A high quality field of 10 is set to lock horns in the 2020 VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday.
There are five runners coming from The Everest (1200m), with market leaders Bivouac and Nature Strip being joined by Santa Ana Lane, Tofane, and Libertini.
Last start winners Hey Doc, Graff, and Zoutori also line up, in what looks to be a hotly contested sprint down the straight.
Chris Waller will be hoping for a similar running to last year’s edition, when Nature Strip was too good for his rivals.
What a performance 🚀 🔥
Nature Strip wins the VRC Sprint Classic for @cwallerracing and @mcacajamez.
