CHAMPION trainer Wayne DaCosta's GOOD COMPANY has been drilled for tomorrow afternoon's Joseph Ashenheim Memorial Bowl and should rebound in the 2000-metre Overnight Allowance feature following his surprising loss to former stablemate NATURAL DESIRE a month ago.

Sent down in class to Overnight Allowance on June 16, GOOD COMPANY, hardly ever out of the money in the higher Open Allowance in his five previous races, was chased off the lead at a mile by NATURAL DESIRE, who went on to clock a fabulous 1:38.3 for the distance.

DaCosta, who now trails Philip Feanny in the trainers' standings, has since taken his seven-year-old gelding to task at exercise and GOOD COMPANY has responded really well, clocking 1:06.1 for 1100 metres last week Monday followed by a solid 1:00.1 on Saturday morning.

Noel Ennevor's HERECOMESFUDGIE should be GOOD COMPANY's main threat as he was only beaten by Feanny's American, PURE MUD, at 10 furlongs last time out and had NATURAL DESIRE behind, third by a little over six lengths.

HERECOMESFUDGIE will try making all, but his absence from the exercise track does not augur well for his chances whereas GOOD COMPANY has really sparkled in the mornings.

Jackpot's at $1.5m

RAJPUT, at long odds of 32-1, denied all but one Super-6 player on Saturday, leading to a lucky punter collecting $1.247m.

No Pick-9 player was that lucky and just one had eight of nine winners, which returned $162,552.

Both Super-6 and Pick-9 are back at their guaranteed minimum payouts of $500,000 and $1m tomorrow afternoon.

The Pick-9 will get off to an early start, the day's first event, whereas the Super-6 opens at the fourth event on the nine-race card.

Have no fear and bank the first four on those Pick-9 bets - NATURALLY ROYAL, LADY RAKWALAAY, SOY MUJER and FABULOUS P.

NATURALLY ROYAL should go one better after being caught at the wire by the American-bred STRONG DELIVERY at 1820 metres on June 16 and LADY RAKWALAAY was noted closing under tender handling behind PORT ROYALTY at a mile in her fourth start with lasix administered for the first time.

SOY MUJER returns off a claim all primed to land the gamble for trainer Desmond Shand at 1700 metres after getting within five lengths of NIJINSKY'S WAR over 1500 metres on June 2.

The five-year-old mare has trained well for Shand and doesn't have much to beat whereas FABULOUS P looks a good bet coming off a five-month lay-up. Trainer Dwight Chen has called up leading rider Trevor Simpson to get the job done.
