There is no more intriguing runner at Wyong today than the lightly raced mare Mulberry Walk, who is attempting to get on the board in the Rinnai Maiden (1100m).
The four-year-old is a half-sister to the retired champion Chautauqua so it is fair to say she has her work cut out to live up to his six group 1 wins.

Mulberry Walk has started well in the market but flopped badly in her first two career runs mid-year for the Peter and Paul Snowden stable – including as long odds-on favourite on debut – but she has strengthened up and trialled strongly for her return.
With Tommy Berry, who has ridden her in both her recent trials, unable to continue the Chautauqua connection through suspension, the Snowdens have booked Corey Brown for the ride. And it appears they have found a winnable race and one in which we will get a glimpse of what she is made of.

If consistent mare Everlasting Love is as adept in the wet as her sire Your Song was then her run of six consecutive placings can end today.
Your Song posted his most dominant group1 performance on a heavy track and that could be a vital ace up his daughters sleeve in the Tile Direct Plate (1600m).
With the in-form Christian Reith/Anthony and Edward Cummings team – fresh from their win with Sky Boy at Rosehill – behind her, Everlasting Love has been strong to the line in all three starts this preparation suggesting the step up to a mile is in her favour.
Last start the mare bumped into what might be a smart performer in Loved Up but theres no opposition like her standing in the way here.
Sticking with the love theme, throw in locally trained mare City Of Love, which has also found the line nicely in two runs back, as the main danger.
