RACE 1 No.1 Spirit One

Yet another very interesting 2yo race where the main hopes are clearly this filly & Press Start. Can build a strong case for both however the respective barrier draws clearly favour Spirit One who is speedy & showed a ton of it when fighting on well here on debut. In the same race Press Start got back & ran on after a tardy getaway. Looks a great exacta/quinella!


RACE 7 No.11 Red Stina

Quality mare from the Rex Lipp stable who resumed in impressive fashion here a fortnight back finishing a strong closing third over 1400m. In a race run only leisurely she wasn’t entitled to fill a placing however she zipped through the final 200m to claim a spot late. The additional 200m tomorrow is perfect for her & if within striking distance half way down the straight look out!


RACE 10 No.1 Macewen

Things finally went his way here last start when a runaway winner over this exact trip. He’d been a victim of slowly run races & traffic jams his prior two outings after kicking off his prep with a strong finishing second at Doomben. He does meet Pinnacle Star worse at the weights tomorrow however is proven over 1200m whereas his main rival is not. Too strong!
