Vulnerable favourite on the card:
Race 3 Elusive State (2-1) Won for fun to carry the streak to three in a row all the while running against a speed favouring track that night, but did beat his next rival who had ran into serious trouble (#1 in here Hang’s Decision) and now is picking up an extra 14 pounds and draws the 12 gate with the short run to the first turn, playing the run ends here.

Last race watch list horses running tonight:
Race 5 Pikachu (11-1) Went off at huge odds of 63-1 and drew a nice runner in Glorious Forever who has since come back and finished second in a Grade III race. Was pinched back at the start losing a length to the field, soon recovered and settled a couple lengths off the favourite winner down the backside, made a slight run at him but never was able to head him. Finished a couple lengths in front of the third place runner General Sherman, galloped out past the wire in hand.

Race 6 Singapore Sling (5-1) Drew a tough field with the highest handicap on the track Beauty Generation in it for his first out in almost six months. He broke well and Schofield placed him in his usual running position mid-pack stalking the heavy favourite Beauty Generation who was in an early duel with the front running type Time Warp (who has since come back and won his next out). After racing two wide in the turn Chad was looking for running room but was stuck behind the duelers and now Pakistan Star who started his run, at the 300 metre mark an opening outside Pakistan Star became available and with his quick turn of foot he proceeded to chase the big horse down, he just missed him by less than ½ length at the wire. Draws the rail today with pretty much the same type of field but is losing a large weight allowance he had in that race today, he’s picking up 6 pounds while the chalk is carrying 5 less.

Race 10 Noble Steed (2-1) Settled mid-pack soon after the start while saving ground on the rail, in the stretch he tried to get thru but at the 300 metre mark was forced to be taken up while looking for running room. After that he was blocked and was taken up again with 150 metres to go, finally when room became available he closed on the leaders very well but the wire caught him first. He does eat some money, goes off as the favourite in most of his races and unfortunately doesn’t get up for it, today draws an outside post and gets the services of Moreira for the trip.
