Is undefeated youngster Paua Of Janie the real deal or a ‘flash’ in the pan?
That question could go a long way towards being answered tonight at Warragul when Steve White’s exciting NSW import Paua Of Janie (6 from 6) makes her second Victorian appearance, facing G3 winner Blackpool Flash (24 from 46 – 6 of past 10).
White and his ‘Paua’ team will feature in another standout Warragul clash, with Paua Of Buddy (4 from 6 – 3 from 3 Trk/Dst), Paua Of Janie’s brother, tackling Aston Gigante (3 from 4), a brother to stars Aston Rupee and Aston Fastnet.
There’s also enormous quality on display at Horsham, headlined by G2 Geelong Cup winner and G1 National Derby finalist Weblec Jet (11 from 33).
G1 Hobart Thousand finalist Run And Carry (15 from 29 – 2 from 2 Box 6) looks set to enhance his imposing resume at his Horsham debut, while Man Absconded (22 from 62) is another prolific winner sure to take some stopping.
Superbly-bred prospect Wing Chun Girl (2 from 3), a half-sister to G1 Melbourne Cup hero Hard Style Rico, is poised to continue the bright start to her career, while Betatron (8 from 21 – 7 from 12 Trk/Dst) will take on evergreen centurion Kraken Tex (20 from 103), winner of his last 4 in a row.
Meanwhile, at Healesville, in-form speedster Coolant (10 from 18 – 5 of past 7) is striving to continue his excellent recent straight track form for veteran mentor Jimmy Redenbach.
