2025 WOLF SIGNS 4YO CHAMPIONSHIP (GROUP 3) 2138m

Track: GOOD      

THE JANITOR (9) cops another tricky draw but continues to perform strongly, missing by a neck in the Rising Sun before drawing deeper on this row and working before going under by a head last week. Big on talent and with a touch better luck can return to the winners' list. MAJOR HOT (1) is building up to a win. Hasn't been far away when tackling these rivals in his last couple of outings and the ace draw gives him every chance to deliver. OUR LUCIANO (7) showed what he is capable of in last week's Kevin Thomas 4YO, overcoming a second row barrier to beat The Janitor. Draws wide but could go on with it now that he is back in winning form. GLITTER AINT GOLD (4) was good when placed last week, adding to a string record at this distance. Can feature again. OUR GOAT (5) jumps in grade but has been winning impressively.
