WESTERN AUSTRALIA, third in the Futurity at Doncaster in the autumn, was probably an unlucky loser on his reappearance in a Listed race at Dundalk. This stiffer test of stamina should be right up his street and he is likely to take all the beating. Kick On looks held on Doncaster running but Walkinthesand beat January’s Meydan winner Good Fortune at Sandown in September and should improve again for another winter on his back. Kadar looked a cracking prospect when beating the odds-on Waldstern at Haydock on his debut but the runner-up disappointed here on his final start last year.
