VRC-CRV WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES FINAL
Results
WINDSTORM (7) hit the line well here last start when having his first run at a mile, beaten a long neck. Better for that and is improving under the new stable's care. He's a talented horse who can take this out. MUNHAMEK (1) is flying, winning the Swan Hill Cup two back and proving too strong again here last time. Gets in similarly at the weights and will be very hard to hold out. KING MAGNUS (3) was good here in the main lead up, beaten half a length by Munhamek. Doesn't need to improve much to be taking this out. POUNDING (4) looks better suited dropping back to 1600m. He's always a good chance around this level. GREEN FLY (10) will be hard to hold out.
