Queensland jockey Michael Cahill confident of winning aboard Peron Jockey Michael Cahill is confident of saluting at Doomben today. MICHAEL Cahill has a bumper book of rides at Doomben today but is most impressed with unbeaten three-year-old Peron, who he believes could be headed to the Queensland Oaks. The John Thompson-trained Patinack Farm filly will start as a firm favourite in today's 1600m handicap after three wins over shorter distances. Cahill was on board for her past two wins and has seen enough to say she could be something special, believing the filly could be up to the Group 1 Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm in June. "As far as running out the trip of the Oaks, I'm not sure but you don't have to be an out and out stayer to measure up," Cahill said. I am sure she will be a Black Type filly in the future. She is a very good-actioned filly with a big, long stride and one of her best attributes is her temperament. I put that down to the way she has been trained. She has got better in each of her three runs and I've got no doubt she will be running in better races in the future. Cahill has been in terrific form since returning from Mauritius last May and will ride another Patinack favourite today when he hops aboard Boys on Tour in a 1600m Open Handicap. Boys on Tour dazzled with a six-length last start win at Doomben on a dead track, and Cahill feels the four-year-old gelding excels when there is a bit of sting out of the ground. "The horse is a bit of a thinker and a bit inconsistent," Cahill said. He certainly seems to save his best for rain affected ground. He was brilliant last start and it will take a smart horse to beat him. I have ridden him twice during the week and he has been good and bright and I can't see why he won't run well again. While Cahill rates the Patinack pair as clearly the best of his chances today, he has plenty of time for the Kelly Schweida-trained Epic, who he rates as a winning chance in the Class 6 Handicap (1200m). It could be a big day for Cahill because he is also on Secret Garden, one of the leading fancies in the Class 6 Plate (2000m) despite recently being unplaced on a heavy track at the Sunshine Coast.
