VR scratched because he's running in another, weaker race the same day.

Quite a few really promising horses in this. I like La Vienne, I think.

The Hombre runs on the undercard as well and will be the even-money favourite.


And, tomorrow at Dargaville, it's...

Uppland is the half-brother to Upsala, so I'd like to see him do well too. Preferably 2nd.
