Cash advance (Race 11 No. 1)

How not to like CASH ADVANCE? It's like money into your pocket. In the real world, you're held responsible for repaying that cash. Not so in the racing world.

Like today in Race 11. A punt on the topweight can bring you some money which you don't have to return to anyone.

And you will be onto a good thing. After all, Cash Advance - from Shane Baertschiger's yard - does look a standout in the 1,000m sprint for Class 4 runners.

A winner of two races from three starts, we definitely haven't seen the best from this son of Ad Valorem. What we do know is that his two victories have all been done with plenty of authority.

He beat Washington Bay by one and a half lengths in a Novice in September last year and, in his last start - exactly a month ago to the day - he never let Faithfully and Co. to get close to him, winning that 1,100m race with a similar one and a half lengths to spare.

So go with Cash Advance today and walk away happy. - BRIAN MILLER
