Here is how John rates his drives Sunday.

Race 1 –Adhika; Probably a watch for now and perhaps pop up over Christmas racing from it’s bad draw.

Race 2-Random Spur; Going a little more kindly now and if begins o.k.an each way chance.

Race 3-Paul’s Verdict ; Beaut old soldier always thereabouts rough chance.

Race 6-Franco Josiah; Going great guns at moment best saved for last run definite chance in even lot.

Race 7-Art Collector; Improved horse, would need quick beginning and to stay handy but upset chance.

Race  9-Already Gone ;Going reasonable but likely to be outclassed in feature race.

Race 10-Time In A Bottle; Distance will suit and in great form but class of opposition is a worry.
