Fools’ pace a big help

TRAINER Jarrod McLean is backing Trap For Fools’ frontrunning style to avoid a repeat of last year’s chaotic Kingston Town Classic in Perth today.

McLean and his boss Darren Weir still have nightmares over $3.20 favourite Black Heart Bart being smashed from pillar to post early and losing any chance of winning the 2017 Group 1 event.

“Trap For Fools will come across from barrier 10 and go forward,” McLean said of the Mackinnon Stakes winner, an $8.50 chance. “His racing pattern eliminates the bad luck.”
