Race 4 – Wolfram

Race 3 – Bonete
Bonete delivered a commendable performance, securing second place in the Listed Summer Pudding Handicap in her last outing.

Positioned towards the rear initially, she accelerated effectively under minimal pressure, securing a convincing victory. While facing stronger opponents, this Gimmethegreenlight descendant displays inherent class and carries a manageable 52.5kgs. The extension to 1400m is expected to be favourable, and with a promising draw of three, her unbeaten streak seems likely to continue.
