Westport Race 3

Donaldson Farms Pace

Prize Money: $10,909

INTERRORGATOR (7) made a nice return at his latest appearance a couple of days ago, finishing 0.8 metres away in second over 2000m at this track. He meets a similar field and can go one better. FRANCO ELVIS (3) finished seventh last start over 2600m at this track after a good third at Geraldine the run prior. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar lineup and he is capable of a top 3 finish. SWIMMING POOLE (10) pulled up last start over 2000m at this track a couple of days ago. This is a nice assignment and a forward showing is anticipated. IDEAL CONQUEROR (2) finished a fair sixth over 2000m at this track recently at his first race start. Strips fitter and can improve.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind The Beach House at this track over 2600m in a 3yo+ on December 26 at $3.80. Performed better the start before with a good run when 3rd (Fr9) over 1950m at Geraldine beaten 12 m by General Rebeck (2:30.60) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $2.50. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Backing up quickly after pulled up at this track on December 26 over 2000m. The run before 12th (Fr8) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway beaten 22 m by Catchafire (2:06.00) in 2yo on November 14 at $140.90. Nicely placed to find a bit of form.
