Noorama Race 3 - Open Hcp
VICTORY BAY (3) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten a head, over 1300m at Barcaldine. Is very effective at this distance with two wins from seven runs. Sure to prove tough to stop. HURTLE (2) finished fifth two runs back at Moranbah then improved last time out to score by a head over 1300m at Barcaldine. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. ROLL UP (1) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when 11th, beaten 23 lengths, over this journey at Roma. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to be prominent. WARRAH FLASH (4) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at Charleville, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Todd Banks gets the best out of this nine-year-old gelding. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
