Whats everyones thoughts on the straddie ??

Looking for some niced priced runners i picked out
Fritz's Princess shouuld have won on the weekend and looks to be going better than ever,should get into the field and the likey fast tempo and the track suit.26's
Double Dare runs in the 10,000 this week and maybe some sort of chance after his last run where he got a mile back and made a huge amount of ground chasing RTW. Another like Fritz's that will be charging late and suited track, distance and tempo. 17's
Swick The one i like the most, made good ground late off a muddling tempo last start..kept on the fresh side for this assignment ticks all the boxes. The added box i'd tick for him is Class,,he's proven and wont know himself with that weight. 11's
Atapi The horse is flying , Forget his last run where he was stopped when just warming up,,another who gets alot of ticks and the type that will be weaving through the field late. 14's

Horses like Vormista and Reigning to win big chances but look unders at the moment. Murtijill brave last start but he wont get it easy up front.


Another point i wanted to raise is "where have all the genuine good track surfaces around carnival time gone ?? " I know down south the practise is to over water alittle to make sure the surface is borderline dead (we all remember Makybe's MC ) but i think track curators are bowing to the pressure of keeping southerners and the boys over the tasman happy.
(yes spoken by a true queenslander)
Back in the day trainers with horses that like the firmer surface targeted the Brissie races expecting the suited surface. These days are gone i suspect ..
The Gold Coast (just check the times) maybe the only track left with a genuine firm surface. Maybe i'm jumping the gun but we'll see over the next few weeks.
