Gutsy winner Mr Hooper became one of the first beneficiaries of the recent widening of rating bands on Friday night.

Imposing last-start winner Mr Hooper faces a different kettle of fish this Friday as he rises in class in the $70,000 Canada Cup 2019 Class 3 Division 2 race over 1200m, but trainer James Peters saw no reason why his charge would not make his presence felt.

The Lee Freedman trained Jomo tasted his first defeat last start, however he lost no admirers and is worth following at Kranji this evening.

Pennywise will be out to remain unbeaten when he lines up in the feature Group 2 Aushorse Golden Horseshoe (1200m) at Kranji on Friday night.

Trainer James Peters is banking on another Oscar Racing youngster to shine in a two-year-old feature this Friday – Mr Hooper.
