Some promising three-year-old's here and it should prove a very competitive affair. Mark Johnston's team are flying since racing returned and HURAIZ looks the sort to go well. A C&D winner in August, he twice acquitted himself in better company after and should have further progress in him this season. Similar sentiments for stablemate Homespin, King Ragnar and Jouska but perhaps the main danger will be Smokey Bear, progressive in each of four starts last season (won twice) and destined for better things seemingly.
