Race 1: Instructed looked good and should get a few more wins this prep. Lombardy very dissapointing but i dont think many were backing him. Craiglea Emma consistent as ever. cant be dissappointed with her.

Race 2: Well Raw was right on the money with daring fortune. On the Up never seems to be on the up when im on her and today she seemed to be a little better behaved.

Race 3: Scriven the factor here. Showed he was up for a big day after a top ride in the first. Stolit well he's starting to get a bit costly.

Race 4: Isurava again impressive. definitely improved from his last sydney run and looked to love the softish ground. Pepperwood showed me up.....i didn't have much of an opinion about this horse but he's shown there might be a top race in him.

Race 5: Well my as i've said before if i completely bag a horse get on it and i had completely sacked the jackal and it turned around and bit me on the a-s-s. i ended jumping off aim so high just because the leaders werent going too good. i got on foxmore which was only plodding home late. Sectagonal just cant seem to get a win this prep there always just seems to be one better than him on the day

Race 6: Well maybe todays run finally will convince them to spell the Gold. She's been up for a long time and has mixed it with the top and i think she's definitely classed in the likes of our current internationals. Top training effort to get her this far though. I was on Fashions Afield for the place which helped me out. good run. Nova Star well Stathi decided he'd be the top jock for the day. Doubting solid late and J'adane deserves to win one soon

Race 7: Ice Chariot made me very happy. Stathi u little beauty. was a little dissapointed cause i had the quinella with mirkola lass which was a great run but the whole way up the straight im praying rampant lion would stop. good fighting run from him.

Race 8: Well i had my heart in my mouth in this one. I was cursing Pengelly for choosing the rails. All day they'd been doing nothing there and i was ready to jump through the tv and ride the horse myself but he showed he's got great ability ad with four on the trot he might worry a few more this prep.


Well what started as a terrible day ended up great. fashion afield ice charitot and Romanb Squire filled my pocket tremendously. I managed to stay away from gold edition somehow. I just wasn't prepared to take the odds. At one stage i thought she would start bout 3.20 on unitab but in the end she firmed into 2.90 which i think was the people's money on her not the punter's. The makybe factor i think everyone just wanting to get on her and hoping she bounce back and get up.
