“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.

“Piper Spolly breaks a losing sequence of 21 for Tony Mallia”
Piper Spolly turns three years old this month and could not have been more impressive at her Cannington debut this evening. The daughter of Banjo Boy had only managed one minor placing from her last six starts at Northam and was sent out at $21.00 tonight. However after a fast jump she shared the lead throughout with race favourite Argyle Rose before pulling clear in the late stages to score narrowly by a head. The winning time of 16.21 was terrific and if she can reproduce similar times there will be many more wins to come. She is raced by Steven Spoljaric and trained out of Southern River by Tony Mallia.

Race 4 Number 1 RED SHELL : Relished box one and railed to victory in tenacious fashion.
