New import, Social Master, still has to acclimatise and get use to local race tracks. Another contender is This Son of Jetmaster, a top horse owned by the undercover syndicate.Another interesting race will be in the D – division where Aruthusa, Quequen, Light Up My Life and Junk Yard Kid have to fight it out over one thousand metres.
