Im sure we're all hoping all stables hold their nerve & we get the race we want.This week's Hobartville looks set to include:

Mutawaajid,C Command,S Bullet & possibly G Edition
Mearas is reported to have a slight injury & will be set for Brisbane. I wonder if this means Mentality is more likely to start,opinions on his effort Sat?
I wasnt disappointed with his 1st try against the older horses.

In Melb we see Efficient's re-appearance this week.Can someone pls post the noms when available.

Mentality ran quite well, only a 3yo and Desert War is just a ********ing good horse.

I'm excited about Mutawaajid though.

It was Mentality's second go against the older horses. First time against them he over raced and was still too good. On Saturday, he tried hard but Desert War just kept rolling. I think he is a potential star but he has to come down to Melbourne and do it against three horses that could all prove themselves to be freaks by the time they have finished their careers. I think it is a three-horse race still. Mentality is the best 3yo in Sydney IMO so if I owned him I would probably be keen to stay in Sydney and clean up.

Mmm,that proved absolutely nothing.
Haradasun went as good as he could have gone, ridden like that.
Efficient was ridden more forward & raced like a stayer

Just announced on TVN that Haradasun pulled up lame after the race
Nash said he wanted to settle closer but he wouldnt stretch out

Fixed odds the others if you can get on lads.Will only drift from here
