RACE 1 – BETTER YOUR BET WITH TABTOUCH 3YO PACE
- Ryan Bell (HILLVIEW BONDI): “He’s a top five player from the draw. I can choose who I want to sit on.”
- Michael Young (ORLANDO BLUE): “Not sure on his gate speed. Will come out and have a look. Would hold the lead and run a good race if he got there.”
