Blinkers could be the key to unlocking the full potential of Falco in the Highway Handicap at Rosehill tomorrow.

The five year old gelding,trained at Wagga by Matthew Dale, he was a little disappointed at his last outing on his home track.

He came from a long way back in the Riverina Signmakers Class 2 Plate, “but we won’t see the full effect until he runs under race conditions,” said Matthew Dale.

Falco looks ideally suited under the conditions of the race and should appreciate the extra distance of the race.

The gelding is top weight with 61 kg, but will benefit from apprentice jockey, Nick Heywood, claim of 3 kg.

“We know he can handle the weight and Nick won on him earlier in the year at Kembla Grange, he has drawn nicely in barrier four,” said Dale.

Dale’s promising three year old filly, Beckless, will also line up in the race with weight on her side, she is sure to be there at the end.

She’s remains unbeaten after one start, having easily won 1200 metres fillies and mares handicap at Wagga recently.

Beckless has come in well at the weights, she will carry 51 kg after an apprentice allowance for James Innes.
