Race comment
SOONER THE BETTOR (6) performed well without a lot of luck at his Australian debut, racing three wide when a 3.8m fourth in the Hondo Grattan. He was mixing it against the best of his age group in NZ last season, placing in the G1 New Zealand Derby. Strong claims. OUR VINNIE (1) did a good job at his first outing for the Grimson yard, beating Sooner The Bettor home when runner up in the Hondo Grattan. Gets the ace draw again so should enjoy a soft run and will strip fitter second up. MISTER ROBIN HOOD (2) is progressive having won his last two starts here, last week leading from this draw to score by close to 7m. Can measure right up. STRAVINSKY (9) draws out and tackles some handy rivals but is going really well, recording back-to-back wins before placing last time. Respect. DON HUGO (3) draws well and is building towards a win having finished runner up in both starts since a spell.

Race comment
SOONER THE BETTOR (6) performed well without a lot of luck at his Australian debut, racing three wide when a 3.8m fourth in the Hondo Grattan. He was mixing it against the best of his age group in NZ last season, placing in the G1 New Zealand Derby. Strong claims. OUR VINNIE (1) did a good job at his first outing for the Grimson yard, beating Sooner The Bettor home when runner up in the Hondo Grattan. Gets the ace draw again so should enjoy a soft run and will strip fitter second up. MISTER ROBIN HOOD (2) is progressive having won his last two starts here, last week leading from this draw to score by close to 7m. Can measure right up. STRAVINSKY (9) draws out and tackles some handy rivals but is going really well, recording back-to-back wins before placing last time. Respect. DON HUGO (3) draws well and is building towards a win having finished runner up in both starts since a spell.

Race comment
SOONER THE BETTOR (6) performed well without a lot of luck at his Australian debut, racing three wide when a 3.8m fourth in the Hondo Grattan. He was mixing it against the best of his age group in NZ last season, placing in the G1 New Zealand Derby. Strong claims. OUR VINNIE (1) did a good job at his first outing for the Grimson yard, beating Sooner The Bettor home when runner up in the Hondo Grattan. Gets the ace draw again so should enjoy a soft run and will strip fitter second up. MISTER ROBIN HOOD (2) is progressive having won his last two starts here, last week leading from this draw to score by close to 7m. Can measure right up. STRAVINSKY (9) draws out and tackles some handy rivals but is going really well, recording back-to-back wins before placing last time. Respect. DON HUGO (3) draws well and is building towards a win having finished runner up in both starts since a spell.
