2 year old event to start the day, I will focus on the newcomers. Ningbo was a $110 000 graduate of the Gold Coast yearling Sales. She has a half brother by Sebring who sold for $260 000 and ran fourth in last years Gold Coast 2 year old Magic Millions Classic behind Unencumbered. Won a 1000m trial comfortably, hails from the powerful Simon Miller yard and with W.Pike in the saddle she looks very hard to catch. Senso is a $75 000 Street Sense colt out of Dehere mare Danza Doll who Lex Piper paid $320 000 for in 2008 as a yearling. Finished a head behind zippy filly Castle Queen so expect him to have some toe. Habenera is one of the first of this years War Chant crops and was an $85 000 purchase, her dame Hot Tamle was a 5 time 1000m winner, 3 time Ascot winner and debut 2 year old victor suggesting she will be an early 2 year old type. Looks an even race behind stand out debutant Ningbo.

crowd was alright I'd say. whose the person on the far right drinking a can of Mid, is that a sheila on stilts or a bloke with a blonde wig on, would hate to run into her down a dark northbridge alley on an early sunday morning :-))
