That pool of money will then be invested over the last 10 races (R3-12) on selections…

Jumping smartly from his handy barrier, the three-year-old son of Swiss Ace was placed by Danny Beasley in a striking position off the girth of stablemate Dabble (NZ) (Pure Champion), who was overracing upfront. The race was…
