AU - Strathalbyn - Race 1

BLAZING RED (1) produced a much better effort third-up when closing off strongly late to just miss by a head at Murray Bridge. At his top now and draws well again. Can go one better. WINGS OF DESTINY (8) has been knocking on the door throughout this prep and finds another suitable contest. Gets a key switch in Holder and can break through this time. FOMENTER (4) is a Cool Aza Beel gelding on debut for the Hickmott team. Has come along nicely in his lead-up work and can make a bright start. WINNING ALL ROUND (6) was well supported throughout in his debut prep without breaking through. Returns from a short break and strips fitter for two hitouts. Among the main hopes.
