I have Sunday Adiue at 4's so i doubt i'll get that ,,,the horse is flying but has been running on rain affected tracks..a few ????

Kincharm is a heartbreak horse,,always consistant though without winning,,i think Zac's aggressive style will suit this horse,,as Tim Cllarks did a couple of starts ago..the long straight suits as does the likely dry track....at the odds i'll have something on....dont forget this horse beat Sunday Adiue on the dry last time they met..

Vitesse Dane another that can imporve around here,,,another like Kincharm that has been hard to back,,but this is a fairly weak field..worth something on if the odds are silly..

Rampant Lion..tough horse..the distance will sort him out i think,,but he'll be in it for a long way..

Bikie (suited by this track) and Scupltor included in the exotics..

What i said about Scupltor the other day still stands..i think he'll have to be feeling this prep,,hes not a machine but he is tough and raced better than i expected last week,,he's only little but has a big heart..

I will go 8 - 5 - 7 -10- 1 - 11 ( minimum price $7.00 )

Cheers.

Kincharm just doesnt know how to win..,,2 from 37 ,,always risky but was suited here ,,,,,nearly got there..

old Centre Fire in the sprint is juicy odds for a good consistant horse,,,,have to have something on,,,,they'll go quick in this ,,,Becks in the right frame of mind would blow these away,,
