RACE 1 NO.3 SALSA MAN
SALSA MAN has looked a different horse at his past three starts as he has stepped up in distance. At his third career start he was able to run down Skyray who has gone on to win a couple of races and then turned in two very good efforts at Canterbury and Warwick Farm. This looks a nice race especially if he can lob in a nice spot just behind a leader or two he will get his chance to go bang without giving too big a lead.
RACE 2 NO.6 SONG AND PRAYER
Today is the day punters or at least I am hoping it is for SONG AND A PRAYER to cast aside her maiden tag and kick start he career. First up this time around she was very good at Warwick Farm over six furlongs before the race just didn’t go to plan at Kembla second up when it was hard to come from the back. A nice three week freshen up for today and barrier one she gets her chance to get a win on the board.
