Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)

He finished off his race strongly when winning his last start over 1600m on this course. The son of Canford Cliffs should have no issues with the rise to 2000m. The stable is happy with him, and we are hoping to see him notch up the hat-trick.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:68. Won post maiden debut at a nice price. Hat-trick chance.

Draw: 4 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He has finished fifth in his three starts out the maidens. He steps up to 1400m, and we are hoping to see him settle into a nice rhythm. Chad Little steps back into the saddle and if all goes according to plan, he can finish in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Some fair post maiden form. Is capable of earning in this line-up.
