SIROBBIE looks to have been found a good opportunity to complete his hat-trick and he is taken to register a victory in the opening race on the card. West To Crossgales ran well on his seasonal debut last time out and he can finish runner-up ahead of Realta Dawn who is looking for her first victory.
