Race Overview

Obviously tricky with all on debut. BLUE ILLUSION (2) has jumped out very nicely and looks to have plenty of talent. By world class sprinter Blue Point and for a top 2yo stable with James Cummings, expect him to be hard to beat. BODYGUARD (3) was a very expensive colt out of top sire I Am Invincible. He's trialled well in Sydney for the Snowden's and they'd be expecting him to run a bold race. WOLFGANG (8) cost half a million and is a well bred Exceed and Excel colt. He's jumped out very nicely and gets James McDonald on. Big chance. DUBLIN DOWN (6) is a son of Coolmore winner Exceedance. Won his latest trial at Ararat and gets Damian Lane on board. ALAA PLENTY (1) is also in the mix.
