Big Shooter


Lot 3 - Big Shooter

A winning five-year-old son of Shooting To Win, the half-brother to the Gr.3 placed winner Manhattan Boss has been striking dry tracks of late but has shown a real liking for rain affected going.


Lot 11 - HongKong Harmony

It was a deserved maiden victory recorded by this well related Shamardal gelding a few weeks ago and winning form is good form! Hailing from one of Europe's finest families, he is a horse who has also been placed on eight occasions.


Lot 14 - Italian Informant

A winner at Wyong and Warwick Farm and competitive without the best of luck in Victoria over the spring, this Spill The Beans gelding finished off well to record consecutive placings in September.


Lot 33 - Tizso Fab

A three time winner up to BM58 level (and there are plenty of those races around at this time of year), this five-year-old son of Astern and a stakes placed mare has good speed and tends to make his own luck. He is due to run at Werribee on Saturday and will be nicely primed to join a new stable.


Lot 38 - Albanian Icon

A winning five-year-old who has also figured in the placings on five occasions, his daughter of Holler and a Lonhro mare easily won her maiden over 1887m. In full work, she has been striking rain affected tracks of late.
