RACE SIX
This is a cracking 2YO contest to close the season, with a mix of experience, hype and littered with winning form. BORELLA (10) is a three-time winner that is furnishing into the real deal. Defeating older horses last start over the 2138m when pulling clear to an 11m margin, it followed a effortless win from gate 1 with margins of 11m x 28m. The gate hurts but he is more than up to this.
ARODA (2) is still a maiden after four NZ attempts but has clashed with some handy horses at each outing. The half-brother to the champion 3YO AKUTA arrives to join the Dixon stable and lands the gate first up to display his talent.
ALTA MAGACIAN (5) is undefeated in two starts since his career began here in Qld. Releasing from gate 1 and then darting past them on debut, he closed smartly from the second line last time. This is a test, but he looks smart.
FRANKIE FEROCIOUS (7) resumes from a spell following his last start 3rd in the QBRED Final when sitting parked and holding on for 3rd behind FOR REAL LIFE. The gate stings first up and with no public trial, night be short for this battle.
