Toowoomba Race 5 - Empire Of Japan - Standing At Hopetoun Farm Mdn Hcp
The Gollan yard looks to hold the aces. ESPRIT DU JOUR (8) draws awkwardly but brings promising form from Eagle Farm. Had no luck last time and a senior hoop goes on. Rates best but it's early days. BUTWEDID (2) resumed on the poly and needed the outing. He's fitter and likely to secure an economical run. ARCTIC BEAR (1) just missed here on debut when expected to need it. Has a sticky gate but he will keep building.
