Stunning first-up winner Spring In His Step has drawn barrier three for Saturday night’s Gordon Rothacker Memorial Championship Final.
The Russell Jack-trained colt couldn’t have been more impressive in his heat victory last weekend when he sat three-wide for basically the entire 1720m trip and looks extremely hard to beat in this weekend’s $30,000 Group 3 contest at Tabcorp Park Melton.
The field rated 1:53.8, which was more than two seconds quicker than the heat Andy Gath-trained Sanday won earlier in the night.
The first five horses across the line in the two qualifiers progressed to the final, which was won last year by Yorkshire.
