Apache Cat ready to pounce in Brisbane
Warren Huntly
Wednesday, 29 April 2009
Glamour sprinter Apache Cat has arrived safely in Brisbane for the winter carnival.
"He settled back in there like he's been there all his life" trainer Greg Eurell said.
Apache Cat is likely to follow the same path as he didlast year.
"He'll run in the BTC Cup then into the Doomben 10,000. Depending on the weight he gets, the Stradbroke is still a slight possibility," Eurell said.
The BTC Cup will be run on May 9 with the Doomben 10000 a fortnight later.
Asked about Apache Cat's unplaced perfomance behind Takeover Target in the T J Smith Stakes, Eurell said: "Takeover Target was just far too good on the day but Apache Cat will be improved by the run and I'm looking forward to Brisbane."

gone from a horse that was consistently brillant - esp fresh - but that TJ was final straw for me - was a fav of mine , but i can't back him now - eurell going on how had him especially fit for the TJ - and had learnt from being a little soft on him-either talking chit or not the horse he was

Don't give up too soon Seal. He ran the third best sectional of the day. He was caught deep, raced more dour than fresh and clearly needs further. Remember he is a year older than his best form last year and probably takes more time to peak.
We will know if he has come back on BTC Cup day.

I'd like to see The Cat step back up to the 1600 in the spring.
