Race 1 - 1 200m: SCOTS WAE HAE

Mike said that Scots Wae Hae had a minor setback with lameness after his impressive debut, but he’s back and has been working very well. “We’ve done as much as we can, he should run a good race.”

Race 2 - 1 200m: GIMME A FIREBALL

Gimme a Fireball worked steadily into third on his 1000m debut at this course in May and Mike said: “He is a coltish type, temperamental and not straightforward, but he has a lot of talent and we’re expecting him to be right there. He’s had a bit of a freshen up and we’ve worked on his issues.”

Race 3 - 1 600m: SPARROW MAN

Sparrow Man takes a quick step up to 1600m after running on nicely on his 1100m debut. He’s a good-looking horse with ability and Mike commented: “He’s a big galloper and in a good space. The mile should be up his alley. What beats him, wins.”
