Karijini Aurora

Still can’t get how impressive her trial was prior to her 1st up run out of my head. They crawled last week, she drew wide, got back, had to get going miles from home and the front few who had been afforded all the favours were off and gone. The run had plenty of merit, she’s on the quick back-up here, drawn to get a beautiful run, confident she is going to run a really big race and stamp her class.
