Returning from a injury enforced lay off that saw him miss the inter dominion’s in Perth “Bowie “ burnt around the 1400 metre track at Menangle in a mile rate of 1;56.5 coming home his last two quarters in 27.9 and 27 flat.
The son of Bettors Delight will press on towards the Miracle Mile in March but is unlikely to travel to Melton for the Victorian Cup.
