The Good -
January is Over - We can get back to real punting again.
Shalo - What a run! This horse has matured into a summer carnival contender. Don't get me wrong, from a financial sense I'm personally very glad it was beaten, but for mine that was the performance of the day. Fought off a very good one early in the straight and almost fought off everthing else after that.
You've been Vaughned - He's pretty much a top line trainer now, just needed a few good ones to show his wares. He's certainly got a few good ones now. Heorshe, Black Heart Bart, Dawn Approach and now She's a Virtue.
Flytego - As the name suggests. Been holding very good form for a very long time. Interestingly enough was beaten at Geraldton a year ago!
Ike & Carbery - In my opinion two of the most underrated jocks around, if their horse is a genuine chance they generally do the job.
The Bad -
Give me a spell - Rebelson, but did put in a great campaign.
Give me a nice family home with sweeping paddocks and country views - Kalahaar.
Cerise and White topliners return - Have noticed a pattern of the cerise and white taking a trial and also a run lately, but the concern about today is the the two returning 3yo's didn't really savage the line like you'd hope, although both were ok. The jury is out on both of these, as they are back quickly after very hard preps. I'm certainly not ready to sack them yet but the warning light is flashing.
The Ugly -
Flying Roar - There are favours, and then there are favours.
Samuel Jackson - I wish they'd allow me to wager with them, opening price was $3.75 Battle Hero tomorrow.....talk about twice the price...

Delicacy sat on the pace in the Champion Stakes fillies race and I expect her to race more forward as her preparation continues
