Colac Race 1 - Mortimer Petroleum Mdn Plate
AIN'T A BAD DAY (2) resumes and his debut placing two back reads well. Will be naturally improved and has jumped out well. Draws low and John Allen is booked. ZOUSOUTH (6) is a leader who missed 1L at Werribee first-up before a plain effort there (vet cleared). Riordan replaces Gordon, who is aboard the stablemate Triple Treat. Fitter again and is worth another chance. SYMBOL OF STATE (10) debuts for a smart stable and her jumpouts have been promising. Well-bred and the betting will be key. Ditto with THE LAST KING (4), who debuts and has won both his jumpouts. REAL HEIR (3) is resuming following a winning trial, looks a fair chance.
