Comments: 2/3 yesterday returning $4.20 with the only one getting beaten being from my favourite system. He didn't have much luck, though. An unusual occurence today with a system having two picks in the same race. From memory, the last time that happened they finished 2nd and nowhere. Rockhampton 6-1 Bonza Crop won well first up last time in before running OK in a Listed race at Eagle Farm. He looks the testing material. 6-3 Carry On Doctor ran in a couple of Open 2YO races before having a break and winning at the Sunshine Coast in good style. You'd have to think that the topweight is the testing material. Port Lincoln 8-5 La Peru took a long time to break her duck but had been in good form at this track since moving from NSW. She gets in very well at the weights and from gate 3 should be right in the finish.

I'll be keeping an eye on a couple that are in my black book at Ballarat. 7-9 Magonius was backed as if unbeatable first up and duly won before disappointing last time when a drifting favourite. 8-2 Lazer Sharp showed good form last time in and defied his breeding by performing better once he stepped up in trip. He's first up at 1500m today and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him run a race at good odds.
