Race 6-New Zealand Bloodstock Maiden Plate 1600m

Big Short put the writing on the wall with an eye catching performance at Gosford second up recently. It was a 1600 maiden and he came from 10-12 lengths off the lead at the 1000m to go down by a length. The long straight is in his favour and Bowman rides from the rails barrier.
