Captain Ryan^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: G Deacon| OR: 55| D

Good effort in finishing third over 5f last time out. Yet to win over this distance however and others hold stronger claims on return to turf.

TROTTER ended last season with a good second here and he is taken to register a first victory at this venue in this opening sprint handicap. The selection has a top jockey booked to ride and he can get the better of Brockey Rise who has won off a higher mark in the past. Incentive, a stablemate of the selection can follow up her third place in this race 12 months ago by filling the same position this time around.
