Tidal Storm (Link Robertson)
Race One: Daintysfury was overdue to break her Maiden status and went straight to the front for Jockey Paul King, dashed clear at 200m and then just started to paddle near the line, but held off Halo Park who ran on strongly, but may have ruined his chances by hanging in the straight. Hussonace who was having his first WA start finished off well to run third with Lizard Drinking who loomed on the corner fading to fourth.
Race Two: Lightly raced Carry The Banner broke through at her fifth start with a grinding win over Grandblurr who was a good effort at her race debut, finishing off well late albeit racing a bit greenly. Honest performer Pulashaky battled on well to pick up another check and should win soon over a little more ground. Jazzy Saint ran a fair race as did Flash Gordan who copped a bad check near the line. Mcflirts Delight firmed to favourite, but was caught wide and never flattered.
Race Three: Up and coming Adams Time took a big step up in class but was far too good going away to win over Punk'd who is nearing his best form since coming from Victoria. Billaintsilly got a squeeze at the start and raced at the back of the field and finished a distant third, without ever looking a winning chance. Spitfighter again let his backers down and has become an expensive betting proposition.

Race Four: In the tightest of finishes that fooled most (and me) outsider The Keillor Kid got up in the last bound for apprentice Amy Sandiford to win by a nose over Stockmans Dream with Blazing Icon inches away third. Been so close Sandiford thought she hadn't won, Link Robertson (Stockmans Dream) thought he had, as the Judges had to blow the picture to 2 pixels to seperate them. Stockmans Dream again jumped awkwardly and had the race won but right on the post. Blazing Icon was an excellent effort first up, and was still in front with 25m to go. There was many good runs also behind the placegetters including, All Spots, Marshall Jensen, Boy Canny Go and Trimconnection finished right on the heels of the placegetters.
Race Five: Zarisk improved on his first up placing nine days previous with an all the way win for Jockey Paul King over Star Buck who performed well first up and would have won in two more bounds. Last start winner I'm Called Away battled away fairly to run third but never really looked the winner. Disc Reveller worked hard in running, and did well to hold fourth. Both Irish Target and Jeneviv finished mid field and may be looking for more ground.
Race Six: The favourite Week Bix bounded to the lead from a wide draw and set a solid pace in front, but could not hold out Tidal Storm who was ridden to a nicety by Link Robertson, with Jolanta Star suited by the fast pace and drop in weight running on strongly. Sir Clase and Lovely Lucy were both doing their best work at the finish as was Belarus.
Race Seven: Whilst stablemate and favourite Evil Force was having a torrid run from a wide draw, Jockey Shane Gilchrist had Radio Pleasure in the box seat and dashed away on the corner and came away to win over Mega Blitz who was a good run first up. Evil Force lost no admirers battling on after a hard run to finish third. Racso was a much better effort second up, with Barn Burner and Look Here Trousers looking to have had their chances.
