Late, but worth the wait!
Well we had to wait till way past midnight for our winner yesterday but it was worth the wait as Twice On Sunday (5 units ew) produced the grittiest of performances to get up, despite a betting drift, to win at $8.20/$3.20!
Amati ran a distant third in a field reduced by scratchings.
Busy day, 24 from the book, and no doubt plenty of winners!!

BERMADEZ
Flemington, 1
He’s racing in super form this prep, with three seconds in a row, and drops in grade for this one. Good stats, Jye sticks up top, he’ll get back early which shouldn’t be an issue in this small field and will be bolting home late as $1.85 fav. Surely wins today…
