How goods this race going to be!!!

Haven't looked at form but have been following Shadoways. Got her in my fantasy stable too. Has won down the straight and only has 51.5kgs plus McEvoy on board. Might be looking at her I'd say.

 

[Surely]

Natural Destiny for mine.

 

[miccle]

Fast'n'Famous to be right up there.

 

[Nuffs]

Fast'n'Famous to be right up there.

right up there plus a length

he's the new sprinting superstar in Oz

O'Shea due for a change in luck too, or maybe he's had his luck and now he's feeling the wrath of the punting gods :lol:

This is some race! Likely to be a blanket finish.Going with Shadoways (11). Has put in some very nice runs leading up to this including the narrow loss to Fast 'n' Famous 2 starts back in the Gilgai down the straight. She meets him 1.5kgs better this time. With 51.5kgs, she'll be flying late off the back of a hot pace.

Fast 'n' Famous (7) for second. The one on the way up and with a great record. Corey Brown will give him a good ride and he'll be hard to beat.

Throwing Street Smart (15) in for some value in the trifecta. She drops sharply in weight and can put in a good one here. Had a very good track gallop yesterday I believe.

The classy Miss Andretti (4) also hard to beat. She'll be in the finish somewhere. Record speaks for itself and she's won down the straight before.

The consistant Dance Hero (3) will be thereabouts and it's hard to leave out Paratroopers (1) although some of these sharp sprinters get in a lot better at the weights for this than he does.

 

[Surely]

Don't write natural destiny off, 51.5 boss on board, and he is a very smart sprinter, might be a tad shy class wise of paratroopers and fast'n'famous, but with the light weight is going to give it a shake.

 

[Macca_]

Yeah there's a few I left out that I could have had in there. I think at the weights though there's a couple of others I'd have ahead of him with similar weights.

Tough race to pick!

 

[chili pepper]

Most of the favoured horses have drawn wide here - this should be interesting given the bias

 

[Macca_]

Won't it what!

I'm on Shadoways. Can pick up the Daily Double too. Geez I'm hoping McEvoy pulls him across in behind the speed and gets a rails run :lol:

 

[Macca_]

Bugger it :x
