“Chama impresses at first start over 601m”

Potential star stayer Chama recovered from his usual slow start to win tonight’s opening event, the Free Entry TABtouch Park City Class Novice over 601m. The son of Fernando Bale turns two this month and has flown home over 520m to chalk up 2 wins and 2 minor placings from his first 4 starts. From box one tonight he was slowly away and fifth on settling before weaving between runners and hitting the lead at the 200m mark. The 32kg white and fawn dog then exploded clear to win by 6.50 lengths in 34.94. Money Keeping ran second and three lengths away third was Shadow Reaper. Chama’s mother Refined was a very fast chaser who won 11 of 21 and was also a full sister to some elite chasers like Deadly Class (19 wins), Deadly Rookie (17 wins), Madigan (14 wins) and Starling (10 wins). The name Chama translates to “Let’s Go” in Portugese.

HOUNDS TO FOLLOW :

Race 2 Number 8 ANOTHER JAMES : Stuck on well to run a gutsy second behind the Oaks winner Pound Keeping.

Race 5 Number 3 JUST A BINDI : Railed to victory from box three and beat a handy lineup by six lengths.
