JOHN GILMOUR

ONE TO FOLLOW

Hotel Casino was having

his first run since August

when he scored in fi ne

style at Rosehill on

Saturday. He was coming

off two impressive barrier

trial victories and on

Saturday hit the line with

plenty of gusto despite

having the race won a

long way out. This fellow

has more wins in store

and probably against

stronger company than

he beat on the weekend,

so keep on his trail.

ONE TO FORGIVE

If you were on Black

Piranha at the Gold

Coast on Saturday follow

your money next start,

and if you werent then

get on next time. His run

on Saturday to just miss

when second was superduper

because he drew

off the track, was wide

throughout and was back

near to stone motherless

on the bend. He should

have won and only

needs any sort of luck in

running to win next time.

ONE TO FORGET

Gentley Bentley ran

third again at Rosehill

on Saturday, but he has

either forgotten how to

win or he doesnt want

to. He had a lovely run

off the bend on the

weekend but showed

less fi ght in the straight

than a pacifi st. On that

effort he has to be given

the flick.
