Marasco looked a ball of muscle during his track gallop between races at Ascot on Saturday, and everything is in order for the Fred Kersley trained gelding to start in the Australia Day Stakes at Ascot next Saturday. He will then be off on a Vic campaign commencing with the CF Orr Stakes & culminating with the Australian Cup.

I wonder if Fred is still taking Cape North east as well. Subject of some substantial wagers past two starts & did show a bit of form most recent.

1 BARON ORCZY John Price
2 CITY OF RUINS Vernon Brockman
3 FIELD COMMANDER Colin Webster
4 IMPRESSIVE STATS Darren Mc Auliffe
5 INNOVATION Neville Parnham
6 KEYTON GRACE Adam Durrant
7 MARASCO Fred Kersley
8 MAXXIMUS DIGNITAS Gary Nicol
9 WIRE DETONATOR Sharon Miller

Looks like it will be a cake-walk for the big M

Not much joy for Fred Kersley (injury) and his stable (winners) of late. Hopefully Marasco can help change all that!

Any comments on last Saturday's 'boat-race' - race 5. The final sectional for 2nd, 3rd & 4th were all faster than the winner Silver Seam. The race time of 1:23:39 was well outside the race record of 1:22:19. Perhaps the jockeys on the losing runners (beaten 8 lens + ) should be sent back to apprentice school!!
