Skidz Final
Race : The Skidz Final
Owner Restricted Allowance – $50,000
Track : Queensland (AUS)
Restrictions : All horses, 3 years old
Distance : A mile and one eighth on the Turf
The final leg of the Homeplace Skidz Series takes place on Saturday with four horses still in the running for the top prize the choice of two nicely bred nags. Going into this race the four with winning chances are AUSSIE SKIDZ (17pts) TUI’S PRAWN (13pts) SKIDZ ROAD (12pts) and PAT CASH (7pts). All of these have accepted for the race so it should be a great finish to the series. I think the winner should come from one of those four but it could be any one of them.

Win Percent 50.0% Ave Pzemoney $16,250 SP Rating 67
Scored a narrow win in the Skidz Unraced Maidens but then lacked the same finish over seven furlongs last start when a well beaten fourth. Can improve on that but needs to race closer to the lead.

Win Percent 0.0% Ave Pzemoney $0 SP Rating 52
Although beaten a long way last start in the Skidz Allowance over seven furlongs he did run an improved race. I think the distance will suit him here. Should be well ridden by the experienced I Harvey

3YO Colt by I Am Invincible 2 starts 0-0-0 $0 (ash77)

Has made up late ground in both of the Series races to date to finish just behind the placegetters. Looks like the nine furlongs will suit. C Simien takes the mount and will give it every chance.

3YO Colt by Dissolved (Aus) 2 starts 0-0-0 $0 (grassman)

Win Percent 0.0% Ave Pzemoney $2500 SP Rating 65
Appreciated the extra distance of the Skidz Allowance race last start over seven furlongs to run a good third. Races near the lead but gives the impression he will stay all day. Will be well handled by M Cameron who will give him every chance.
PP13 – 32 SKIDZ ROAD (NZ) 5/1
3YO Colt by Road To Rock (Aus) 2 starts 0-1-1 $16,500 (prosportza)
Win Percent 0.0% Ave Pzemoney $8250 SP Rating 70
Followed a third in the opening series race with a very close second to Ace Skidz in the seven furlongs Allowance race last start. Shows a lot of fight in the stretch and may worry the others out of it.
Good Luck to all Runners
