Audio Description

Description
Lightly raced 4yo gelding, who has shown good potential. After winning a barrier trial, he has never been far away in his five starts, and last start was his only time out of the first five, when beaten just over 4 lengths in a strong field.
Owner only wants to retain Metropolitan standard horses, therefore is moving him on. He should win plenty of races outside the SEQ area. He is strong,sound, has good gate speed and is easy to ride. Only races two weeks ago, so is ready to go back to the races.
