Won
F: 5X11B(8)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
Favourite on debut eleven months ago, it was spelled and allowed to mature. Highly rated by the Pike team, it has signalled its potential with two impressive wins since resuming and it's a confident pick to in fact get the 'hat trick'
Main Danger
2 Freeze Frame
F: 13201B(6)W(61.0)

F: 72245B(7)W(61.5)

F: 51202B(7)W(60.0)
