The rain isn't going to help alot of these horses and it is going to be a more of a wait and see what happens and hope the race even happens on the weekend.

The horses I like for the race right now are

Sniper's Bullet: I have already backed him at $9 last night and glad I did as it is the horse everyone is talking about dropping 10kgs from his 1st up run in brissie which I thought was full of merit, sure the opposition wasn't the quality of what he is going to meet in this race but he has been set for this for along time and I would be surprised if he isn't right in the finish regardless of conditions.

Royal Ida: I really think he is a chance in this isn't treated badly at the weights likes the trip and can handle the wet I haven't had a stab at him yet I am happy to wait and see what happens between now and saturday I wouldn't be leaving him out of any multis.

Stormhill: I felt his 1st run in brissie was a cracker and he has performed well on wet tracks in sydney in the past he is the one horse nooone is talking about that is definitely capable of running a massive race in this he can sit just near the speed aswell which could be advantagous aswell not to mention he drops 5kgs for being beaten 2.2l by Friday Creek 1st up.

Mr Ubiquitous: This guy loves a wet track and for that reason alone i had a small bet on him last night at $61 win and $16 place not sure if he has the quality to win a race like this but the wetter it gets the better his chances are and I felt at those odds he was worth a bit of a flutter.

I am going to have a trifecta on the race and it could change a bit if the rain goes away I can't see that happening and would be surprised if they run on something better than a slow track come saturday. One horse I am including if he gets a run is Roman Squire loved his last run not sure he is good enough or not but I don't think this is the strongest stradbroke ever either.

Alot of people are spruiking Black Ink yo me and I say good luck to all of you maybe he can win but it will be without me backing him this time I seriously doubt this horse at 1400m he just doesn't seem to really finish it off I will probably include him in my triffecta as I can see him running a place just cannot see him winning this.
