Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 69| CD

5/6

Left his 3 runs last year well behind when making a winning handicap debut over C&D a fortnight ago. Highly likely there's more to come from this well-bred colt from a good yard. The one to beat.

Pons Aelius (5/6), Love Mystery (4/1), Geelong (9/2), Thermometer (11/1), Ocean Ruler (11/1)

There could be plenty more to come from PONS AELIUS now he's up and running and he can make light of a 6 lb rise and follow up last month's C&D win. Andrew Balding's Love Mystery can give him most to think about.
