REGAL ROLLER
ELVSTROEM
STARCRAFT
GRAND ARMEE

For those tipping Regal Roller, don't forget Miss Potential is in the race. RR will be wishing he was back running a cushy 1400-1600 at Caulfield as they pass the school at MV. Sprinter milers simply never win this race.

Either Starcraft or Grand Armee should win with Paolini a smoky.

Track good, all starting.

I just cannot rate any of those horses with Savabeel winning that race sorry but that is average we are talking about a horse that barely beat an average field in sydney last start I love Starcraft but he isnot that great got a good run but was not good enough none of them were. All I can say is that this makes horse racing here in australia look extremely average.

I think you're right Raw.
I don't like to bag our Racing but I backed Savabeel in the Champion Stks but gave him no hope today. I guess the 9.5kg FOO had to give him told in the straight.
Also, the fields were average today.
Best fields this Spring were on Caulfield Guineas day.

i just cant see how the jockey on elvstroum could let him get so far back, he led all the way in the caulfield cup (2400m) why couldnt he be leading or atleast mid field in todays race (2040m), he was basically at the tail with no chance..........

although i did see him begin to fly down the outside only to be blocked by the jockey wearing orange colours..........

still im a little poorer tonight, and very dissapointed :sad:
