Vibrant Rouge has really caught the eye in two runs this prep for new trainer Mick Kent and Sportsbet.com.au believes it will be third time lucky when she contests the last at Caulfield this Saturday, the Mypunter.com Handicap (1200m).
The mare ran here a fortnight back and produced some fast late splits when fifth to A Lotta Love. The depth doesn’t look to be as strong here, and the claim for Beau Mertens certainly helps, so it’s no surprise to see her firm to $7.50 after getting out to as much as $9.
Beirut is the $3.30 favourite and seems very thin odds given this will be her first Saturday assignment, and against some better types than what she has faced recently. My Sister Lil ($8.50-$7.50) has been met with good support early.
