Australia
AJC
12:25pm Race 1 Spring Carnival Package on Sale 2YO H., A$70000 1400m
Mortarman (AUS) 2007 (G. by Mossman-Xaarbarella) - The naming tradition continues for this home bred for Geoff and Mary Grimish. He showed obviously ability at his first start coming from last to fly home for 4th. Will get better with time and should find it hard to make up the ground considering track conditions. Save your $ for his next preparation. Good luck to his breeder/owners Geoff and Mary Grimish.

VRC
2:26pm Race 5 Slickpix Silver Bowl Final H., A$100000 1600m
Rising Shadow (AUS) 2006 (G. by Dane Shadow-Kas Nediym) - Sold for $32500 at Magic Millions Perth 2008. Only missed a place once in 6 starts and has obvious potential if he can work out what racing is all about. Heaps of speed on, so barrier 11 may not be a disaster. Can win at a price. Good luck to his breeders Geoff and Mary Grimish.

BRC
12:50pm Race 2 Hannanprint P., A$45000 1200m
Im Ruthless (AUS) 2005 (G. by Redoutes Choice-Bimbo Limbo) - If you can catch him on a good day you are better than me. He hates Doomben so forgive his last start. He will win a decent race mark my words. Stathy on, barrier 4, if you get each way odds, have some. Good luck to his breeder Terry Dickson and owners Kitchwin, Gino and friends.
3:46pm Race 7 Queensland Cup L, A$150000 3200m
Benaura Girl (AUS) 2006 (F. by More Than Ready-Benaura Lass) - Sold for $200k at Magic Millions 2008. Won her last start and the 3200 mtrs might just do nicely for the THREE YEAR OLD! Up in class here. I know her breeder G Brown will be backing her, he can get on with me! Good luck breeder G Brown.

Newcastle JC
4:20pm Race 8 Club Macquarie H., A$14000 1200m
Race the Shadow (AUS) 2006 (G. by Dane Shadow-Ta Ta) - This beautiful looking Dane Shadow colt sold for $38000 before Dane Shadow had runners. He won two starts back, convincingly, before being caught wide at Randwick where beaten by 2.4 lengths. If it wasnt for the barrier you would be all over him! Good luck to his breeders Kitchwin.

1:30pm Race 2 JV Brennan Maiden P., A$12000 1200m
