Colac Race 1 - Mortimer Petroleum Mdn Plate
A real lottery with a couple of key scratchings and many on debut. 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 which is a positive. 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. BONIFIRE (7) and NAVAL EMBLEM (1) are also in the mix on debut after jumpout placings.
