HARD KICK

BEN, WILL & JD HAYES · DAMIAN LANE · 2yo Gelding

When resuming faded in the straight 6th of 8 in a 2yo Hcp at this track on July 18 over 5f, slow going 5 len behind Riverina Lulu carrying 9st at 1/1. Second run from a lay-off won by a long-neck in the G3 Vain Stakes at Caulfield on August 15 over 5½f in soft going defeating Organised Crime with 8st13lb at 6/1. Tougher here but hard to ignore entirely.
