RIO keeps the dream alive

Perth Turf Talk | Metropolitan Racing | Sun 20 July, 2014

RIO didn't have an opponent this week in his qualifying final, with kermietime not submitting their selections, however it wouldn't have mattered either way after amassing a huge $72 take and outdoing anyone else on the day.

As many as six didn't front for their finals clash making easy qualifiers for the majority. More surprisingly of the bottom 32 that played this week, more of the lower 16 proceeded than those ranked higher.

squid69 and The Diva found only one winner between them and that was the difference in a low scoring affair. Wizard led all day, however benefited from receiving the sub in the last event to take the honours over Chris.

Gary H and notapunta who have been ranked as high as the top 20 showed their class to keep their hopes in check.

The Trial featured 37 runners having an off week and there were some ominous signs from those in the top 32 all performing admirably.

All the winners from this week will front up again next week as they play 17-32 in sudden death yet again. Refresh the ladder to see the updated rankings with those eliminated.
