Thanks umrum, always good to get another viewpoint.

Lachlan river is intriguing me now.... El Segundo is another i am struggling to get to grips with. He destroyed the field at Moonee Valley last start over this distance. Granted their wasn't much opposition but he did the job as convincingly as anything running on Sat would have done.

I agree, however i am not giving up on stratum just yet, probably won't win though. He'll be there or there-abouts. A place would be a good result for him i suppose. As for paratroopers, this is his first run in Melbourne (i think). I'm always wary of Sydney horses first run in Melbourne, plus a bit of rain around. If their was a race to take him on i think this might be it, but who...

Actually the more i think of it, the tougher these races are looking.
