Yeah, thats what we came up with with the short form there is. That and history. Usually the winner comes from the Stutt and Stan Fox.
Obviously with dreamscape - the querey is running in the opposite direction, while its plus is that Gai does have a habit of making a horse peak at the right time (then imo, overraces them straight into retirement).

Indeed. Add a bit of rain and that changes the field - although dreamscape has done it on a slow too so that really stuck out.

Rockdale ran on ok from the back last time (as per instructions apparently ?) so they'll do the same again ..
Whobegotyou does look hard to beat but i'm not keen on the 3.50 ,,i'm not discounting Von coasta yet,,i didnt mind his last run ...
Looking towards the Derby i dont mind the look of Larry's Never late ,,bred to keep on keeping on.. |
Hey Mav. Yeah, I was awol for some time there, lol. We moved up the coast and Lady was being rather iffily managed so we had to get out. The Majority owner took some pretty bold action after that and while she did win another race, there was just not much of her left. She would have been a real class horse with just one decent trainer.
Anyway, yeah - I think Tindal was the one with the biggest question mark. No horse has won the guineas from barrier 16, but from what I have heard, Tindal has blinding early speed and tends to lead the way to the line. But the only races he has done this in end at listed. Massive step up in class. Although, it could still surprise and it wouldnt be the first time thats happened in a big race - although usually the surprise is the odds on favourite running like a 3 legged dog (see: Turnbull).
I havent even gotten into thinking about the derby yet, lol. I really should. But I reckon Pompeii is being raced to peak on tuesday the 4th at Flemington!
