Friday Creek out so that gives Snort a chance at the weights,,,was unlucky last start and the track and distance suits....
The track if there isnt more rain could be a dead tomorrow,,,you couldnt get a better drying day than today with the strong winds,,,

a note on Mitanni,,,i thought Shane was super hard on him last start where he cut him him to ribbons the finall furlong...Shane being one of the more stronger riders..He seemed to be full of life the other day at Breakfast with stars though so he might have needed a real good hitout to top him off as Shane was easy on him the start prior...the new trainer would have liked to see where the horse was at aswell..

I like the idea of moving the race earlier,,this is good news for Goldie as it might be a tough day to lead them up..i'd pay close attention to the earlier races to see if there is a bias..

Wow hasnt Snipers been backed,,couldnt beat a good class 6 horse last start and could jump fav tomorrow in a group1..it wasnt his last run that gives him a chance here its his run against Mutawhajid and Goldie last prep where with luck he should have beaten them both...I think hes unders even with Williams aboard ,,but the 26's around early would have been nice,,

Mav on Sniper's Buller he is a classy little horse that can handle any conditions and in fact i think likes it wet better than dry, he has run in some of the best company in sydney and run very well and at the weights i feel he is thrown in there with 50kgs, I had the feeling early in the week he would jump fav which was the reason I jumped on early.

what a horrible day in brisie,,freeezing and windy (could be worse ie Sydney) ,,,,,i'll be at the track and even though i have 10,000 reasons to be cheering GeeIJAne home ..if she does get beaten i hope Goldie can do it,,it will be a huge achievement and a bit of history..
