Music Man could play the tune

This Chester Roberts-trained six-year-old gelding looked very sharp in a 400 metres gallop recorded in 23.78 seconds yesterday morning, and is one to note for the 1200 metres race. And Oceanic Man showed some dash over the same trip timed in 25.53 seconds.

The Gary Hearn-trained roan colt holds the engagement in the day’s opener over 1100 metres on the turf course.

The Terminator continues to please at gallops in clocking a handy 25.05 seconds over a similar trip and must be kept on the right side in the second race tomorrow. Sacrifice who will make her entry to racing in the “A” Division of the 1100 metres sprint on the turf course for three-year-old maidens, showed some fire in stopping the clock at 25.16 for a 1100 metres gallop yesterday.

This filly by Denny Boy out of Pushpa was very steady in her gallop and could well take a hand in the finish of her engagement.
