Plenty of activity in this race. Upstart Pride had good support $8. Into $5.50 winning in a tight finish from Rocky King. Lady Jetsetter was well supported from $8 into $4.60 but never made inroads into the first two. Frequendly was also well backed with some punters from $26 into $10.

Rich Affair had some good support from $17 into $10 and starting at $8.50 defying the late challengers of Ringo’s A Rockstar who was well fancied from $4 into $3 and then jumping at $3.20. Alter Call was also well supported but never looked likely.
Race 7 – TRANSPORTER $61.00, won from YOHO, SHOREHAM
Transporter was never a genuine consideration for punters being specked from $91 into $61, but clearly enjoyed the return to softer conditions. Runner up Yoho eased in betting from $10 out to $13. L’Entrecote $4.20 into $3.80, was well backed and ran a fair race but no match for the winner.
Race 8 – MYSTIC OPAL $5.00, won from PASSIONFLOWER, BEATNIKS
Mystic Opal finished off the day to score for punters, where he was solidly in and around the $5 price.
