The two and three year-old colts and geldings maiden at the Kensington track this afternoon features three interesting two year-old debutants taking on some experienced three year-old rivals and one of them is the half-brother by Dundeel to dual Group I winner Home Affairs.
Trained by Chris Waller as was his famous older half-brother, Marenaro has been taken along very quietly and has had just the one trial leading into this for a very quiet fourth.
A $540,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Torryburn Stud for Phil Cataldo Bloodstock, Marenaro will be an eye-catcher in the yard with his flashy silver tail.
The Annabel Neasham trained I Am Invincible colt Immortal Island will be looking to keep a late season winning run of juveniles going for his champion sire I Am Invincible. A $650,000 Inglis Easter purchase, he is from Group I winning Stratum mare Miss Wilson.
The other juvenile is also trained by Chris Waller and Lonhro colt Crusader Razor closed off very nicely in his first trial to inspire optimism for his debut.
A $220,000 Inglis Easter purchase, he is a three-quarter brother to Group III winner Laburnum from the family of Anamoe.
