Co-trainer Damien Moyle has considered claiming aboard Czech Out for its Morphettville engagement this Saturday, but he and Gordon Richards are placing their confidence in jockey Taylor Johnstone.

Although Johnstone was absent for Czech Out’s debut race, she has partnered the horse in its subsequent eight starts, including all three of its victories.

Two of these wins have occurred in its last two outings, where it carried 60kg and 60.5kg respectively. This weekend, the gelding will carry 62kg, with Moyle eager to maintain the successful jockey-horse combination.

“That (weight) is our only query, but he’s just been a bit quirky all prep and wanted to do it all differently,” Moyle stated.

“One week he’s out the back getting scrubbed along the whole way, then the next week he’s up on the steel over-racing.

“We just thought the best thinking was the girl who knows him.

“Weight stops everything eventually, but I think he’s got a bit of class on them so we’ll just see how he goes.”

Czech Out is currently the second favourite at $4.60, trailing Richard and Chantelle Jolly’s charge Arizona Dreamer ($2.80). Arizona Dreamer has secured barrier four, while Czech Out will start from the second-outermost gate in the field of nine on Morphettville’s Parks track.

Its previous two wins were achieved from barriers one and two, yet Moyle believes the horse will benefit from more space when starting from a wider position.

“I reckon he’s come up the inside most of the time, but we reckon he might be even better coming down the outside,” Moyle remarked.

“You’re just always worried at the Parks, if you’re a mile off them and they turn a fair bit in front.

“But I reckon with a bit of clear air the top of the straight, which he should get, he might be even better.”
