Serpentine trainer-reinsman Dylan Egerton-Green admitted that there were no big wraps on Full Swing Denario after the New Zealand-bred gelding had won the 1730m APG Harness Racing Is Our Focus Pace at Gloucester Park on Friday night.
But he said that Full Swing Denario would be set for the rich feature events for two-year-olds later this year, the Pearl Classic and the Golden Slipper.
Full Swing Denario was the $1.03 favourite from barrier No. 2 in the field of four, and Egerton-Green drove the Rocknroll Hanover gelding to an easy all-the-way win over In The Future ($14) and Do It My Way ($34). Full Swing Denario’s win followed his splendid debut victory at Pinjarra eleven days earlier.
“He was a bit green tonight, hanging around the corners and was looking around a fair bit,” said Egerton-Green. “It was the first time at Gloucester Park and the first time under lights.
“He has a lot to learn but is going to be a nice horse when we get him spot on.”
