16 SINGLE ROSE Shaun Dwyer 53.5

BTC CUP - early thoughts
 

The 3yo fillies most suited at WFA and I would favour MEDIA just slightly over VIRAGE DE FORTUNE...

Others with a strong show are ALL BAR ONE, BLACK INK and UNDUE, and to a slightly lesser extent FALAISE, SINGLE ROSE and ST. BASIL...

UNDUE, ST BASIL and SINGLE ROSE are all double figures at the moment...

VIRAGE DE FORTUNE is the current favourite from ALL BAR ONE and MEDIA...

CANBERRA CORAL SEA CUP
 

DISCO TOUCH has a great record on top of the ground and I liked the way he got to the line first-up.

BEAUTIFUL SALLY should be ready for the upward roll and is very handy this class on her day.

GUNNEDAH CUP
 

(2) BEAT THAT...

Lightly raced gelding quickly finding form after long layoff

(4) VICTORY CHARM...

Drawn a bit wide but loves the distane

(6) ANNJOLINO...

Latest city form good and should race handy throughout

(3) HE'S ROCKIN'...

Has the ability to run a very cheeky race

(10) EL JEFE...

Goes well the distance

Sapphire Coast
 

Race 6 RADIO 2EC MOTHERS DAY CUP

I've rated in order:

(4) Fuhraaree
(3) Kenwest
(2) Mukareena
(5) Yass Drama
(7) Tannabah Lass
(1) Shy Prince

I'm a fan of Victory Charm ...not sure of the jockey though..last start he took off 5 wide before the turn when he had cover ,seems he got alittle excited..hopefully he's learned from that...the trainer sticking with him is good enough for me....
Beat that had 2 years off...must have been a seriious injury but does look to have come back as good as ever...and for a trainer to persist with a horse with that kind of injury he must have a stack of ability...

GUNNEDAH CUP
 

Very surprised that BEAT THAT has performed so well so quickly after such a long spell and he was a bit unlucky last start. A performance on par with his Grafton Guineas win would win this. Think you've got the multies just about covered rsvp but I wouldn't be leaving the toppy out of my investments.

GUNNEDAH CUP
 

Fortunately did spot your post before race-time Seekray and as a result collected on the quinella and exacta. This covered my original investment and gave me a tidy profit. Cheers and big thanks Seekray!

As for Beat That – very good run just peaked on condition should now be getting back to best and perhaps even better!!
