Race 1: Trader 2YO Plate 1050m

Manzala (1^st) sat back at the rear and has rounded them all up in the straight, nice debut. Raahee (2^nd) led and gave a good kick, should be winning a maiden in the near future. No excuses for the rest of them.

Race 2: Wolf Blass Wines Handicap 2500m

On pace dominated with Instrumentalist (1^st) holding out Tunes (2^nd), both have no upside but can keep running well in these staying races. Flying Casino (3^rd) was the only one to run on but does so every start without winning, can’t be following moving forward with any confidence.

Race 3: Gary Radford Family Handicap 1050m

Fancy Rumble (1^st) settled back towards the rear off what looked a solid tempo, has rounded them up well in the straight, good return, can keep winning. Tan Tat Flame (2^nd) has also ran on well from the rear, winner just too strong. Spiritual Girl (4^th) looked to lead at the strong tempo and gave a good kick, nice run.

Race 4: C A Haigh Memorial Trophy 1200m

Chamois Road (1^st) sat on the speed and has been too strong late, just keeps running well, the horse is low flying. Desert Lashes (2^nd) led and gave a solid kick, lost no admirers. Tried and Tired (3^rd) has gone well enough.

Race 5: Penna Michael Chartered Accountants Handicap 1800m

The two favourites were working each other hard up on the speed with Hussybay (1^st) proving too strong late, is low flying this prep, has a great will to win. Wasabi Bob (2^nd) worked early and has fought on well in the straight, going well. No excuses for the rest, top two a class above.

Race 6: Legacy in South Australia and Broken Hill Handicap 1200m

They went hard here. Redentes Edge (1^st) had the perfect run just off the speed and has got the job done, had favours. Street Embrace (2^nd) led and gave a good kick to just be grabbed late, going very well. Hussy’s Glow (3^rd) ran on well, had her chance but a nice return.

Race 7: Zonte’s Z Force Handicap 1200m

Sudden Wealth (1^st) sat back at the rear and has rounded them up in the straight, great return and can keep winning. Vivaldi’s Quest (2^nd) has also ran on well from towards the rear, nice effort. Federosa (3^rd) battled on well enough. Trogir (6^th), Spalding Cove (7^th) and Barood (8^th) all copped interference late in the race and can all be forgiven.

Race 8: Consolidated Plant & Quarries Handicap 1100m

Military Forces (1^st) sat back at the rear and has ran on powerfully to win well, looks a nice type and the stable is having a good little run. Don’t Cry Wolf (2^nd) has also ran on well from the rear. Tempting Faith (3^rd) has gone well, was the only on pacer to be amongst the finish.

Race 9: Happy Birthday Julie G Handicap 1600m

They looked to go hard here. Burrum’s Buzz (1^st) had the perfect run midfield and has been too strong late, nice effort but had many favours. Cosmic Charm (2^nd) ran on well but looked to have the tempo to suit. Really not much to say about the rest.
