Dunn confident Boys Night Out can end with Big Dance
Murwillumbah trainer Matthew Dunn will attempt to secure Big Dance eligibility with emerging prospect Boys Night Out when the form galloper lines up in Sunday's $80,000 Grafton Toyota South Grafton Cup (1610m). Boys Night Out has five wins and six placings from 16 starts and has amassed more than $200,000 in prizemoney, and Dunn believes he is capable of stepping up in grade. 'He's been racing very well,' Dunn said, while adding Boys Night Out would be his only runner in the South Grafton Cup. 'He won at Rosehill two starts ago. It was in Highway grade, but the manner in which he did it was certainly very impressive. And then he came out and got the job done at Ipswich at his latest start.' Boys Night Out has the outside barrier to contend with in the South Grafton Cup, and Jake Bayliss takes the ride with the son of No Nay Never having the minimum weight of 54 kilograms. He faces stern opposition in the shape of the Joseph Pride-prepared Headley Grange, which has 62 kilograms to contend with. Headley Grange has eight wins and seven placings from 18 starts and has won almost $600,000 in stakes. Adam Hyeronimus, who was on Headley Grange when he resumed with victory at Randwick, is back aboard in Sunday's feature. The galloper lines up on the back of a last-start win in the listed Civic Stakes in which Jason Collett was in the saddle. Annabel and Rob Archibald will be represented by Sibaaq in the South Grafton Cup with Kyle Wilson-Taylor taking the ride, while the Ciaron Maher stable has Vivy Air in the event with jockey Ashley Morgan in the saddle.

Ralph De Leon on Will Ashley's on faded closeness with Bianca De Vera: It was all about respect, boundaries
Ralph De Leon defended Will Ashley after being questioned about his faded closeness and shift in friendship with Bianca De Vera during the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." Wednesday's episode showed the continuation of Boy Abunda's visit inside the house and Ralph and Will's turn for the "Defend Your Duo" segment. The question for Will, which was answered by Ralph, was: "Will, what happened sa sinabi mo kay Bianca after noong Boys Night Out n'yo na mas mag-e-effort ka na bumawi at maibalik ang malapit na pagkakaibigan n'yo noon? Bakit natapos ang edisyon na hindi nanumbalik ang closeness n'yo?" Ralph responded with composure, emphasizing Will's decision to prioritize respect and personal boundaries. "For Will, Tito Boy and to everyone watching, it was all about respect. It was all about boundaries because they set the boundaries within their relationship for Bianca and Dustin [Yu]," Ralph said. Per Ralph, Bianca and Dustin weren't comfortable sharing things with Will or building a relationship with Will because of what they have. "Both of them were friends with Will outside. Both of them had certain relationships with Will outside. But here in this house, they wanted to build something for themselves, and Will chose to respect that. Will chose to give them that space. And Will really just respected whatever they had," Ralph said. Will echoed his duo's sentiments, affirming that Ralph had spoken exactly what he would have said himself. "Alam na po talaga ng mga housemates, especially si Ralph, kung ano po 'yung mga totoong nangyayari talaga. Kaya 'yung mga sinabi po ni Ralph kanina, 'yun po talaga 'yung exact na mga words na gusto ko pong sabihin kung ako man po 'yung mag-e-explain para sa sarili ko po," he said. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network Mondays to Saturdays at 9:35 p.m. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
