Taree R7 3. Markwell Dreamer
Have sided with the Burges trained Markwell Dreamer here. The blinkers were applied this prep resulting in some sharp improvement. He won the Highway impressively first-up over 1100m in good time. He hit the line well Second-up in the highway over 1200m, finishing 6th 2L, after being held up in the straight. Third-up here out to the 1400m should suit. Barrier 1 a bonus, should settle close without doing much work.
