Well the first day back from blackbook oblivion proved a bonanza, as Dissolved did the right thing and won in race 2 at Flemington.

Sadly, we didn't get to see the likes of Trim and Denman go round due to the wild hail storm that tore through Melbourne. I was in the thick of it in South Melbourne and I can tell you it was something else!!
