Anchor,

Not sure what the wisdom of nominating a horse for a 7k maiden and a 100k listed race is...connections obviously knew the bloke had ability...but i guess its just a fallback option if they saw something they didnt like in the acceptances in the 100k race? *Shrugs*

As for Lasoran, i totally agree that he looks an EF horse. He looked so good winning at the coast because he was running past slow ones. Put good horses in those races, and he won't appear to run as well. Also, run that race yesterday (the slipper) at the Coast and he wouldn't have finished as close. Its all a matter of judging what the class of opposition is. Mind you, i don't think the field yesterday was top notch, they were just better than a maiden at the gold coast.

As for Show Biz Kid, he is just a money-muncher. I've seen horses like him all too many times - they win far too infrequently to make a go of it. Plus, you'll lose your hair following them . But, to each his own.
