Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Peter Muscutt saddles Aurora Storm in Race 7. He has good recent form lines to his credit.
He was squeezed leaving the start last time, but the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. It must be noted that Ponte Pietra has come out and won again since.
Aurora Storm – drops to the mile today and can go close (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. From pole position, he should notch up his third career victory.
Gimme A Rainbow from the Carl Hewitson yard may be the horse to close off the meeting.
His last two starts over 1000m have been fair. He has won five times, finished second six times and third three times from 23 starts over this distance.
Apprentice Trent Mayhew takes the 4kgs off his back which will help his cause. He continues to drop in the ratings and can return to winning ways.
