Pretty good tipping on Saturday El Gordo, all but the two long-shots. Both long-shots were bets at the odds offered.

Had Senate Lease rated 1.5len behind my top rated (Kame's Hope) in the 5th, following his recent return to form at Mount Barker, where he had been twice placed in good company carrying 57kgs, most recent of which beaten a nose.

Had Instantaneous rated 2len behind my top rated (Beyond Dispute) in the 8th. This rating was based on OK runs in the city as a 3YO and good recent provincial form. I think the bad barrier may have been a blessing, as he is often ridden up on the pace. With the wide draw the jockey settled him back in the field and he flooded home. I thought a very impressive run, and if not a one-off performance, could go on with it & win a couple more at good odds.
