Justacanta ran a cracker but had no hope the way the race was run. The young jockey on Remington is still trying to decide where to go. Time to pull up stumps I think. No interest in Moonee Valley and find Sydney harder than Ascot (and I can't pick …

A very good horse. Colellte is over rated.
-
Seems like every week they have live chances in all the big races. I've backed Royal Performer at every start this prep so will have to stick. Harder today though. Advantage is flying and MB was out of sorts last time. Interesting runner in the last…

Surely the only query that needs answering is why Carbs put his foot down when he did. Something in the race has to sit outside the leader. In regards to it previous start, it was a bit tardy, the inside horse jumped quickly, Pike urged it forward …
-
Carbery may have been better pushing the button immediately he got to the breeze but who is to say that Warwick would choose to restrain her mount seeing it was travelling so sweetly (to my eye). In the end, I agree with your assessment that it was …

Good run Solaia. Just finished watching them and interestingly, out of all four races run over the 1800m, this was the slowest overall time. The early speed didn't seem hot. Leader travelling - horse outside never in rhythm. He either chooses to sit…

Good to see the locals doing well. Great effort by Tiarnna to give her horse every chance to race to its potential.
-
Good run Platoon. Got in an awkward spot but came home well.
-
Not for me Thunder. A right Royal performance ;-)
-
Ran okay the Bell. Lucy went early but didn't make much difference. Leaders kept going. They certainly are too hard for me.
-
Give the 1000m straight the flick.
-
Will be holding my breath in the run but going to have something small on Beat The Bell in R2. Think it is unders at the moment and expect better tomorrow. The last is a cracking race. Friaresque's last two efforts have been very good but will proba…

Hi Mr Carey. This discussion is bringing back some memories of the good/bad old days. I'm pretty confident most of us on here are doing it pretty well and on balance, would agree that we are extremely fortunate to be living in a great part of the wo…

and today just proves how difficult it is to continually tip in every race. 28 overall horses identified for 2 winners (a 3rd pick and a 2nd pick) and 4 place getters.

Had a listen to the radio yesterday morning and heard someone throwing out Astronomite based on the trainers thoughts. Might need to head further south. Rogers is doing a great job with Big Caroline. Another tidy effort.
-
Levante is a super little horse but will always be up against it in this grade due to her race pattern. I don't think she has ever not missed the start or been slowly away. I never backed her yesterday as thought the odds were too skinny and couldn'…
-
They look fairly tough and I have been horribly out of form so take these with a grain of salt. Also, for some reason and against my better judgement, the Fish seems to be on a few of them. R2 Ginger Senorita - quite liked its last trial and at the…

Thought Sardellic would take the sit behind the Larrikin instead of tanking along outside of it the whole way. Did well to beat it home.
-
Just got home and caught the race,. CQ would've had to run ridiculous sectionals to get even close.
-
The winner went super. Stageman was a bit stiff again. He made his choice early to stick to the rail and so was totally reliant on luck. His finish is probably a little better than Celebrity Queen so he may have got close with even luck. Rock Magic …
-
Makes one wonder why it has taken the stable so long to put it over the 1400m again. Good day for the Parnhams.
-
He went out an purchased a well bred youngster and was lucky enough to reap the rewards. A great racing story. Presume Bob started with nothing, had a bit of luck and continually made good decisions along the way. Compare that to the Nathan Tinkl…

Its hard getting a good steer.
-
Makes you wonder how it got beat last start. Great return by Luke's Gold.
-
It was difficult to fathom that they couldn't get the **** and food right. Last year they went with the pre-purchase bands and had many more outlets serving and so wasn't so bad. This year they went with cash and had fewer serving points. Not sure…
-
I got excited. Saved my last boost for it too. Could not have ridden it any better. Track has been playing okay. Sun is out too!
-
I suppose he could have set it a harder task, although as Diva said - Tom tipped it!
-
Always tough I reckon. Tom Almighty is my maddie selection for the day. Should get the perfect run behind Inflation and although up in class, I' don't doubt its toughness. At least it won't cost me much to find out.
-
I've watched all of its replays many times and I just don't think it has the lung capacity/endurance. The last 200m of its runs are always way off the mark which is a pain in the butt because over a 1000m, it can certainly reel off a great final 600…

I know it had a tough run today Jell, but I just don't believe Excelestial can run a strong 1200m. I've been burnt often with this one.
