NAVARINO (Box 4)
Breeding: Jun ‘21 Aston Dee Bee x Madalia Maggie
Trainer: Jason Thompson
Record: 38 starts 10-8-9

Dale says: Contesting a strong Mixed Grade 4/5 event, NAVARINO had no right to finish as close as he did considering the trouble he found and the extra ground he covered. Certainly one for your Blackbook.

TOKYO HEIST (Box 8)
Breeding: Sep ‘21 Shima Shine x Elevated
Trainer: Harry Manolitsis
Record: 6 starts 2-1-1

Dale says: In a desperate attempt to get across to the inside rail, TOKYO HEIST lost serious ground and his effort to be narrowly beaten was off the charts. No surprise he came out next start and blitzed his rivals after this eye-catching performance.
