HW I gotta say i will be as shocked as anyone in australia if More Joyous gets anywhere near So You Think next week. I was lucky enough to get on So You Think in the early Plate markets and get $12 as I knew if he came back in good order then he would be nowhere near those odds.
As far as I was concerned More Joyous had to smash that field last week to be a chance in this race and whilst she won well she certainly didn't do it comfortably. They would be lucky to be D graders last time these guys are A grade top of the class So You Think might be the best horse I have seen with the perfect jockey on board to suit him, no longer does he reef and tear like he did with that cowboy Boss on top he now settles in his races perfectly and Arnold really seems to have found the ticket to this bloke he is built like a bull with a motor like a ferrari.
I know alot of people have jumped off Shoot Out and whilst it is hard to see him winning I doubt he isn't in the placings unless they absolutely walk which won't suit him one iota but probably would help More Joyous.
Regardless of the tempo I think So You Think wins eased down and if there is a solid tempo Shoot Out runs 2nd and it wouldn't shock me if the quinella the cup a week and a half later to go with that.
