Connections of the Kiwi bred Global Assault by O’Reilly out of Ungaro can look positive towards this upcoming preparation after the six-year-old Bay or Brown gelding finished third at Cranbourne on Friday night over a 1000m with Jason Lyon aboard, arriving 0.3 lengths behind the winner Johnny Roo Boy in a time of 59.62.
Jumping worse than midfield as the gates open in the Procon Developments BM70 handicap with Lyon keeping his eye on the leaders, with the early race leader being that of Money Chaser adding an even tempo into the race, until coming to the turn when Johnny Rooboy loomed up from the centre of the track grabbing the lead with Global Assault having an all to do on turning for home being the widest runner, to find an extra gear in the concluding stages to finish third in a great effort on return for connections.
