Minella Four Star That's Rhythm Victor Daly Classic Frontier
I am not going to break the winning habit and I am going to back MINELLA FOUR STAR here. Has been schooled at DEP's from what little I know and I think they quite like this one off near enough bottom weight. Can make use of limitless stamina and getting weight all round. You seen what they can do with Junior, I think they'll do the same with this one which also came from Alan's yard.
You ?
