Peter Brock Memorial Winners Lee Codd & Dance Ona Dime

Eiffella Abby took the lead early but by mid-race was hotly pressed by Dance Ona Dime with Flying Mitch unleashing his customary late charge.

As they crossed the line Dance Ona Dime had a half a length to spare over Flying Mitch with Eiffella Abby a further two lengths back in the smart time of 30.21.

Victorious trainer Lee Codd pocketed $500 prizemoney by virtue of the win and was full of praise for his four year old marvel that has made several comebacks from serious injury. He has been very lightly raced in recent times as a result but judging by the strength of Saturday's win the old stager may well have a few more wins in him yet.

Miss Thailand led throughout to post a 18.16 maiden success whilst in the next race Wicker Man gave a carbon copy performance in also carrying the 7 rug to victory in 18.22.

How Convenient gave the Bell family reason to celebrate when she was never headed in the last
scoring over Boonz Image and Spill Way in a tidy 26.23.
