Resuming, over a trip probably too short for him, he does nonetheless rate a sneaky each way chance with the apprentice claim.

6.30 p.m. R4 1 Lord of Light (4 g Power - Danwood) - Vlad Duric; two runners for the stable in the Maiden 1000m on the poly track where the first for Mark Walker will jump from barrier 5 of 11 and carry 57.5kgs. He will be ridden with patience and rates a top four chance.

7.30 p.m. R6 3 Lim's Knight (6 g Kaphero - Solamina) - Ryan Curatolo; draws barrier 4 of 12 in the $80,000 Class 3 1100 metres on turf and carries 55kgs. He races well fresh but may require a drop back in grade.

8.20 p.m. R8 1 Hidden Promise (6 g Postponed - Promissory) - CK Ng (a3); another where the stable has dual representation - the first runner will break from barrier 8 of 10 in the $45,000 Class 4 1600 metres on the poly track and carries 54kgs. He's in great form, but meet a tougher field however with the apprentice claim, he does pose a top four chance.
