Saturday, October 10
LOUS SWEETREVENGE (CLMKHCP20/25000) set the pace and held gamest in stretch battle. Got claimed and can win on the lead or off the pace.
PRETTY LOU (CLM25000/3-5YO) was parked the mile, challenged all the way, had aim but tired. A little luck can bring big rewards in next.
BETTORS DESIRE (NW5500) challenged, took the lead and rolled home much the best.
LIBERTY WILDCARD (NW5500) was out 4th over and closed well to earn a look in next.
STAG PARTY (NW15500) sat three-holed at 12-1, improved to the pocket headstretch, rallied well but was second best to the drop and pop front-stepping winning favorite.
CRANBOURNE N (NW11500) was second over the final turn but was second best to snap 3-race win streak. Would be no surprise to get back to the winners circle in next.

ALWAYS BE CITY (CLMHCP75/10000M) was parked the mile in dead-game win and got claimed.
OUR TRIPLE MAJOR A (CLMHCP75/10000M) beaten favorite was second over to the top one and a neck short. Got claimed and will be in the hunt.
ABSOLUTE POWER (NW8500M) yielded, got shuffled to the 3-hole, challenged the favorite and was a game 2nd best.
HILL OF A WISH (NW2700) blew by the field with strong uncovered move and should be in line for another.
PIPPA HILL (NW1) went down the road and drew away. Has 2 wins and a placing in 3 lifetime starts and last one looked like she can and will win another.

TOLENTINE (NW3) tucked early, was out second over the final turn, rallied well to be second best to well-bet second choice.
CHALOOCH (SIMPSON) challenged the well-bet second choice a long way in speediest of the 3 divisions and was gamest in impressive win at 9-1.
HOOK N REEL (SIMPSON) yielded, retook, dug in the through the stretch to ward off the uncovered challenge of the second favorite and pocket sitting favorite in his division.
ALWAYS ROCKIN (CLM125000) yielded, retook and was a handy winner. Got claimed and will be tough.
RICO TUBBS (CLM12500) pulled third over the final quarter, closed well to be second best in good effort and should not be overlooked.
