Wyong Leagues Group $500,000 2025 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Overcast
Open race. Robusto comes up favourite. Maps for an okay run from barrier 7 and looks a big chance in this field. Redbreast maps for a good run and should be in the finish. Osipenko is ready to win again and put the writing on the wall last time out. Spangler will need luck from the wide draw but is racing well enough.
