Cheers fellas. Obviously couldn't be happier with that gate, he gets his chance from there and if he's runs up to his best on the day he's as good a chance as anything i reckon.
Certainly haven't written the filly off, while her job has been made that bit harder she looks to be just that good and if anyone can get over the visitors gate it's her. As for what they with her i reckon they'll have to try and go forward with her given the way she races. It's risky given she'll spend a bit of petrol getting across and might get caught wide for the best part of the race but they might not have a choice.
With Rubick drawing 10 i don't think it'll hurt his chances much at all. You'd reckon he'll also try and get across as early as possible and take up a possie up near the front and take up the running. We'll settle just off them a bit and with any luck it's a fast run race and have the last crack at them. All that said there's a few more chances in the race i reckon and any of them could bob up, you just never know in these 2yo races.
As for our bloke the trainer has been very happy with his work and how he's came on since last start (as they all have no doubt) He reckons he couldn't be any fitter so barring some rotten luck in running which is always a possibility there's no excuses. If he's good enough he can win, if he's not he won't.
Lets just hope for a nice pay day Hiney and if anyone else backs him i hope he gets the job done. Nothing worse than people losing money on your horse but nothing better when winning on it ;-)
