AFTER THE LAST

THE WIN

TOOWOOMBA filly ROSENDAHL RED showed plenty of ticker to return to the winner’s list for trainer Matt Kropp with a gritty performance with Rebecca Goldsbury aboard in the Class 2 Handicap. The race saw the scratching of $1.85 favourite Umawinner after she was unable to be loaded into the barriers.

THE RIDER

NOZI TOMIZAWA finished with four victories for the day when he arrived aboard Mishani Wrangler, Ruby Red Slippers and Vibrato after also scoring on Mishani Spirit. 3kg apprentice MADELEINE WISHART scored her first Clifford Park victory when she teamed with Currie to get Viserion home in the Three-YearOld Maiden Handicap.

FROM THE STAND

Race 1: With the query at the distance, Karaharaga was hard to lay and the bookies were $2.6 with no takers. There was strong money for Your Option at $13. Winner Mishani Wrangler was $2.50 and only small bets were taken.

Race 2: A good betting race with the bookies getting to lay most of runners. Mr Markou was easy to lay at $1.80 and there was one phone bet of $1200 at $1.80. There was specking for Mr Favulous at $31. Winner Coolmunda saw good money at $6 and it was a break square result for the bookies. Race 3: Cambooya Rock was specked at $21 and there was small money for Cliveden at $9. The favourite Pieridae was easy to lay at $1.70 and there was one cash bet of $3000 at $1.70 and smaller bets at $1.60. Winner Love And Lies was first up and no real takers. Race 4: Fat Max was specked at $21 and was also backed on the QOP. Miyako Odori had supporters on track and was backed from $13 into $10 and could have been a nasty result for the bookies. The favourite Vandaluscious was hard to lay and the bookies were $2 all through the betting with no real takers. The winner Viserion drifter from $4.40 to $5 and paid well on the home tote.

Race 5: There was good money for Talapus at $21 and specking for All One Class at $13. Umawinner saw good money at 2.10. The winner and favourite Rosendahl Red was a drifter on the QOP and saw little money at $2.30. With the late scratching of Umawinner the totes were trimmed and paid well under at $1.30.

Race 6: Specking for Jondy Qualo at $26 would have been a wipe out for the bookies. I Know Yves was backed at $21. Punters then came for the favourite Ruby Red Slippers with the price going from $2.60 into start at $2.45. There was one phone bet of $1500 at $2.50.

Race 7: A fair betting race to finish off. There was good money on Adsum off track on the QOP from $4.20 into $3.50. The favourite and winner Vibrato then drifted from $1.60 to start $1.70. The Currie Army had small bets at $1.70 and they wish they had doubled up; at the home turn as Vibrato came home for an easy win.

The bookies went home small winners.
