MY CALL - TIM BELL SET TO TAKE OUT A HARD FOUGHT METROPOLITAN JOCKEY'S PREMIERSHIP

Tim Bell will win the metropolitan jockeys' premiership on the last day of the season at Eagle Farm tomorrow.

Not only does Bell hold a one win advantage, his book of six rides has more oomph than Cahill's line up which is also half a dozen.

Bell has strong winning chances with Super Sport (race 2), High Ace (race 3) and probably the pick of them is Heart Smart in the last.

Cahill's best is clearly Heart Stealer in the opening leg of the quadrella.

When Bell celebrated his biggest day at the Queensland Oaks meeting, a premiership success was a bolter's hope at best.

On that day he trailed Cahill by 10 wins but the Group treble of Tinto, Sir Moments and Sacred Star brought him within seven of the lead.

And in the two months since Bell has accelerated while Cahill has stalled which is where we are at today.

I enjoyed an insightful interview with Michael Cahill on my Monday's Experts program on Radio TAB this week.

Forever modest, he acknowledged Bell is a talent who will succeed if he keeps it all together.

Many will share that view.
