Top Pick
1 High Country
F: X4263B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Sam McNab )
( T-Tony Pike )
We said two weeks ago that trainer has always had good expectations around this galloper and it nearly started to endorse that when just beaten in a close finish that day. Sam McNab again brings the claim and hard to beat
Main Danger
10 Honor Mission
F: 9X621B(11)W(57.0)
( J-Rory Hutchings )

This 4yo has only had the 4 runs and did it nicely when breaking maidens last start. Wide draw and this tougher but does look to have upside
