( well held in second place)

Could prove to be one of the new stars this season.

ended the summer with a win.

Barrier trial recently was impressive.

With Zac Purtin booked a good run despite stall 6 is a good possibility.

Vanquisher

Each way

an unusual situation where this horses 131 rating forces the entire field to race from out of the handicap. Twenty plus pounds to be precise.

the rest are all rated 111 and the country’s star racehorse is probably best raced against under such auspices today in the hope that he’s caught cold.

That is unlikely and he should be two lengths clear at the end and at the very least a clear cut winner. That is some lumpy weight to haul but he’s done it comfortably before  as the ultimate group horse in a handicap.

*Notable that the likes of sky bet don’t have the balls to put up winning distance bets but a length at evens would be the call here.
