  • Race 2: Actuality – $4.40

  • Race 7: Carbonados – $3.30

Quick Summary: He was able to overcome some bad luck early in the straight to win first up, but his first up stats are impressive (5: 3-1-0), and he is yet to place second up from 3 runs.

He has also drawn off the track, which will make his job a tough one.
