Caulfield Preview: Beer’s Star Ready For Group Racing

THE last thing Mitch Beer expected 18 months ago was to be lining up in a Group 3 sprint with Mnementh but that’s what’s happening at Caulfield as he will be contesting the Bletchingly Stakes (1200m).

Beer is also giving his stable favourite a chance because of his honesty and versatility.
Mnementh has won two of his last three starts which were the Town Plate at Wagga and the Straight Six at Flemington last start.

18 months ago Mnementh won at Leeton and that’s when Beer thought he had reached his mark.
Since then he has been a different horse so much so that Beer believes he has trained two different horses.

“I’ve had him his whole life and it’s been like training two different horses. The first part and the second part are so completely different. You’ve got to put his first 20 starts away and go on his last ten starts and on them he’s a bloody good horse,” the Albury based trainer said on Racing.Com.

Beer said Mnementh is taking on some talented horses but he thought he would run well.

Beer said it didn’t matter to him that the Caulfield track was a Good 4 as Mnementh handled all surfaces.

Mnementh is $6 with PlayUp with the favourite Ingratiating at $3.80.

Another Bletchingly Stakes competitor is Tasmanian sprinter Alpine Wolf, who his veteran trainer Barry Campbell believes could be the heir apparent to The Inevitable as the next best horse in Tasmania.

Alpine Wolf won first-up recently in a fast time over 1000 metres at Devonport.

Alpine Wolf is $13 with PlayUp.
