Audio Description

Description

Big strong gelding standing 16.3 - Lightly raced, given plenty of time to mature.

Racing manners have finally clicked, as evident by the way he has settled in his last 2 runs and hitting the line strongly.

Has won carrying big weights, coming from last or leading. Qld metro placed, provincial winner. Big win at Dubbo over 1400.

Best suited from 1400-2000. Had a mild cough which pulled his last prep up short. Has been treated and 4 weeks spell, ready to go on with.

Very clean winded and sound, great conformation and constitution. Huge potential.

Regretful Sale as Owner leaving the industry.
