Description
Welwal, a Group 3 winning 5yo European import by Shalaa, who has won 4 races from his 19 starts with a further 7 placings is being offered for sale. He started his career off in France before venturing to Australia to contest the Golden Eagle. He raced without luck in the Golden Eagle but has continued to race consistently at stakes grade. This preparation he won a Saturday city race first up over 1400m before going on to finish 3rd in the Doncaster Prelude (Group 3), 3rd in the Hawkesbury Cup beaten 0.35 lengths (Group 3) and his latest start, 5th in the Scone Cup (Listed).
With a Benchmark rating of 102 in New South Wales, Welwal will continue to race up to his mark and he presents a perfect opportunity to race in Saturday metropolitan grade races as well as Group and listed races where he will continue to be competitive.
