Be On Guard joined the growing list of $100,000 earners sired by Changeover when he led throughout at the Gloucester Park midweek meeting. It was his 12^th success.

Smooth Overarm, a NZ bred son of Changeover, hoisted a fresh lifetime mark of 1:52.8 when he outfinished his rivals at Menangle. The gelding has now won 15 races and almost $140,000 in stakes.

Other recent winners by Changeover have been Change Of Mind (Penrith), Party Changer (Temora) and Merry Dancer (Geelong).

Changeover, who stands at Burwood Stud on the Darling Downs, has already sired eight individual winners this season.
