Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh is bullish about the prospects of talented stayer Felaar in Saturday’s Listed Royston Hospital Hawke's Bay Cup (2200m).
The consistent five-year-old finished second to Artiste last start over 2100m at Tauranga and will carry the 53kg minimum on Saturday in a field headed by 96-rater Dolcetto, who will have to lump 60kgs.
“I’m really big on Felaar,” Marsh said.
“He’s got blinkers on for the first time and has drawn nicely and at the weights, with 53kgs, I think he is a massive chance.”
