Description

Masatora, 3YO gelding by Real Steel

Lightly raced, Masatora missed out on winning his maiden by 0.1 lengths and has run fourth behind Affluential who has been unbeaten in his last three runs and took out the Champion Novice Hurdle at Warrnambool last week. Masatora won his last start on the 10th of May at Cranbourne.

Similarly, Masatora will only improve over distance. We think he would be more competitive in a weaker racing jurisdiction and his ownership wishes to focus on their Saturday/Stakes class horses.
