Several of these ran in an identical race here two weeks ago won by Alpine Empire. Raisin Candy Bar fared best finishing from off the pace but was only half-a-length ahead of Sleepy Turtle at the finish with Troy Bethke’s gelding having been ridden more prominently. The latter is clearly getting the hang of things now and Flash Brown, B B’s Scat’n Cat and Pit Fire look held but this can go to CAPTAIN JOHN, who had no luck in-running when just behind Wild Paint here at the start of the month and was placed a week later behind a couple of above-average rivals.
