Yes that's true. I didn't penalize Super at all, he's a great horse who almost always performs, he carries weight and he was always going to be trying to win that race. I returned him his peak on my figs and that made him top pick. He prob didn't run to his best but close was good enough. Again, they are really a case by case thing I reckon. Using their last first up rating means you back a lot of losers, let me assure you of that, as they most certainly do NOT necessarily repeat again. One of Mark Read's comments in this respect is "out well, in well" and that does hold. (ie if they went out to a spell in bad form they come back in bad form, if they went out in good form, they come back in good form).

I'll let you ponder that one, grasshopper.
