“Shantaram creates big impression first up”

First starter Shantaram could not have been more impressive tonight, leading throughout over 490m in a lightning fast 27.38. From box six he flew from the boxes and crossed the inside division easily before carving out one of the quickest runs of the year. The regally bred Desire Monelli chased him home and was beaten six lengths and another four lengths away third was Western Run. Shantaram is raced by the Mark Adams managed Crisis Creek Syndicate and was named after the 2003 novel written by Gregory Roberts. He is trained by Nambeelup based trainer Adam Smithson and looks set for a very bright future.

“Sea Bass cruises home for overdue victory”

Nambeelup based chaser Sea Bass broke his maiden status tonight for trainer Darren Rowe, overcoming box five to win the Mandurah Stockfeeds Maiden Final over 405m. The son of Hostile began only fairly and settled fifth at the first turn before surging home to win in a smart 22.85. He had only managed five minor placings from his first nineteen career starts and was sent out at odds of $11.00 with the WA TAB. Stanga Bull was beaten by a neck in second and another half length away third was the initial leader Just Send It. Sea Bass’s mother Olivia Benson won fourteen races for Rowe and earned over $68,000 in stake earnings.
