Some very ordinary meetings and very ordinary horses today, but I do like this one. Its previous runs have been in far more challenging company.

Strathalbyn Race 6
1200m Class 4

NO.1 SMILINGLY :smile:

Onebet,

I don't bet Sundays but I did see this race. Did you?

The winner (Shocks) was at least 8 lengths better than the field, only got out with about 150m to go to rattle home. Could be one to look for in a city race.

Placegetter,

I didn't see the race but I listened to the radio call. By the sound of it, Shocks was absolutely nowhere but unleashed a really powerful sprint to the line, coming home like an express train. The one I backed, Smilingly, started out like an express train but I think it stopped one station too early!!

Shocks could well be worth following.

I don't know if anyone can get hold of the sectionals for the race but it looked really freaky. It's hard to pass judgement because I know little about the competition. Smilingly was ridden hard early for sure.

Good luck in the future.
