Baker on Coast watch with promising import

Bjorn Baker will send out import Arapaho in The Coast at Gosford on Saturday. A Rapaho will have just his second start in the Central Coast's newest three and four-year-old event. He joined Baker's Warwick Farm yard three months ago from France.

Tim Clark will ride Arapaho in The Coast. A Rapho made his Australian debut on All Aged Stakes day. He finished sixth, 1¾ lengths off the winner in a Benchmark 100 event over 1400m. Baker is set to field a strong team across the raceday with Overpass, Quiet Riot and Flat Heaven, Exotic Ruby, Belluci Babe and Let It Pour.
