Balaklava Race 7-5 MISSUSMOY unplaced

Given a Nice run by Clair, running 4th however never seemed to be comfortable,

as if it was jarring up on the firm track. Straightened up near the leaders and never stretched out. 

Balaklava Race 8-6 AMEN'S SEA UNPLACED

Not the best away settled back in 2nd last pace and started going forward at the 700m mark, being the widest runner on the turn. Clair wasn't her vigorous self and never beat a runner home. 

Sunshine Coast Race 7-8 KIDS SHOW 3rd $2.00

Got back to 2nd last in slow run race saved ground on the fence, and got clear

 at the 200m mark. However the bird had flown, poorly Judged ride. 

Sunshine Coast Race 8-1 SATIN BIRD unplaced

Jason obviously had a bad day at the office, 3 wide no cover running midfield, pushed wide on the  turn however never ridden out with any vigor. It will be interesting to see the stewards report.

Doomben Race 2-1 CAT D'ANTIBES 3rd $1.40

Jumped well running 5th one off the fence with run of the race, got out in a tight squeeze and seemed to be hesitant to go forward, racing with his head on the side, had every chance not good enough. 

Doomben Race 3-1 MITANNI 3rd $1.70

Ridden hard out of the gates and fired up to lead, and going way to hard in front, Brad try-ed to give  him a breather mid-race and the early effort told. Stopped the last 100m to run 3rd. 

Flemington Race 2-1 GOLD IN DUBAI unplaced

Lead in a moderate speed and seemed to be traveling well on the turn, however as soon as Micheal let  his head go he floundered, probably didn't handle the wet track. 

Flemington Race 5-6 IN THE SHADOWS (Roughie) 5th

In the leading division most of the way, under pressure 350 m from home, and did well to stick on for 5th. 

Rosehill Race 5-2 AL BE NIMBLE 1st $2.80-$1.80

Got back near last in solid ran race, The Jock took of early, and was pushed the widest on the turn getting a bump, however knuckled down over the last 200 m for a strong win. 

Gold Coast 5-1 MODERN GLAMOUR 1st $1.90- $1.20

Jumped well and looked like being handy early, when he got squeezed out the back on the first turn, the leaders when very fast in font and he caught them easy on the turn , he was wanting to hang in and got on the heels of the leaders, never looked like winning but Chris's strong ridding got him home.
