Saturday, March 9
PHANNYS MATTER (W4-6) trotter went to the lead, yielded and was shuffled, slipped off the rail the final turn, weaved and wiggled through traffic and got up for 3rd at over 30-1.
STRETCH THE LINE (GAME/CLAIMS) was third over and bothered by the breaker, took back, resettled and finished with good pace.
AFLAME HANOVER (NW95000) was second over, rallied wide the final turn and closed with good pace to be second best in latest.
SPRINGSTEEN (NW6400) veteran proved he was the boss in nifty wire to wire score last time around the oval.
REGAL ESCAPE (GAME/CLAIMS) was in traffic the final turn at over 30-1, had far to come but finished with good pace once free.

Tuesday, March 12

BEACH TOWN BOY (NW4400) tucked early, pulled to the third panel, brushed to the lead and left the field far back.
