HRNSW GUARANTEED 2YO PACE 1720m

Track: FAST      

MY ULTIMATE BANJO (1) looks close to a win after seconds in his last two outings, one of them from this draw when he led and stuck on. Progressing nicely and gets his chance. SENTOSAR (6) is a colt by Downbytheseaside on debut for Peter Rixon. Has been showing ability in the city trials, placing in all three hitouts. They should have him ready to go so he could kick off with a win. NATURALLY BETTOR (3) is another at the track for the first time. By champion sire Bettors Delight and hails from the Wayne Dimech stable. Trialling well and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so makes plenty of appeal. THIS IS HEAVEN (9) overcame a break to place on debut at Newcastle. Has won a trial since and is open to improvement.
