Vaughan Marshall’s Street Outlaw tops the log (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Vaughan Marshall’s two-year-old colt Street Outlaw (Master Of My Fate) is at the top of the first log, having been given a merit rating of 96 by the handicapper following his debut success over subsequent G3 stakes winner, We’re Jamming.
Candice Bass-Robinson’s Piroshka (Quasilo) has a win and four places to show from five starts. He finished ahead of Street Outlaw when they were beaten by Dave The King recently and, rated 95, occupies second place on the table ahead of third-placed Royal Aussie (Royal Mo), a fast-improving type from Justin Snaith’s yard, who has already won over the course and distance.
Mike Miller’s G3-placed Sabatini (What A Winter) holds fourth ahead of Captain Peg (Jay Peg), a smart filly and the only two-time winner in the Top 5 so far. Stuart Pettigrew’s runner shares fifth with Franz Lehar (Querari), who has had his form well franked, with no fewer than four winners having come from behind him on his impressive Scottsville debut in June.
More changes and updates will follow as the log changes, and connections of the potential runners and racing fans will be updated regularly.
