As hard as it is to put a positive spin on yesterdays debacle the only good thing to come out of it is next time they meet (hopefully over 1600) Dark Target will be way ver the odds.

Ridden properly, off the speed, Dark Target would give Megatic windburn.

How do you go past El Presidente? I'll be playing the first4. Could be some value. A few of the outsiders are capable of placing.

Until barriers were released thought New Spice & Mansion House were genuine chances against El Presidente. Still think they’re the main trio.

New Spice for me.

Mr Sandgroper a rough place chance with Danny Brereton to ride.

just placed $100 on no questions.

Got the bets on

Bunbury
