Description

Westspeed Platinum eligible, 4YO Class 1 with a current metro rating of 59.

Has raced four times already this prep, remains in full training and has accepted to start at Ascot Sat 19/10.

Placed twice in town as a 2YO, and was competitive in metro Saturday events as a 3YO before starting in the WATC Derby last April.

Still has plenty of racing ahead of him, and while he would suit the Geraldton and Esperance regions, at his best he could win at Ascot or Belmont.

Stable is reducing numbers and focusing on younger stock.
