Yesterday

1-11. Winner in R3 [4.20]. Gimmicks: R3 ... ABx x 11.80; R4 ...BDAC x 25.20 t 57.50 s 112.00; R5 ... Bc-Cd-x "A" scr x 16.60.

Oooofff - gotta face the music, it's been a tough meet - and our typical last week kick hasn't materialized. BUT - here's the kind of meet it's been - another day where we were dry with winners on top, meanwhile, our second-pick "B" selections won six!

12362 attended - yet another nice day. Sunny, warm, slightly humid.

Tummel.
Maui Mark.

FOURTH RACE
Missy Bay...Seems capable of firing big in first try.

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
