SENTRACK SUPPORTS THE NJT TROPHY
Results
PESTO (5) won this race last year. He has gone without another win in 10 runs since but the last three have been in better company than this and he looks a threat with his sights lowered. Inside draw can see him get a cheap run within striking distance. DESIGNS (9) ran the race of her life in Adelaide last time. That was a strong test and the winner held up well here last week. She is in the mix off that. CABOCHE (4) was not up to it in the Mornington Cup but this is a better option. Bendigo win was sound with MIMI'S AWARD (10) behind him there. She has improved since and she hit her straps in similar races here 12 months back. UNION GAP (11) is winning and improving for the top yard. Must be respected.
