00:00 job done but we'll see how it all plays out. Good luck with the quads, good chance
00:04 to you can roll. 340, 650 Mike Cortell and the field of nine are almost set. The L&D
00:10 Bowling Club pace, tap bow ball goes to the back. 21.47 the trip and they're all
00:16 set, there's the green light and away they go. So Ella's Reason who's the
00:20 favourite has not been crossed at this stage. On the outside of it Mike Cortell
00:26 is about two or three metres in front. Ella's Reason driving up they come to
00:30 that turn, hasn't got across Mike Cortell but they're certainly moving. They've
00:34 raced away from Eagles Crossing but Ella's Reason holds the front. So Ella's
00:38 Reason held out Mike Cortell who certainly had a decent look for the
00:41 front. Into the straight they come for the back of the field is Eagles Crossing
00:46 who settles down third and gee Mike Cortell slammed on the brakes in the
00:50 breeze and forced Angelic Sheaint to come around the outside and four deep
00:54 I think security check. Gee the runs are coming here have a look at this 39.6
00:58 out of the straight they go and they're across the track and it's Ella's Reason
01:02 in front but the cavalry are coming thick and fast and it's security check
01:06 who moves up on the outside. This is a hundred to one it goes up into a second
01:10 then came Eagles Crossing now third Angelic Sheaint fourth. Back on the inside
01:14 is just rock and roll and would you believe we've got another one going
01:17 around. I Wanna Dance is on the move as well. It's been exciting racing here
01:21 tonight. Here comes I Wanna Dance going around the outside then Mike Cortell
01:25 with it was challenging for the lead it's now third last then Frontier and
01:29 you can roll Blake Mickeleff is probably just sitting there watching this all
01:32 unfold quite happy with the way things are going. 32 seconds for that first
01:36 quarter and there's been a fair bit of pressure for Ella's Reason but it has
01:39 been in very very good form and it leads out and holds the front for Harvey
01:43 Hodges in search of his first race drive win tonight. Ella's Reason the
01:48 inside I Wanna Dance the runner on the outer then Eagles Crossing running third
01:52 the outside is security check running fourth. Further back then behind those
01:57 Angelic Sheaint on the inside is just rock and roll and further back behind
02:01 those as they leave the straight Frontier with Mike Cortell and you can
02:05 roll who's the second favorite has just been watching it unfold is now starting
02:09 a run from the back of the field so here comes Blake Mickeleff with you can roll.
02:12 30.3 was the second quarter they bunch up into the back straight they go and
02:17 it's Ella's Reason leading out now very quickly security check has moved around
02:21 the outside the runner there in the breeze which was I Wanna Dance is going
02:25 backwards Angelic Sheaint got taken out of it towards the end and it's Ella's
02:28 Reason who continues to lead off the back straight now the runs coming here
02:32 from you can roll who's gone up second so Ella's Reason by three you can roll
02:37 and Blake Mickeleff in pursuit then out of the pack making ground is just rock
02:41 and roll and behind those Mike Cortell a few others dropping off in curity
02:45 including security check 31.7 Ella's Reason still lead you can rolls about
02:50 four meters away they're clear of just rock and roll but down the straight Ella's
02:54 Reason yep tonight's the night Harvey Hodges gets that first win well done
02:58 Ella's Reason too strong in the end for you can roll and just rock and roll and
03:03 then came Mike Cortell Frontier and further back security check in behind
03:07 those Eagles crossing being followed by Angelic Sheaint at intervals there I
03:12 Wanna Dance who ran in last and mile rate 21.1 we'll have that final quarter
03:17 shortly 241.6 the overall time
