RACE THREE
RINGOS A STAR (2) is a Mr Feelgood gelding on debut for Grant Dixon out of the good producing mare Rhapsody In Red. Ranking as a full brother to RED CHARMER he has been to the trials twice to prepare, the 1st of those against the older horses. With the good gate, he can beat the drums 1st up.
LETS TORQUE A DEAL (3) started a red figure fav here last week and after finding the position behind the leader struck trouble at the 300m, losing valuable ground that proved to be the difference. Re-setting to be 3m in arrears, she has been runner-up her past 3 in succession and is the threat.
ITZ MAJOR RICH (8) is the query runner, lining up for his 1st start yet has not been seen at the trials in Aus. Qualifying in NZ prior to arriving, he stays under a bit watch here.
HAPPY PUBLICANS (6) will take further benefit from his latest appearance when 2nd up from a spell. Grinding it out last start when 6m from NOT THE KINGSWOOD, he has podium claims in this.
