A great finish to what looks to have been a winning day for you robbo.

Keep on keeping on :)

Eye Popper does look a very good chance for the Melbourne Cup now shaun, especially on top of the ground (6 from 14 on a good track) although has won at only start in the slow.

I see things are not likely to change much :rolleyes:

2nd LAST !!

Agree, agree, agree!!!

Almost got there robbo! fought on particularly well!! Still,,, nice return for the place!!!

Behn Scenic
 

Great debut by Behn Scenic (Scenic / Aphra Behn) today in the 5th, won with a bit in reserve. Dam Aphra Behn (named after the 17th century playwright and the first English woman to earn a living by writing) had moderate success in the late 90s in Victoria. Started a firm 2ndFav so obviously the win came as no surprise to stable followers.

Geraldton R1
 

11 Halo Song only start not beaten far in maiden at Northam then spelled. Should do ok first-up.
8 Satan's Kiss ran a few nice races back in May. Third start back from a spell today should be hard to beat.

Geraldton R4
 

Two handy mares clashing in this race both lightly raced. Hard to split 1 Haunts and 2 Blessed Sue.
3 Chief O’Hara loves this course / distance and can go well fresh.
5 Mayfair Storm went very well fresh last campaign and may rep value.

Geraldton R5
 

5 Just Take Notice is a city winner and has done ok fresh in past.
1 King of the Jungle is down from Carnarvon not a bad overall strike rate and should do ok.
2 Manet lightly raced and has some ability.
9 Mrs Johnson best over more ground but should sprint well while fresh.

Nice win by Blessed Sue. Haunts did ok as well.

the washup
 

Covertly almost got there. Better for the run.
Classic Chevron a well deserved win.
Just a little bit further and Coalseam would have won instead of running 2nd.
Priceless Matt fought on well for 3rd. Good to see My Thornbird back in winners circle.

Smart ride by young Jessica Hill and smart foresight WesternForce - $17.40 WINNER!!
