That’ll be up to (trainer) James (Cummings) and the team to decide.” Aleppo Pine returned $2.50 with Ladbrokes. Neverenoughlego rallied late to grab second from Pafitis and Hello Romeo.

Impressive win on debut for Aleppo Pine! 👠@JyeMcNeil @godolphin ... solid in only their first and second Australian starts. Tough ask first-up against race fit MISS ROUMBINI (1st), PHARARI ...

Aleppo Pine stamped himself as one of the most promising two-year-olds to have raced this season with a hollow victory in The Courier Handicap (1100m) for James Cummings and Godolphin at Ballarat.

Tough ask first-up against race fit MISS ROUMBINI (1st), PHARARI (2nd) and BIZOT (3rd) with stakes targets on the horizon.
