FormscanBy Tom Weekes - MY LIFE BE LIKE is a four-time pointing winner and ran well in a smart hunters chase during Christmas. Although pulled up on his initial hunters chase start last May, the selection has bounced back and wasn’t beaten far in Down Royal recently. He has yet to race on testing ground, which is a concern, but drops in class. Seven-time points winner Magic Sadler finished second in last year’s renewal although is vulnerable to smarter types. Dromleigh finished second in 2024, while I Walked The Line went unsold for E70,000 following his May success and has yet to race on heavy ground, but debuts for formidable connections. Step Up Son finished second in March’s Tetratema.
