ATA/BOB HOYSTED HANDICAP
Results
There was nothing about the fresh win from KALLOS (1) that said he was a better horse than what we have seen from him in the past but perhaps he is a more reliable one now gelded and we can trust him to repeat the dose second up. If he can then he can keep ON THE LEAD (3) at bay once again. Interesting addition to the fray is THE BOPPER (2) who has recaptured his form in recent times and looks an ideal horse for the straight course here. No doubt that the straight suits D'JUMBUCK (8) who has won his last two here and those races have been pouring out winners. Four and then three winners have come out from behind him and the times have been fast. Bit to like. A VERY FINE RED (4) looks targetted at this first up and the stable are too sharp to ignore.
