Description

** In current form ** Ran 2nd last start at Ballarat!

NZ bred stayer by MASTERCRAFTSMAN with an ultra-consistent record yet to break his Maiden status.

From his 8 career starts he has finished in the first 4 on six occasions in Country VIC for trainer Michael Moroney at Flemington.

He has form on Good and Heavy rated tracks up to 2300m.

A great opportunity to pick up a gelding in current race form and break his Maiden in a weaker grade of racing.
