Balnarring Race 1

Rst Trophy (1)

Prize Money: $5,000

MISS NORDEECIA (3) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 17 lengths from the winner in ninth over 2550m at Pakenham. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. SHEER GRUNT (6) was safely held when third last time out over 2008m at Woolamai, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Woolamai at the previous outing. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ENOUGH WAR (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when sixth over 1600m at Yea eight days ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. UP TO ME (2) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a long neck into second over 2008m at Woolamai. Likely improver with strong prospects.
