Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. YEAH BUDDY (2) consistent gelding resuming. Now in the Rod Northam yard and primed with a trial placing over 1000m at Tamworth. Finds a very thin Maiden to get off the mark. LOPE DE LUNA (1) Odyssey Moon gelding from Lope de Mango on debut for the Rod Northam yard. Ran fourth in a recent trial over 1000m at Tamworth. Leading jockey booked and worth serious thought. HIGHLAND DANCER (4) started a solid ($1.60 fav) on resumption with a battling third over 1100m at Quirindi. Smart when right and gets every chance today. MR HUGO (7) Victor Ludorum gelding from Glitterhouse on debut for the Scott Singleton yard. Has shown ability in the two trials and ticks a few boxes with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yeah Buddy can get the better of these for the new yard.
