Defending champion Mighty Ronaldo has secured a start in this Friday’s Retravision-Fremantle Cup (2936m), thanks to the scratching of WA Pacing Cup winner Diego.

Jack Callaghan had the hard task of drawing the barrier for Spirit Of St Louis and the Aaron Bain Summit Bloodstock Slot and he did not disappoint, drawing barrier 1 in this Friday nights, $1.25million Gr1 The Nullarbor.

Mighty Ronaldo’s big race record has earned him a second crack at the TABtouch-Nullarbor (2536m) at Gloucester Park on Friday week.

Trainer Justin Prentice admits he can’t put his finger on why Mighty Ronaldo produced an underwhelming run in Saturday’s Bunbury Cup (2569m) and is hoping for an improved performance this week.

WA Pacing Cup winner Wildwest will be out to press his claims for a sport in this year’s edition of the $450,000 event, when he lines up in tonight’s TABtouch Pace (2536m) at Gloucester Park.
