R7. Schweppes Summer Scorcher - 1 January 1970
|
Can he keep up?
I think the biggest question mark many will have over Dream Lifter will be his ability to hold a position in running over the first 300m. If he can jump with the majority of the field and hold a position one off the rails, potentially one out and one back then he will take a stack of beating. Historically his best runs have been fresh and a recent Mt Barker trial suggested he was ready to fire first-up for Albany trainer Paul Hunter. Mitchell Pateman is $1.04 to produce an elaborate salute to the crowd if he wins and it's great to see the talented hoop riding bags of winners in the Great Southern. Smoko is drawn to lead this field and as we say in the Group 3 Prince of Wales Stakes if he can get his own way out in front he will take a stack of beating. Volkoff back to 1000m is a slight concern but her booming last start win suggests she will be up to them. If she gets the right tow into the race she has an electric turn of foot. Very surprised to see North Ridge in the Summer Scorcher but if you watch his first-up run at 1100m you would think he can give this a shake. Could the hoop outweigh the unsuitable distance query?

If you are Glenn Smith and you saw how many times Jarrad Noske whipped Star Exhibit you'd be darker than Kamahl. It will be interesting to see what the stewards dish up. I haven't seen the head on so I don't how many connected but I counted 28 or 29 hits in...

^^^^^^I think Gatting is a numb skull, but is a nice horse as long as you don't have to share a float with it ;-)
