Race 3

Prize Money: $256,776

AINTMYFIRSTRO DEO (2) made it three wins from as many career starts when he scored by 1.5 metres at the latest appearance over 1609m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. VELVET DITCH (1) failed to live up to expectations when second as clear public elect last start at this track over 1609m, finishing 1.5 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. JERZY GEORGE (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 0.6 metres at this track over 1609m. WE WANT EAZY (3) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 1609m.
