Ventured West
 

Mt Barker today...

Race 1 former Victorian mare Kool Thing very disappointing last start at Bunbury. Drops back in distance today but hard to get enthused on what she’s done in WA thus far.

Race 2 Saratoga Power didn’t flatter at his WA debut however should be fitter for that hit-out and the extra distance of today’s race should suit. The former south aussie also races in blinkers for the first time.

Race 6 He’s Smokin’ has done us proud since first mention on this thread. Steps up to 1200 for the first time since venturing west but has won and been placed over 1200/1300 in NSW previously.

Race 7 former banana-bender Grove Hill has now had 3 starts in the west following a 12 months spell. Should be nearing peak fitness and drops in class today on his last run at Albany.

REAL HALO
 

Like the top weight REAL HALO race 5 Pinjarra today.
100% win strike rate this track only concern yet to win today's distance. For that reason will also include in exotics with LYRICAL QUEEN, PEDAS SAKALI, HEADBANGER, BELLA NIKITA and LORD OF DARKNESS.

cant imagine too many WA horses have attempted a career over fences!?

anyone know of any others?

I can't recall any at all :confused:

I'm sure the win of Paris Raider must have chirped up Alana a bit but I still wonder 'what might have been' had Collins Street had a bit of luck in running. When I last checked the tote was around 50/1 EW :rolleyes:

Ditto!!

Spirited Gem
 

Following up on a recent post with regards to what looks on paper to be harsh handicapping.

Spirited Gem is a regular inclusion in my WA stable. Last start carried 56.5kg (no claim) race min. 53.5kg winning at Ascot last Saturday. Nominated for this Saturday and has been allotted 58.5kg race min. 53kg. That's in reality a penalty of 2.5kg!!! All I can add is WHAT-THE??!!!!

REAL HALO
 

REAL HALO has been scratched, wotarun :(

grey matter wrap-up
 

Reasonable day for the greys yesterday at Pinjarra Park with Ball Lee (1st), Heavy Handed (unplaced), Calarosa Donna (3rd), Real Halo (scratched), Girl Named Vasac (unplaced), Dashing Belle (unplaced) and Silver Ambush (also unplaced).

won EAZILY!! win div $5.80 :D

speed rating tip for Ascot Saturday.
 

Sat 20 Jan 2006 R8 #3 Coleridge. As I post this at lunchtime Friday, there are two important things that need to happen so that this one becomes a bet. 1. Fast/good track rating only, and 2. There needs to be at least another scratching to bring him into gate 10 or under. He returned a nice 103 second up and his class4 win at Bunbury first up over 1400m tells us that he has some good fitness in his legs. He should improve again. Back to the 1400m again today I expect him to go forward and prove hard to run down. Danger is #8 Real Halo.

good punting!
Aaron.
