The winner of the 5yo Geldings Maiden at Tyrella on 28 January. This improving son of Ask then ran a very creditable 2nd at the same venue to AS THE CROW FLIES who was completing his fourth consecutive victory. He is an imposing sort who travels strongly in his races and has more to give.

Lot 132: Ask Robin 5yo gelding by Robin des Champs:  

This embryonic chaser ran a fine race on his debut to be placed 2nd in the 5yo Maiden at Knockanard on 12 February.
