Gun Godolphin runner makes midweek trek

Group 3-placed Trekking looks to have a walk in the park on paper for Wednesday’s Warwick Farm meet, having been competitive with the likes of Trapeze Artist, She Will Reign, Menari and Merchant Navy so far in his 8-race career.

The Street Cry gelding will line up in the Ranvet Power Formula Handicap over 1100m, after a 0.6L defeat behind I Am Excited last start, who has since gone on to win 3 in a row including a 1-length win over superstar Houtzen.

It seems the stars have aligned here for James Cumming’s galloper, with a soft draw and an unbelievable midweek record for the trainer, adding to the incredible form lines of Trekking.

The Godolphin runner again starts at a favourable distance, pushing out impressive sectionals in his last go over 1100m, in fact clocking 10.78 between the 400m and 200m mark before hitting the finish line at 64.63 kp/h.

Trekking is currently $2.50 with bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au, with main dangers Lake Lugarno (Hugh Bowman) lugging 60.5kg and In Times Of War (Kerrin McEvoy) drawing outside in barrier 11. Brenton Avdulla will take the steer for James Cummings, currently striking at almost 30% for the stable in season 2017/18.
