Resuming from a spell, Nicconi gelding Tuscan Falls showed some of the potential we now he possesses, finishing a good second over 1100m at Hawkesbury with Brenton Avdulla in the saddle.

Recording some very good trial performances last time in, the Gary Portelli-trained runner didn’t manage to produce that at his only start at the track last campaign.

Coming home well from a mid-field position, Tuscan Falls’ second placed finish indicates that he looks to have matured during his spell and we look forward to seeing what he can produce this campaign.

Likely to step up again in distance next start, fingers crossed the next story you read about him is that he has broken his maiden!
