Comments: Gee, our POOMA yesterday was weak. Never looked likely so let's hope today's collection show more heart. In the Wangoom, Bond Street ran a shocker. I expected a lot better.

Warrnambool 5-7 Dance Maiden is a horse I've actually had an OK opinion of for a little while and it surprised me that she took so long to win a race. She won her Maiden at Cranbourne two starts back and then really smashed a Restricted field at that track under 58kg at her next start. She seems pretty well placed here and obviously handles the wet so I'm looking for a good showing. Rockhampton 4-3 Revolva has a consistent record and looks like a fair chance in this race but I wouldn't be taking less than $4 about a horse that's 1/15 and that seems an unlikely price to get. Rockhampton 5-6 Jewel Speed last won a race 359 days ago and has been unlucky not to score again. She looks like she might have the main chances covered that have been racing in the area but Drop Of Hennesy has been running well in SE QLD and might be too good. Rockhampton 7-1 Danzamonkey has always shown ability but had only won one of his first eight starts before returning from a spell and easily taking out the two races he's run in. He's got to lump 59kg and come from the extreme outside gate here but that might just add to his price.
