MALIETOA

MARC & MITCHELL CONNERS · SHANNEN LLEWELLYN · 4yo Gelding

Returns from a six-month break after a heavy-track debut at Hawkesbury, where he settled rearward and was sixth, beaten seven and a half lengths, behind Fitzclarence. That run also included a bleeding ban, so the latest solid third at Warwick Farm is useful readiness context. Debut was plain, but improvement would put him in the minor-money mix.
