Westbound looms as the horse to beat in Race 6 at 2000m, with jockey Clint Johnston-Porter back in the saddle. Can the step up in trip unlock a big Saturday result?
Race 6, the Aquanita Stakes for the colts and geldings over 2000m, shapes as Westbound's moment.
A luckless run in the Belmont Guineas saw him grind away on-speed while parked three and four wide throughout - a gutsy effort by any measure.
Now with Clint Johnston-Porter climbing back aboard and a previous win at 1800m in the bank, the modest rise to 2000m looks tailor-made for a three-year-old crying out for ground.
Shaping as one of the best plays on Saturday's card.
Odds subject to change.
