John grew up knowing he'd always love horses, with his Dad & his grandfather both in the industry. An owner of 2 broodmares himself, with 1 filly & another on the way, John might one day be a Flemington winner.

Race Preview

BRITISH COLUMBIA (1) seems to be appreciating the slightly longer trips, winning very well over 1700m at Caulfield last start in a BM84. He's now out to 2000m but that shouldn't pose an issue and he maps well with added fitness to come. LAUDING (3) struggled first up in the British Columbia race but didn't have the best of luck and did show some ability last time in. If Melham can settle him closer he can improve out of sight. DESPERADO (2) is racing consistently and is rock hard fit. He maps to lead and will take catching. ST VINCENTS GARDEN (8) made his Australian debut at Sunshine Coast and hit the line well for second. He should take plenty of benefit from that and this trip will suit. STAR VEGA (11) is in the mix.
