Thursday, May 17

UNDRAFTED sat to the rear 5th over, had pace in the lane, got caught behind a wall, angled out and set down, hit stride late and was moving best of all.

WHEN YOU DANCE (NW2) took the lead, yielded, sat pocket and was second best on the board and on the track.

DEEPFAVE HANOVER (CLMHCP15/18000) was parked with cover, got backed up and forced wide when cover collapsed, closed gamely but the well-bet winner had gotten away.

JOEY BATS (NW2) was a handy much the best wire to wire winner in last.

KATINSS S BG (NW2FM) yielded twice and was second best to odds-on winner.

ARTISTIC MADISON (PRF/FM) got shuffled badly along the way, rallied strongly through traffic in good try at 50-1 and can get it done with better trip.

STIRLING BOUDICA (CLMHCP12/15000) was a convining wire to wire winner and got claimed. Should be hard to beat in next.

SHEZAREALDEAL (NW15000FM) sat to the rear, came wide into the lane and finished best of all but had far to come,

SODWANA BAY (CLMHCP12/15000FM) took a tuck, rushed up uncovered, challenged and was a game 2nd while getting outkicked by the pocket-sitting winner.

COOL ROCK (NW6000) beaten favorite got caught behind a fading uncovered horse and was forced to go wide a long way, finished well but had far to come.

IMSPORTY (NW12200) clicked off the claim, rolled home to win going away from second over and can take another.

TALBOT ROMEO (NW3) brushed to the lead, yielded, sat pocket but was second best. Beaten favorite can turn in a winning effort in quick order.

O NARUTAC PERFETTO (NW16000) trotter roared home from far back in last to nail the win and would be no surprise if he wins again.
