Today: If you saw the win of 1-2 Lucky Secret at his first start then you'd want to back up today. First away from the middle of the line over 1000m at MV in a field of 11, he was quickly in front and travelling well. Brereton gave him a bit more rein before the corner and he skipped three in front at which point Brereton basically sat up on the horse, letting him coast to the line four lengths clear in fast time. Was one of those performances that announces the arrival of a top class horse. 2-2 Rossi Bessi was a POOMA and got caught in the last hop at her last run on a day where that was the norm for the POOMAs. She'll bounce to the lead again and be stronger this time around however I won't want to back her at less than $3. 7-7 Straddle is very well placed in the last leg of the quaddie after his narrow defeat last time at Sandown. Up at Doomben 8-3 Native Wolf caught the eye when winning first up at Coffs Harbour. He got well back from his inside draw, came to the outside, ran around like a duck but arrived in time to get the big end of the cheque. He's drawn wide but will get back anyway and he looks like a good chance in an open race.

Yesterday: No POOMAs yesterday and nothing worth noting.
