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.

Lavra Joe, who’s now earned in excess of $730,000 is still in search of his first group 1 victory, could this be the week for the WA bred star?

Great weather, great crowds, and an even better line-up of horses, what more could you want for Australia’s richest Group 1, the $1.25million The Nullarbor, with Gloucester Park hosting the feature last Friday on what could only be described as a great spectacle.

He’s been knocking on the door in plenty of feature races, but tomorrow night’s Nullarbor (2536m) is set to be a breakthrough night for Lavra Joe, according to driver Kyle Harper.

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.
