VEGAS RAIDER will look to step up to a $120,000 Saturday Midway next weekend after a brave effort at Gosford yesterday where he worked home strongly to finish second.
Unfortunately the three-year-old cost himself a winning chance by missing the start and although jockey Kerrin McEvoy managed to recover and position him close enough to challenge them, our boy simply burnt too much petrol early.
The run had plenty of merit as VEGAS RAIDER had to lump 61kg and gave away 3kg to the eventual winner.
A drop in weight for Saturday week should benefit, so we look forward to seeing how he performs with McEvoy already booked to ride.
