Choice Larga will compete second up over 1300 m in a BM 78 handicap to be joined by Blaike McDougall with the seven-year-old gelding currently posted at odds of $14-1.
He finished third of 7/1100 m at Canterbury when contesting a BM74 handicap a fortnight ago, her second up form is two wins and one placing from 8 attempts has competed successfully at the distance though has failed to impress after 7 visits to the venue.
Best of luck to all connected on Wednesday.
