Most impressive heat winner was Dee Picked ridden by the pontiff. The winner of 2 of 5 starts the 3YO colt easily won his heat in best of day.

Foxaround also put in a good performance to win her trial. She has a great strike rate - Starts: 18 1st: 5 2nd: 2 3rd: 4 4th: 3 - and was not pushed out to run the next best of the day.

Most interesting win of the day was that of Garbo's Storm. Ridden by the pontiff he just pipped handy galloper Top Drive. The former victorian is yet to race in WA and most of his previous runs have been over middle distance.
