Good start, bad finish! Bridgestone will be clear cut favorite for the WA Derby after overpowering them today.

Yeah, looks likely to be a Parnham Derby quinella. Gutsy effort For Your Eyes Only after being ridden on the speed.

Will be watching for any betting moves Flying Duel r2 at Kal today. By Encosta De Lago has been fancied all previous starts in east.

Well there was good money for Flying Duel but it didn't place. Maybe over further ground, later. Could have been worse. If you were on Sonny Biscay, first past the post & easily beating the rest. Disqualified for carrying 1kg under weight! Beats me why they don't declare the horse a "non-starter" (& apply the standard deductions rule) in such circumstances. The poor old punter cops it again!

Absolutely RJ, the bookies given a freebie in this case, but it should be 'protect the punter' instead, and stewards should give a heavy penalty to the jockey. Also feel for the owners and trainer, they'd be gutted!

A few black-type on Sat. Is Marasco home & hosed?

At WFA scale can't bet against him RJ, always exciting to see him race.

Good racing at Ascot
 

R2 - Tips 1-4/6/7. Late Night Flight to lead from Legend Express, Saffron Fire. Late Night Flight's best chance to finally win one, hoping to not cop much pressure early. Lexicon Gold will get a cosy run on the rails and is a danger. Lay Vain Strike. It's promising but it'll need to come from near the rear and wide.

R5 - Marasco 1st , Tarzi 2nd, DoYouDare 3rd. Lay Tarzi.

R6 - Tips 6/10-1. Leaders...Impressive Jeuney, Tropical Fury, Le Plunge, and possibly Liberty Street. The distance 2200m is unknown for all so there could be a big improvement from one or more of these fillies. Going for One Cool Queen and Test Case.

R7 - Tips 1/12-5. Lots of speed to suit those running on. O'Donnell has stuck with London, and it might be in a good spot mid-race, 3 wide with a trail. Shock Value to get a perfect run from the rails and will just need luck finding the gaps. Colour Correct has a brilliant finish and might track London until the turn. Good race.

One to follow
 

Big Josh - 1st starter by Blackfriars, was a fantastic run for 2nd yesterday especially the last bit. If he doesn't draw well in the Karrakatta then it makes things tougher in which case something like the 1400m of the Sires would be perfect.

Hi schonegg, yes mate I did notice that horse as well - a nice swooping second. I blackbooked it straight after the race so we will watch with interest!
