Race 3

Prize Money: $795

KILLACOLLA MIKE (1) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, winding up to place two back then finishing on strongly last time when second (30.18) in an A3 at this track. Solid record here winning four races. One of the leading chances. RIOJA MINSTREL (6) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (29.76) at this track in an A4 over 500m. Can measure up again. BLUEISTHECOLOR (2) recorded a 6 length third in an A3 last time 30.24 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. JESSE GEE JAMES (4) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A3 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.
