Hard day in Brissie ..big fields and alot of ifs and buts,,hard work.

Race 1.
Not an easy race to start the day.In fact its just to hard.I'll be watching this race but if your need to have a bet My Lion Angel e/w rates consistently.Really warmed up late last start and i have a healthy respect for the trainer. I give chances to 4,5,6,7,8,11,19....not for me

Race 2.
How impressive was Ghetto Blaster last start..just blew them away..has the inside barrier which will help and beat Costa Complete who ran a good 2nd yesterday..Lucky to get 2.50 i'm guessing as he rates very high....Cole trickle is very honest and raced consistently against some good horses last prep..Carry the glory and Bigger than the next best..these look the 3 for mind..but unless i get some value about Ghetto i'll be watching.

Race 3.
Abu Simbel..i've been very patient with this donkey but if hes not winning this hes not winning anything this is his race..the distanct , track , jockey all in his favour..Ancient King again gets the gun run and fair ace will run his usual honest race,,But Abu wins this comfortably..very very confident..

Race 4.
Masai pride looks well suited here..lucky to get $3 tomorrow ..but there is a few improving types in this race like Nexgen and Feeling dandy...Masai will get the gun run and is fit where as a few of the others might need the hit out.....work tris around these 3..

Race 5.
Another hard race..anything could win this..I have on top British Storm and Jumpin Jared ..barrier doesnt help Jared but he gets back anyway....If Moonbi Nymph gets a run she is well in this aswell at huge odds..might have something e/w...and go super wide for the tri..

Race 6.
Umaprince has hit top form again..hes run last start was huge and even though the alley isnt ideal he should lead this and be hard to catch..i like him alot..the 2 hawkes runners Mythological and Mameluke the dangers...

Race 7.
Picture book looks suited here..gets a gun run from a good barrier and has a good sprint..heaps of speed on in this race which will suit...Craiglee warrior a good place chance..should get nice e/w odds....Mystikos down the bottom shouldnt be ignored aswell but she'll be pressured upfront..

Race 8.
San De Aquila is very interesting..cant find a recent trial but the trainer isnt a dreamer..to bring him him up here 1st up in this race after a year off..But the obvious This Two Shallpass from the good barrier rates very high and with claim looks very hard to beat....not very keen on this race either..

A very hard Eagle farm Program to be treated with caution.....havent had so many races rate so close on the same card..

Best bets. Abu Simbel, Umaprince, Masia Pride
Best e/w's. Picture Book.
Best Longshot. Moonbi Nymph

Good luck all

Funny game racing..if Jymcarew or Monte Legend or even Umaprince gets the prize i'm ahead....
well it could have been worse..i've had worse days ..and atleast it came after a couple of huge saturdays..

I was alittle worried today having so many longshots..but as it panned out they were my best collects..

Hope you guys had a win or 2....i'm off to cry into a beer or 2 or 3 or 4 and wonder why i keep backing that Abu thing..
