Breckon Farms Check Out Our 2025 Draft Mbl Pace

Prize Money: $18,181

WE WALK BY FAITH (6) scored at his most recent outing by 2.25 metres at this track over 2600m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Has the class to make it two on the bounce. BAZOOKA (1) starts from a far better draw than last start when he finished a well-beaten ninth over 2600m at this track. Showed what he is capable of when successful over 1980m at the same circuit two starts back. Has the talent to take care of this field. BUILT FOR GLORY (7) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Richmond Park over 1609m. WISH ME LUCK (5) ended last prep with a win at Kaikoura over 2400m 12 weeks ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind We Walk By Faith at this track over 2600m in a 3yo on December 6 at $10.70. Performed better the start before where he won by 18 m as favourite (Sr5) at this track (2:22.70) beating Song Sung Blue in 3yo+ on November 29 at $2. Much better draw this time and expected to make amends.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Xlendi at Richmond Park over 3000m on January 10 at $4. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Rakero Rocket at Richmond Park over 1609m on January 12 at $4.40. One of the better chances.
