Only 24 hours after paying the $55,000 late entry fee for Lotteria, trainer Gai Waterhouse has withdrawn the filly after a vet examination this morning.

After the barrier draw I reckon Mr Martini (at $13) is a good wager.
There was no fluke about it's last win at the Valley.

On current form Tirade looks like the definate one to beat, should have won last start when had a much tougher run then both Classiconi and Fastnet Rock. Dont like the Stutt as a formline so i dont like Corstens runners and Chut seems very hard to catch.

We just might see the real Fastnet Rock he will be ridden the way he should be off the pace where he is a better horse left for 1 sweeping burst. I like Danarum alot but he is drawn as badly as what Fastnet Rock is and if I had to choose between the 2 of them I would go to Fastnet Rock on that. General Conclusion and Barely A Moment should get gun runs along with a good rough chance in my mind in Under Command. I also expect to see Swick getting home hard with EltonJon, Zankel and Mr Martini in a damn hard race though this is what I am going with anyway.


1. Fastnet Rock
2. Under Command
3. Swick
4. Danaurum
