Unfortunately, not much value around on Saturday, red.

Race 1 - Laetare defied a weight turnaround to defeat Outfitter for the second time – both runs good.

Race 2 – As you predicted red, not much early speed, leaving Toy Prince to sit just off the pace, taking the lead coming around the turn. Nice win at nice overs (6/1). Both Main Stage & Jugahtrice running on but giving the winner too big a start.

Race 3 – Good early speed set it up for the placegetters. Thought the run of Sarah’s Spirit not bad. Only having 2nd start, used up a bit early to get to the lead from a wide barrier, fought on pretty well.

Race 4 – Metal As Anything ran on well to win easily, Regal Raider did find the 1400m too far - finished at the tail. Was also well under true odds.

Race 5 – Inclusion of Island Light & Ebony Magic (speed on) did enhance the chances of the eventual placegetters. Ebony Magic was well under true odds. Fred Who should have won, but for hanging out briefly during his final run. Went down by a nose.

Race 6 – Metal Maiden continues to improve. Grinding run by Twilight Spy. Very good run by both Miss Torpago & Hide The Halo. Forget National Silk’s run, in trouble early (again), after missing the start!
Lulugui racing well below best at the moment.

Race 7 – Very impressed with Coordinate’s run. Was one of my better bets on the card. Ran on strongly to win easily. Very versatile, lead all the way previous start to win over the same course & distance. Fortune Streak was big unders, and raced accordingly. Jock lost the irons on Polish Pleasure.

Race 8 – As predicted red, Family Dreams was perfectly placed. Won well but no fancy odds. Good to see Zabaset showing some old form. Good run by the 3yo Femme. Cougar Roar still to find better form, racing lengths below best at last two starts, albeit after a break of some 12 months. Blinkers on Big Marcus - looks like it backfired, missing the start didn't help.
