Three-year-old gelding making debut by Royal Meeting out of Around The Clock. Purchased for AUD $ 130,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Adelaide Yearling Sale). Half-brother to G1 winner in NZ and G3 winner in HK Dances With Dragon. Has performed well at the trials coming in and looks to have plenty of ability.

First starter by Ardrossan out of Venetian Raider. Has shown enough at the trials to suggest he can be in the mix in what looks a race lacking depth.
