“Uncle Tommy continues winning run for the After Party Syndicate”

Promising sprinter Uncle Tommy capitalised on box one again tonight, chalking up his third successive victory over 400m at Mandurah when jumping from the inside trap. His first two wins were clocked in 22.47 and 22.40 and tonight he lowered his PB to 22.25. Noted speedster Notorious Harada flew out of box four but Uncle Tommy surged through on her inside at the first turn before racing away. Uncle Tommy is raced by the After Party Syndicate and is trained out of Casuarina by Steve Withers. He has now won 7 of 9 career starts and looks set to fly through the grades and be in FFA company very soon.

“Prompt Response leads all the way for Lewis Clay”

Prompt Response was solidly backed to win tonight’s Choicechem Country Novice over 300m. He didn’t let his supporters down either, improving at box rise to find an early lead before winning by six lengths. The son of Superior Panama recorded a smart 22.62 and defeated All About Marble and Zen On. He started his career in NSW where he won his maiden over 401m at Richmond back in May. Before tonight he had only managed 3 minor placings from 9 starts in WA mainly due to poor box manners and drifting too far back. He is owned by Adam Brandt and should gain plenty of confidence from tonight’s victory.

HOUNDS TO FOLLOW :

Race 5 Number 2 DANNY HEFFERNAN : Won by a nose after missing the kick.

Race 7 Number 2 SIMPLICITY : Was well supported and charged home to win in a flying 16.93.

“Greek Odyssey overcomes box seven to win Maiden for Michael Rees”

Byford based trainer Michael Rees pulled off a rough result in tonight’s Choichechem Provincial Maiden over 400m. The daughter of Aussie Infrared had been unplaced at her first three starts and was sent out at the juicy odds of $31 tonight. Five chasers all began quickly and a line of five formed as the field left the back straight. Greek Odyssey cut down to the rail and was able to cross his rivals before going on to score by three lengths. The wide tracking Expedential ran second for Jackie Wilson and a neck away third was Magic Entry for Tim Gummow. Greek Odyssey clocked 23.15 and looked suited from the wide draw at the roomy, newly renovated Mandurah track.

HOUNDS TO FOLLOW :

Trial 1 Number 1 WEST ON LIBBY : Rocketed out and clocked 6.28 early before winning in a flying 22.71.

“Nangar Bubbles first to qualify for Mandurah Cup”

Nambeelup trainer Sean Kavanagh advanced Nangar Bubbles into the Mandurah Cup Final tonight, overcoming a couple of hiccups in transit to win the opening heat. She began well but was crossed in the back straight by Fire Cloud. Then turning for home Fire Cloud wobbled wide and took Nangar Bubbles with him. Strong chasers Speedy Willow and Solidified took inside runs but Nangar Bubbles dug deep out wide to regain the lead and win by half a length. She clocked 27.57 which was excellent given the interference she struck at two vital stages of the race. Solidified snatched second and will represent Jarrahdale trainer Krystal Shinners in the final. The other heat winners were Canya Mia (27.35), Hinto (27.26) and King Tommy (27.10).

“Minh Smiley wins brilliantly for Ben MacLean”

Former Victorian sprinter Minh Smiley has now started twice at the new Mandurah circuit for two tidy victories. The daughter of Fernando Bale won over 385m at Shepparton in September but was unplaced at her first two WA starts at Cannington. At the opening Mandurah meeting last Thursday she recovered from a slow jump to win over 400m in 22.64 when she held off West On Outlaw. This evening she began poorly again but after settling fourth at the first turn railed to the front and then raced away to win by five lengths. She recorded an impressive time of 22.47 and looked to have plenty of energy left as she crossed the line. Her trainer Ben MacLean continues to prepare a stack of winners regularly and Minh Smiley provided him with his 205th winner for the calendar year.

HOUNDS TO FOLLOW :

Race 2 Number 8 PAD UP OWEN : Relished box eight and rocketed down the outside to claim an impressive victory.
