RACE EIGHT
PEGGY STARDUST (2) speared out from gate 3 last start to find the front prior to releasing and taking the trail on PERFECT FEELING. With the space to take the closing shot, she couldn’t reel in the winner CHUMP CHOP, finishing 4m in arrears. The 2040m is a nagging query, but that same issue will face a few of these and she can plug it out to the line.
PERFECT FEELING (1) made an error soon after finding the front last start and looked to have lost his chance. Once re-setting he was sent on a forward mission, handed the lead back and then was fighting to the wire, only 4m from the winner. Gripping on in the stretch, can he out-last them?
CARIBBEAN ROCKET (5) was eased to the pegs for the short-cuts last start when chasing home behind BOMBADIER JUJON. The gate does him no favours, but settling close enough without using early petrol, he can look to offer in the closing stages.
MANOFLISA (3) wasn’t suited in the one lap sizzle of a Trot Rods heat last start, with that following a sound effort over the 1780m. With even luck in transit, he can make a play for some minor money.
