On face value the two sandgropers looked disappointing, interesting to see what happens next in their quest for the upcoming 2 miler!

PR7 10-5-1-2-7-3

I've not written off Black Tom. The cup is his target and he will be all the better for todays run as you would expect.

PR8 1-10-2-4-6-7-3-11

I'm with you suds..also not written off Master Minx

It seem Master Minx got trapped a bit wide and could never get into the race. Black Tom would of benefited with that run. I look for an improve effort next start.

Rodeo Man who was our one and only grey at Esperance yesterday ran 2nd.

Thanks Ade. Sounds like both will do better next time around.

Normally don't tip in maidens but (8) WHINNEN in the 4th today does look the likely winner. 3 starts to-date, placed in all, and not beaten far. Only worry perhaps, the wide barrier.
