Last race watch list horses running tonight:
Race 3 Zero Hedge (5-1) After showing speed while breaking from the 10 post in his last he got a much better draw here with the 2 gate, unfortunately he was a half-step slow and when Diamond Key who broke from the rail came out slightly at the start it made Moreira to take up, then afterwards he clipped heals with Very Rich Man. Then in the short turn he started to throw his head up fighting Moreira for the bit, at the top of the stretch after racing mid-pack on the rail, Moreira moved him off of it for running room but it closed up quickly forcing him back towards the rail. He then found himself in all kinds of heavy traffic for the rest of the trip. The track handicappers took two rating points away from him so now he will be racing at a rating of 60 which will allow him to drop back down into Class 4 but race at the high weight of 133 which he has won at before.

Race 4 Dream Warriors (5-2) Hasn't shown much in his four races with his last being his best running 5th 2 3/4 lengths behind Smart Patch after starting awkward. Again he started slowly breaking a length behind the field, for the first half of the race he was two wide and at the rear of the herd, but then Chad decided to put him into the race and moved him out and asked him for a run. When Purton on the favourite Play Wise saw this, he forced Schofield out to the four path in the turn, and even with all that going on he found himself in front by a half a length with 200 to go. He just couldn't hold off the late charging High Rev and winner The Judge at the wire going down by a neck.

Race 7 Frustrated (7-1) Went off as the 2-1 favourite for trainer Frankie Lor and 5 pound bug-boy Wong who have been on fire of late and especially with this runner. At the break he took a slight stumble but nothing that was too significant, he then raced in the second flight behind two duelers but when Purton on Dream Come True decided to take back out of the fight heading into the turn it put Frustrated in a bad pinch all covered up. Entering the stretch he started looking to the outside for running room but Teetan on Hong Kong Bet herded him back inside, then right before he hit a hole it closed up when Dream Come True and Mr Right began to tire and drifted towards each other forcing the apprentice check up losing all his momentum while the longshot winner Forza Angel was making his winning move, he was wrapped up afterwards and galloped out to the wire.
