He is nominated for Bendigo this coming Sunday over 700m.
We are then looking at taking him to Sandown for the Lizrene Classic heats which are on the 16th April and Final on 23rd in preparation for a shot at the Sandown Cup in May.
We lost 7-10 days preparation with him after his last 731m race when he railed up strongly only to have Noble Quoted ram him into the running rail on the home turn. Resulting in a slight tear to his upper thigh muscle which is why i bypassed the Premiers Cup last week as he was still 1 run short in his preparation. Last nights run was a great hit out for him as he has only had the 1 531m race at Gawler and 1 643m trial at Gawler since he was injured.
The times last night were slow as the track was turned over on Friday which always results in slower times for the next couple of meetings until the track settles back down.
