\n

A mistake from behind the tapes last time out spoiled the otherwise perfect record for Final Approach (6) so far in this campaign but a chance behind the mobile arm here can help put things back on track. A progressive trotter with a big future and even from the wide draw looks a live chance.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A first starter from the Tony Herlihy stable, Shades\u00a0<\/span>Of<\/span>\u00a0Cool (8) looks to have a decent motor based off what\u00a0<\/span>we\u2019ve<\/span>\u00a0seen in trials and workouts ahead of this debut.
