Hi Kiwi! I looked at all the visiting trainers only, since, as I've said before, if it's less than a few hours by float(or within minutes as is the case Doomben/Eagle Farm) to the races, it really is tempting to "give it a go" even if it's just wishful thinking:costs nothing and you might get a few grand for 5th or 4th even. Better in fact than winning at the Gold Coast where they probably should've been.
There were 6 of these, and three were short-priced Waterhouse animals. Overbet due to the Golden Gai tag, I ignored them. Remember, Kiwi, that we dont want to know why the favoured horses are in the race (ie that is clear), but why the OTHERS have been sent a thousand Kilometres. Not wanting to tempt fate (or treat the horses like a predictable Physics experiment) by trying to whittle it down further I let the old risk/reward equation guide me and took the 2 over $20. That's it!!
