Last race watch list horses running tonight:
Race 7 Sparkling Dragon (10-1) His first race after a 2 month freshening when he ran third beaten a neck to Fat Turtle at Happy Valley. The betting public bet him down as the 4-1 second choice, after breaking well from the gate he was placed mid-pack by van Niekerk after getting thru the short turn on the backside. Just after the short turn he had to grab his mouth for just second, in the turn he raced two wide until they entered the stretch when van Niekerk moved him out to the five path but was blocked with no running room available for just a moment, then was a little hesitant to split Most Beautiful and Winning Supreme mid-stretch and soon afterwards was outrun to the wire by Fearless Fire and Smart Leader on his outside. Should improve off the effort next time out.
