Requires the, Lowest Weighted GRP1 winning 3yo this season - This year it looks to be
the Snowden\Niko. Filly 'Forensics', but I hope she comes in a bit re. her draw
- Strange that her $1 million dollar Golden Rose win was a GRP2 race whereas her couple of hundred grand QOTTurf win was a GRP1 - it was over 1550 and she came from 7th at the 400 to win - At her previous start in the GRP2 over 1400 she came from 10th at the 400 to win.

As usual there is a bit of a 3yo fly in the ointment named 'Triple Honour' because he lost by a NOSE in the GRP1 Randwick Guineas mile, to arguably the best 3yo we have seen in a while 'Weekend Hussler' - he has the Boss on board and a good draw.

Good luck with whatever you all choose.

Racer, be careful with TRIPLE HONOUR. An article in the Courier stated that after his 2nd to WH (which must have been a gutbuster) he left his feed and was a bit off according to his trainer.
Although it did go on to say that he was now a bit brighter after having his routine changed to beach work and a change of environment.

Thanks for the heads up Joe. - I hadn't seen that - and now they say the
HQ track is heavy I will tread lightly this year because both have only managed 'Dead'.

Stop putting yourself down Stix. Your no more brain-dead than anyone else here. Including this writer :-)

Racer, oops, I hope I didn't talk you out of that thing 8-\

No way Joe - I have noticed over 50 years to take the words of trainers with an absolute pinch of salt, but continuously remember,

' They do the opposite of what they say, watch very carefully what they DO'.

With that in mind if you can review the film of the race have a look at 'Forensics', it missed the jump, Niko. gave it a couple of mins. to get right
and then began to pick up, but chose to stay on the rail, and ran into a brick wall just when she was doing two to their one - Before the race they were going to retire her - I hope they give her one or more chances in Group races.

Many days before the Slipper Niko. did the exact same thing with 'Portillo'
ran into a rail brick wall, and 'Portillo' was trying to climb over those in front,
I took a bagful of the $9.00+ odds at it's NEXT start when it did not get stuck on the rail - I thought they would give the Slipper a miss after it's 1200 win because that horse needs more ground than 1200 - and it's worth remembering that - even though he ran third in the Slipper.
