...can't blame the fish, great ride, ran into one a bit better on the day

I sacked Charlie Beau some time back...beaten fav 4 times so far this year!

Yeah a top ride by Jason. One of WA's better jockeys.

the fish
 

Wasn't a bad ride on Divine Impression R1 Sat either. That horse got crowded early. Ran on nicely at the end.

I see Whiting has a few rides tomorrow.. What would be his best please?

imo shashti...guyno...captain woodrow

Wouldn’t dismiss Collegian and Fight to Live as chances ;)

Well spotted sportzcaster

cheers watsonnek
the fish rode them both a treat
nice price captain woodrow :)

thanks..,,finished in front

nice ride in the 1st today, should do ok with Manahatn

Best for Whiting today?

I'd say Charlie Beau & Local Legend ;)

also has a good chance in the 1st & 8th imo

yep, took out the 1st, nice ride!

Guyno
Daka's Gem

Agree Guyno the one they have to beat. Current odds Ronnie looks overs on his best form & if you forget his last run.

If Luskin Dancer can repeat her last start effort looks ew value at 25/1 (was 34/1). Guyno looks a bit short imo but must be hard to beat. I expect a good run Westerly Breeze today.

Dismal effort by Luskin Dancer perhaps her previous start win should be classed as a bit of a ‘fluke’!

Guyno gutsy in defeat. Ran the fastest final 600m.

Westerly Breeze a gallant runner-up.

Good run the winner & good ride Oli.

Another run of note New Spice. Wide early, dropped back, then got going again late, equal 2nd fastest final 600m.

3 GRAND ZULU Gwenda Markwell Ms K O'Hara 3 53.5
4 BEAUTY WATCH Gai Waterhouse J Innes 2 52.5
5 PASIKATERA Gai Waterhouse B Shinn 7 52.5
6 ALVERTA Paul Messara G Schofield 5 52
7 MISS PAGEANTRY Gwenda Markwell L Cassidy 6 52
8 NEWPORT Paul Perry J Lloyd 4 52

PASIKATERA looks very well placed..,,ew for me

I know class wise there is no comparison but on miss pageantry's run 2 starts back can Takeover give her 9kg's

Takeover Target

only 8 runners :eek: very disappointing!
anyone give Honor in War a chance?

Pace of the race is what this is all about. Takeover Target wont be getting all his own way this time.

Takeover Target a natural leader / front runner has to come over from 8, infront of Grand Zulu who races on the pace and wont be going back to take advantage from (3) Beauty Watch will be doing the same from (2) both not neccesarily looking for the lead but wont be sacrifing their spots either! Pasikatera drawn inside of Takeover is a natural leader and will come over with him.Alverta usually leads but last time sat back and with the pace on will probaby do as last start and drop back.Miss Pageanty has led her last 3 starts (6) Newport will get back

That leaves alot on pace runners with Takeover either using some juice to get over or need luck in getting in or being forced to go along at a good clip. Its only about 250m to the first little bend from the 1400. The last time he raced 1400 @ Randwick was the All Aged where he finished 5th beaten 4.3 by Bently Biscuit, Black Ink , Malcolm.

Its a big ask with a big weight. i dont rate his opponents at all though.

I think the smokeys are
Perhaps a Takeover Target + Beauty Watch + Honour N War Quinny at best for me for some value.
i also notice gai has a front runner in Pasiketra & one that can sit off in Beauty Watch....... perhaps using the first to benefit the latter ? worth some thought.

I agree with King Cugat, all on pace. If Alverta can sit off them maybe look for her & Beauty watch coming home,


Don't worry if you don't find the winner just double up on the favourite in the next race & you will still finish in front, I think they call it a win - win

;) :)

What happened in the Villiers? Honor In War??

great div watab westman
your shout ;)
