Prior to that his form was terrific and he’s a winner at this track and trip. Stablemate PUNCH LANE maps ideally here and will be peaking fourth up. JIMMY THE BEAR produces his best runs at the mile.

Appropriately, it was re-named in 1999 by the VRC Committee to honour the valuable contribution made to Victorian racing by David Joseph Bourke, CBE (1930–2005). He and his family had an historic association with Pakenham Racing Club, where he became Secretary aged 19. He chaired the Victorian Country Racing Council 1973–83. He was a VRC Committee member continuously from 1983 to 2002, ViceChairman 1990 and VRC Chairman 1991–98, promoting the Melbourne Cup internationally.
