THREE FOR NORTHAM

On what is shaping as a cold wet windy winters day, we will be heading up to Northam later today to try and break the frustrating run of placings and below par performances we have endured of late. The past few months have been very quiet for our stable with quality winners hard to find. The three runners we have engaged at Northam today are all entitled to run very forward races and are all capable of finishing in the placings.

DESTROID and CANNY TOUCH are both racing first up after pleasing in recent trials and both should be hitting the line hard at the end of their respective races. Both will improve on what the do today and both will be better placed at 1200-1400m. ANDRETTI has had a couple chances to break his maiden status without doing so and again gets his chance in what is a fairly even field. There is no doubt that he has been a bit of a pretender, being a handsome son of Exceed and Excel who has promised plenty but delivered little in his time with my stables. If he doesn't break through soon he will be looking for a new home, possibly in Kalgoorlie or Albany.

After having a disappointing run during the winter months we have decided to move on a number of horses which are not performing and concentrate on the young horses coming through.
