Whispering Brook --  The Listed Schneider Electrical Abell Stakes over 1200m saw a strong win to Whispering Brook who sat on the outside of the leader, until let down turning into the straight which saw the mare romp away to an easy victory .Now trained at Ballarat by Darren Weir the former Western Australian mare, by Hinchinbrook out of a Machievallen mare Artful Whisper. She has now won six of her 17 starts and none more impressive than last nights victory . She was bred and sold by Hillside Thoroughbreds at the 2014 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale.



Cliffs Edge -- In the Alister Clarke 2040m group 2, Cliffs Edge ridden by Jamie Mott and trained by Darren Weir went straight to the front and never looked like getting beaten even though the Pierro colt Levendi tried hard to run him down. He is a really tough horse by Canford Cliffs and a group 1 beckons soon. Cliff's Edge is a colt born in 2014 November 4th and sold at the 2016 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale out of the Snaadee mare, Simulation. He has had 14 starts for 6 wins.


Highlighted Stallion 
Hinchinbrook
 By Fastnet Rock out of Snippets Lass stands at Yarraman Stud
What a bloodline on this stallion.
 Thoughts for the night !
 The stallion, Mint Lane got the quinella in the 955m sprint race with Our Gladiator and Another Diamond. The breed love the Valley sprints.
 One of the strongest wins of the night was another Darren Weir trained four year old Divine Command. The Commands mare showed enormous courage to fight them off. She is out os the High Chapparal mare So Divine.
Follow Levendi a win is around the corner for the Pierro colt.
Final meeting for the season next week at the Valley and the Sportsbet promotion jackpots to $200,000. Pick the last six winners but can you believe a punter missed it by one this week and that was Cliff's Edge. Poor guy ! Thats Racing !
