Buchan Race 5

Rst Trophy (1)

Prize Money: $5,000

DESERT BOOTS (1) scored at Balnarring last time out with a nose to spare over today's journey. Has a good record at this trip with two wins and two minor placings. In form and should go well again. FLOWER GALLERY (4) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1000m at Healesville, finishing second and beaten a nose. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BONSAFOX (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Yea over 1300m, beaten a long neck. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with five placings from eight starts. Strong claims on best figures. MARCO SPADA (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 24 when beaten 6 lengths into sixth at Yea over 1300m. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
