A runner from Thursday’s Quirindi meeting has gone into The Sporting Base Black Book after a big first-up second. The way this one got home, after a wide trip, is why it’s worth following next start.
Back from a five-month spell in the Country Boosted Maiden over 1450m, the Paul Messara and Leah Gavranich-trained four-year-old began slowly, came widest off the home turn and was the widest runner on the track for the whole straight. He kept coming and was beaten just 0.04 lengths into second at $3.10, with the first five home within 0.29 lengths.
It was easily his best run in three starts, and the $2.25 favourite Dekka’s Latest finished behind him in third. Second-up with that fitness under him, he looks ready to win a maiden. Look for him next start over 1400m-1600m in a Country Maiden.
