Saturday's card was a decent graded card, my kind
of card.
Dogtor On Call led up in he S3, but was outpaced by both
Baran Cocomo and
Mariska from the first bend.
Mariska took over on the run to the 5ht bend, but had a dwell
up, before just pulling out enough on the run in to get back up.
Dogtor On Call plugged on for second edging out
Witches Petal.
Ballymac Barton made all to land the P7 for his first win on his
7th attempt.
Kinda Flashy rode a bmp on the run to the 1st bend, before
holding every chance. He went down by a short head. He's proving
costly to follow, as this was his 4th second from 5 starts. His
chance should come soon.
Smooth Cantona just about led up in the A6, but was quickly
swept aside by
Lagile Tomo.
Lagile Tomo went on to score, but understandably faded near the
line, as he was returning from a 98 day break.
Lagile Tomo showed good pace here and should be in for another
win or two soon. He previously contested A3s.
Smooth Cantona kept on for second.
Blackmagic Rose showed decent early pace and made all to land
the A5. She contested at A2 grade before seasonal rest, so is
another who should win a race or two in the coming weeks.
Hillcross Silk ran a decent race in second and lost out by half
a length.
Pretty Mentor set the early pace in the S1, but was headed at
the 4th bend and faded from the 5th bend.
Eye Onthe Power ran on and took over at the 4th bend, but was
run out of it late on by
Genesis Sister.
Turar Abit landed the A4, though not in the manner I expected.
Winfield Ranger broke well and stole a march on the field early.
Turar Abit broke averagely and was not fluent rounding the first
2 turns. He stayed on well though, and led on the run in.
Winfield Ranger should do well if continuing to break in this
fashion.
Irate Kate led them round in the M2. She failed to see out the
trip and faded from the 7th bend.
Born For Glory took over at the 7th bend, but faded on the run
in.
Luciesilvas stayed on and led on the run in.
Lazy Lob stayed on for second.
Directors Trick started fast and led up in the A3.
Roswell Zodiac drove the bend well and turned second.
Podges Dilemma started poorly, but unleashed a decent turn of
foot down the back straight and took over on the run in. He's a nice
pup and now is 4 wins from 10.
Julies Protege put is a decent run and made all to land the S1.
Quickly into her stride, she had it won early, but she was not
fluent at the 5th bend though and allowed
Droopys Majella to reduce the margin to a length.
Grannie Annie started well in the A2 and looked to have the race
by the scruff of the neck. However,
Snappy Trapper flew down the back straight and took over from
the 3rd bend. She ran out a decent winner.
Grannie Annie kept on for second.
Brigadoon put in an excellent run to land the A1. He started
well and made all. He's not been the most reliable previously, and
I'm not convinced yet.
Reverse Pace followed him home, but was one pace on the run in.
Clonbrin Mai made all to land the 5 runner S2 finale.
Aranock Sand plodded on for second in a weak race.
