JOHN SMERDON · ARCHIE MCCOLM · 2yo Colt
Was beaten a nose at this track last week in a Benchmark 58 after being held up near the 1¼f, so there was clear merit in the run. He had earlier broken through in a Maiden at Coffs Harbour as a well-supported favourite, beating Rubinsky by half a length. Apprentice claim helps, and he looks a genuine place chance again.
