CONFRONTATIONAL

DARRELL BURNET · BLAIKE MCDOUGALL · 9yo Gelding

Returns from a lengthy lay-off after finishing ninth in a BM70 at Caulfield, beaten seven lengths at long odds after only battling home. He was also second last at Oakbank before that, though he did make some ground without threatening. Old black-type profile helps, but recent race form gives him plenty to turn around.
