SANTA ANA LANE SPRINT SERIES FINAL
Results
PRESS DOWN (7) looks very hard to beat again. He was dominant at Murray Bridge two back and again far too good when leading throughout in the Golden Topaz at Swan Hill. He gets in on the minimum again here and rates highly. WHO DARES (4) was just fair when dropping back to 1100m here last time but did win the Listed Straight Six prior and back out to 1200m will suit much better. VELOCE CARRO (11) won two in a row to start this campaign before a close up finish behind Crosshaven last time. Back up to 1200m will pose no issue and he draws to get to the outside. SEMILLION (5) is racing well, beating a handy field at Newcastle two back and good again at Randwick last time. In the mix. CROSSHAVEN (3) won his first race in a long time last start and must be a chance again.
