Trainer: Cliffie Miller

Draw: 1 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He’s been disappointing in his last two starts and the stable has sorted out some of his issues. He’s drawn in barrier one and if putting his best foot forward, he should run a much-improved race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Has cracked pole position and can run into the money.

She ran a creditable race in her first run out of the maidens. The daughter of Gold Standard will love the step up to 1900m. The stable is very happy with her work heading into this race and she’s in a good space. Marco van Rensburg retains the ride and she’s expected to be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Gila L-2024.08.31. Best MR:73. Decent post maiden effort. Will love the rise to 1900m.
