Sandgroper, what do we do with the Star Trekking form of last week? 4th and 5th in that race were B.Coombe and Kalgoorlie, both did nought today in a weaker race.

R8 – Betting drift didn’t matter as the resuming Zoometric(4 7) ‘flooded home’ giving SMiller a winning double, nailing Mogul(7/4 9/4). This probably was career best run, has returned with a bang.


I think you may have been overestimating the chances of Kalgoorlie and Burrington Coombe on Saturday red. Kalgoorlie was only beaten 2.75 lengths on Saturday after being slowly away. Start before he was beaten 3.25 lengths behind Star Trekking. So, not that bad a run.

Comparable run by Burrington Coombe on Saturday. Beaten 3.5 length over 1500m with 56kg. Start before beaten 3.25 lengths behind Star Trekking, same weight over 1400m, a distance more suitable.

As for Zoometric. Was my rating special of the day and in the end won easily, rating below best, so plenty of room for improvement. :wink:

Nice prediction re Pure Penny red, very disappointing run. Also nice effort Saturday – winners Scenic Cruise, Tapdog, Dedicated Miss and Zoometric all mentioned in your summation.
