Trainer Peter Snowden is confident talented colt Fearless ($1.45 favourite on TAB) can break through for his first win when he drops sharply in class to contest the Sharp Office 2yo Maiden Plate (1200m) at Newcastle on Thursday.

It’s no easy task taking over from the reigning champion apprentice but Jess Del Frari says she has every reason to be confident in partnering Either Oar at her first ride at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Apprentice Jess Del Frari's trek from Wollongong to Wagga has paid dividends after she took out Heat 8 of the Rising Star Series on Thursday (January 6th).
