GRAHAME Begg has branded his exciting sprinter Katsu’s potential as untapped in the lead-up to his run against the older horses in the Bel Esprit Stakes.
Begg said to Racing.Com that he always had a big opinion of the galloper who had always shown nice potential.
“He just has to get his head right. He is a work in progress and wants to overdo things,” Begg said.
Katsu has had two starts this campaign for two wins and three-year-old will take on open company at the same track and distance which produced his last win.
At his last win he defeated South Of Houston who was successful at Flemington last Saturday.
Katsu has stifled betting with TopSport and is $1.85 favourite.
He will be up against Black Caviar’s best foal to have raced Invincible Caviar who is taking on stakes company for the first time in her career.
Pintoff will also try and make it two in a row at the same track and distance. He won at his first start for her new trainer Carly Cook and gave her her first city winner.
Invincible Caviar is $3.60 second favourite with TopSport and Pintoff is $19.
BEST BET: KATSU (Race 6, No.7) $1.85 (TopSport)
