Last race watch list horses running tonight:
Race 4 Happy Warrior (8-5) Was coming off a front running win while the favourite was encountering trouble, and was getting the aid of a front running bias that night at Happy Valley. In here he was unlucky at the draw getting the 12 post, and due to that Purton decided to take him back heading into the first turn, but was still unable to get over and went into 3 wide. On the backside Zac grew impatient and moved him to the front and was able to get clear heading into the final turn, looked a winner halfway thru the stretch but was engaged at the 100 metres mark and had to fight to the wire with the eventual winner Rulethroost.

Race 7 Waldorf (9-5) Drew the 2 post with a very slow starter under him in Cheeky Bee, and as figured broke well and was able to get to the rail without any effort. Settled mid-pack heading into the back stretch while chasing Dream Come True who eventually tired in the stretch, when he did enter the stretch the 7 pound bugboy tried to get him to get thru on the rail but was blocked by Special Stars and the tiring front runner. He rebroke and was finishing well when room became available but just missed against a $176 winner High Five, and he galloped out well afterwards.
