1st On The Straight, trained by Mb Stables
I guess i shouldve expected nothing less at HRP. A horse that has been exclusively campaigned in sprints winning 6 from 9, a horse that has won at low and high tracks picking off prizes against lesser opposition coming out and winning a route on an off track. Clearly this is a good horse much better than the races she has been winning to date and going by the speed figures she is still improving. Sitting in the trail today she picked them up nicely winning a shade comfortably in the end. She looks like another string in the ever increasing Mb Stables bow.

2nd Prundent Diademe, trained by Drabfantasy
Ran a close stalk and hit the front just after halfway, she looked like she would go on and win but just ran out of steam at the end. I think this trip and the way she races tested her stamina just too much.

3rd Love Me Two Times, trained by Night Mare Racing
Never far off them she ran another good race whacking away in the end but not finishing too far off them. One of these statebred black types should come her way one day.

4th Stellar, trained by M.b.o Racing Stable
Stayed on at the end but never got in a blow as the sprinters had too much stamina for this confirmed router. I am not sure where this run puts her in the scheme of things but she may be looking at a rest after this lack lustre run.
