Alpha Bravo finished 4th at his first start at Cranbourne earlier today. He was ½ a length from 3rd. I was quite pleased with his run, and think will take great benefit from his first start.

 The stable reports that he pulled up well immediately after the race and provided he recovers well in the next couple of days he will go around again in 2 weeks time. They also think he looks like he will run up to 2000m.

 I read the steward’s report of the race, and he certainly seemed to have a couple of adventures in the run. In addition to being held up for a run coming onto the straight, on jumping he also had to be eased to avoid the heels of Beckett Star, which shifted out slightly. As a result of this, Bravo got his head up and made contact with the face of his rider Dean Yendall. Ouch!

Bravo also lost the off fore plate during the run.

All in all and adventurous first day at the races.

Hopefully he will pull up OK, and be able to have another run in a couple of weeks time.
