The new MJC racing season kicks off this Saturday with six sand races, I would like to pick for a runner that has already shown improvement in his races and with the off season preps that aim for an early season success coming through on the season opening. The runner is Modena Best (pictured) from Wayne Smith’s yard, he will get his chance in this particular sand race. Wayne Smith has sat on him in his track work and he is very please with Modena Best’s response in yesterday work out. Modena Best is a consistent sand performer his last race on 1800 metres turf was messy and raced wide without cover throughout, this time he has W.L Ho on the plate, hopefully through his good pair of hands, Modena Best will get good cover from the early stages of the race, and then find a good tactical position in the last 200 metres with the good stamina that he inherited from Medaglia D’Oro and fire on. Wayne Smith is in good form towards the end of last season let’s all hope that Modena Best will fly the flag early for Wayne’s yard this Saturday. Davy Chiu
