Breeding: Futura – San Trip by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 64.0kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He was disappointing in his last run over 1950m as he didn’t quicken up the straight. He is well in himself and should be ideally suited to 2400m. We are hoping to see an improved performance and if running to his best form, he is capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Kannemeyer D-2025.01.18. 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2025.02.03. Best MR:90. Carries hefty mass. Watch.

He needed his last outing over this course and distance after returning from a short nine-week break. He is doing nicely at home but the stable feels that he will still need this outing. The son of Fire Away is at his best over further and we are hoping to see him running on.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Had excuses in latest. The light mass will help.

He is having his first run for Hollywood Racing. He won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over 1100m on this course last time. He is coming along the right way and is doing well at home. It is never an easy task out the maidens and we are hoping to see him in the first three.
