Lightly raced 4YO Siesta Bay was a surprise travelling companion with Northerly. Little bit disappointing last preparation, thought he won with a bit up the sleeve on Saturday - I've rated the run just 1.5 lengths below his very best performance, so does looks promising for a good campaign this time around.

Cheers Perth Placegetter. Sounds like one to watch out for when it debuts over here :wink:

Siesta Bay hasn’t gone well first-up before Saturday’s run. Was a bit hesitant to back him myself but there was good money for him, so I followed suit. Judging by the run and your rating Sandgroper, he is obviously more forward than previous preparations. Let’s hope a decent price on his eastern states debut cause if he does well, we’ll probably not get those odds again.

Given Siesta Bay is trained by Fred doubt we'll get any fancy price, but you never know.

Didn't take Paul Harvey long to get back in the swing of things following his 3 months suspension.

2 winners and a close 2nd from 4 rides!

Carnarvon Cup thoughts.

Party Boy could easily lead them all the way. 5 starts from a spell all up north, should be ready to show best.


The consistent Optimizer is lightly raced and looks well in at the weights. If can handle the step up in distance would be a strong show.


Co Striker has some reasonable recent city form and won the Newman Cup easily last start with dashing dan aboard. Good chance.


Mirror Moon was subject of a stewards inquiry last start after performing poorly at Carnarvon. Before that won the Broome Cup and then ran 2nd in the Onslow Cup. Can't leave out.

Remember backing Party Boy at Ascot back in April. Got 50/1 EW. Kicked clear rounding the turn, the old heart went a pumping :lol:

Still a place chance about 100 metres out but walked the last bit. He can tire quickly!!

IMO Celtus didn’t handle the Sydney way of going in the Newcastle Cup today. Hung like the proverbial. Gear change needed if they are going to persevere. Otherwise we might just get a nice price next time he goes around the Perth way of going.

Interesting thread. Good work guys.

Like (8) Thunder And Halo EW in the Carnarvon Cup. 22 starts 8 wins - great strike. Nice weight. Slight doubt distance (untried). Good luck with the punt!
