in the field after a hot pace was set in the early stages. McGill then showed judgement well beyond his years by timing his run to perfection, and while the favourite Cape Danger hit the front at the top of the straight, he had no answer for the powerful finshing burst of Incentate. Incentate was heavily supported on course, firming from $12 into $8, and paid a $7.50 top tote around Australia.

Incentate was exclusively selected as the best of the day to PASS members on Australia Day. Members were also informed that likely favourite Cape Danger, would flounder in the closing stages of the 1850m race and was a good risk.

In our last article, we alluded to our losing selections being horses to follow at their subsequent runs. Yesterday at Rosehill, The Jackal, who was selected at his previous run, blew his rivals away in the last race paying over $4 for the win on all totes. He was not well ridden the day we were on him, and the run should have been overlooked. He made amends yesterday.

Plenty more winners to look forward this week, and we have already informed our members of the good thing of the day today. If you would like to become a member and receive selections such as Incentate exclusively, please contact us at profselections@austarnet.com.au

Good luck and profitable punting to all.
