BRANSOM CAN DEFY A RISE IN CLASS
The Straits Times
|July 10, 2024
Trainer Peters’ impressive last-start winner can measure up to Class 3 company on Poly
-
Bransom may be stepping up in class, but the connections of the flashy gelding are confident he will be up to the task in the $70,000 Class 3 race over 1,000m on July 13.
The son of Brazen Beau was impressive when he won his last start in Class 4 over the same trip on June 1 and, while he has yet to win above that company, the four-yearold gelding did run third in a Class 2 race (1,100m) in December, 2023.
Although the highlight of the 10race meeting on July 13 has attracted nine quality nominations, including another last-start winner, Ejaz, and Polytrack specialist Illustrious, Bransom looks well weighted with 56kg.
Trainer James Peters thinks the strong field will be a good test to see how far his Polytrack sprinter can go.
