Race 11

Prize Money: $34,215

FLAGMAN (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1609m at this track, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance based on that recent effort. DRINK UP DRINK UP (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Leading hope based on recent form. NIKO MAN (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1609m at this track last time out. BIG CHRISTIAN (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.
