Hi here my Aussie friends.

You guys (and gals) are real quite about Starcraft racing this weekend, compared to here in “Nu Ziland” (home of the Bledisloe Cup). For those that don’t know, Starcraft is running tomorrow in the Mudgway Stakes ($200k 1400m race).

He worked on the plough for 2 rounds at half pace on Tuesday. Yesterday he did a round on the course (dead) for a ‘look’ then worked in from the 1400m on the 2nd round. Leith Innes gradually increased the speed and was timed from the 1000m in 1:04.10 and the 600m in 35. Newham said he travelled across the ditch well and has only lost 6kg in weight.

On paper Starcraft looks the one to beat with Kings Chapel, Balmuse and Irish Rover thrown into the mix. Lets hope he doesn’t lie down like your infamous rower the lovely and very sexy Sally Robbins, eh?

Good luck and may the punting gods shine on you

Andrew
