VRC MEMBER ANDREW BOSTOCK TROPHY
Results
Tricky finish but want to look for the different form again and PRIMA BELLA (4) comes down from Sydney with some attractive form lines. She won in this grade first up at Randwick, tackled a red hot BM78 second up and was close up last Saturday off a freshen. Now turns around quickly for a sharp yard who know the right horses to bring South. STREET ARTIST (11) is going well without winning this time in, chasing a dominant winner at Caulfield last time who led throughout. His run over this route during Cup week last year reads very well for this. NEXT STEP IOWA (13) was well backed up in grade last time but just battled somewhat to 1100m. Like her back to the short course and with Williams replacing the apprentice. LANDMARK (9) is going okay, like him down the straight over 1000m where he can let rip late out wide. ONE HARD LADY (10) was touched off at $1.45 fresh but should come on from that and can figure.
