Thursday, April 26
COWBOYS DONT CRY (CLM15000) was buried on the rail, tipped heading home, found room between horses and scooted home fastest of all to miss a head.
SOUTHWIND MASIMO (NW3000) was parked to the top, rolled along and proved much the best.
JORDAN BLUE CHIP (NW2) tucked to the quarter, pulled to the half, raced strong uncovered, took a lead into the lane but nailed in the last steps. Beaten favorite should atone in quick order.
BO MACH (NW1) was buried to the lane, angled out, set down and finished fast in nail second.
