There's every possibility that a luckless second by Possibly So in a far tougher CDRA Championships at Mudgee last preparation and three race wins has the gelding massive early overs ($23 on TAB) for Saturday’s TAB Highway at Royal Randwick.

Sentiment and precious memories ride with comeback galloper Life Well Lived into Saturday’s TAB Highway at Royal Randwick.

A Highway is the short term goal for Bathurst trainer Andrew Ryan’s talented gelding Life Well Lived if he shows he’s returned from a throat operation in good order at Mudgee on Sunday.

While Bjorn Baker, prolific at Central Districts tracks and Bathurst’s Dean Mirfin have the numbers and form to dominate Friday’s Orange TAB meeting, respected local trainer Andrew Ryan has select value chances.
