Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 1 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He was a tad disappointing in his first run out the maidens. He has run a good race when finishing second over this course and distance in the past. He jumps from pole position and with Craig Zackey in the saddle, he is capable of running into the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:74. Moderate handicap debut against weaker. 2nd in only C&D attempt.
13 – Purple Powahouse
Breeding: What A Winter – Clarion Call by Kabool (GB)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Donovan Dillon
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 13 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He returned from a 41-week break last time and was caught wide around the turn. He has another deep draw to overcome and will hopefully be sitting off the pace with cover. He is expected to be running on and can finish in the quartets.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:77. Caught wide in comeback run. Should improve.
