HORSEPOWER SHOWCASE STAR KINGDOM 2YO C&G HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 1000m to 300m. True Remainder.  

Many of these two-year-olds step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. JET (4) well-bred Zoustar colt out of stakes-winning mare Villami on debut for the Waterhouse & Bott yard. Two recent trial wins have been impressive and gets his chance in this contest. FASVARA (2) Farnan colt from a Hurricane Run mare on debut for the Kris Lees yard. Fitted with three recent trials and like the way he finished off when winning an 845m Wyong trial. Blinkers go on and gets his chance. GEMOLOGIST (3) is a two-year-old gelding by Graff from Tangerine on debut for the Minervini yard. Coming along well at the trials at Newcastle and stays in the mix. HINTO (8) only runner with race experience. Had no luck from the draw when seventh over 1000m at Tamworth on April 24. Slim claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jet to take catching.
