MATTHEW SMITH · CHAD SCHOFIELD · 3yo Colt

Debuts after two trials, with the latest a close third at Rosehill that gives him a sound fitness pointer for this first outing. The family provides real interest, being a half brother to Headwall, whose record includes Group sprint form, and Chad Schofield is a positive booking at this venue. Trialled okay and the lugging bit goes on, each way.
