Race 5

(8) Didn’t Miss Many
IMPENDING WAR worked well through the grades in his debut campaign when producing 2x wins in a row before a 4th places finish in a stronger race next. He resumes for a 3YO campaign here today and recent trials have suggested he should get here in good order and with improvement, looks capable of rising through his grades.
Suggested Bet – (6) Impending War (Win)
Race 8
(2) No Fooling
(10) Lavandula
(12) Furosshi
(3) Big Watch
Giving NO FOOLING another chance here today on what is expected to be a dryer track. He has been well supported in two runs this prep but both of those have come at the night meetings at Pakenham on a track that has been wet and sticky, conditions he appears to not appreciate. A dry track here will suit, so he is capable of improvement and peaking in fitness now.
Suggested Bet – (2) No Fooling (Win)
