Firstly let me state that I am a Desiarnez fan.

Thought after his initial race start 'this could be one out of the box'

But he has been really pushed this time around to win both starts (admittedly they have been very gutsy efforts)

Time will tell but I do hope my initial judgement is proven correct.

Sandgroper, welcome back. I thought last week's winner, Canny Jack, was outstanding. Where did it stack up in your ratings?

Johnnie Roucke
 

On the subject of outstanding efforts Johnnie Roucke could prove to be something special if his win on Saturday is any indication. Only having his 2nd race start he won with plenty in reserve but still ran 57.98 for the 1000m!! He looked very classy!
