Friday, October 19

LONDON SEELSTER (NW6000) slipped out in the final turn and closed well but the winner had gotten away. Beaten favorite can atone in quick order.

SKYFUL OF LIGHTERS (NW6000) was used to the lead, yielded, retook, met pressure, yielded and tired. A better trip could be all it takes.

GINGER TREE MARTY (NW6000) came wide with strong finish at 22-1 but had too far to come.

FIVE CARD DRAW N (CLMHCP125/15000) had cover the final turn, rallied strongly and just missed.

PURE COUNTRY (BCMARESPACE) closed well rallying off poor cover and would be no surprise.

Sunday, October 21

ALWAYS B MAGIC (NW6200) followed wide, stacked wider in the final turn, rallied and had aim at 2nd place but shortened stride. A better trip will work wonders.

TOPVILLE OLYMPIAN (W4-6) wired the field drawing away the last quarter and should be in line for another.
