Ive been told she's ready to run a race this week, got no push from the old man last start (Warren said she had trained on well but could be flat up to the 2000m for the first time, he was spot on, as you will see i didn't bet on her at Caulfield) the run before that was huge at Flemington, Warren thinks this is her track. (watch the replay again if you missed it)
Agree, no cert at all, but no way was she is a $41 chance either. I love FR as a horse as well. Tough girl.
I'll eat my hat if it's top 5. But Ill watch the replay tomorrow.

So you only wanted to place a small bet then?

That answers that
To be fair he asked for $70. I just couldn't scrape that much together. I had to jerk off 8 guys just to get the $38 ( the last guy only paid $3, to be fair my arm was REALLY tired by then)

The last guy was Paris wasn't it?

We truly are a nation of sprinters. Not stayers.
You could learn a thing or two from the overseas types ...

I'm wanting to back the Cox Plate horses in the McKinnon so whilst i like Side Glances chances I don' mind if he is scratched as it narrows the winning hopes down and it shouldn't impact price too much.

Are you worried it's an afterthought for a lot of the cox plate horses?

Not particularly, So You Think (freak I know), Theseo, Side Glance, Glass Harmonium are just a few off the top of the head that have won in recent years backing up.
Its the right form as far as I'm concerend, Admire Rakti & Lucia Valentina were huge runs in the Caufleild Cup, they had no right to do what they did given how fast they went in front, all others had their chance and were fair to okay, Rising Rommance had all the favors and still got rolled, He's Your Man has to make the transition from low in the handicap weights to WFA against better horses.
Brambles some chance but again not sure he is a WFA horse, It's the Cox Plate form then the Internationals that I want to be backing in this.

Yikes, I wasn't backing SG though so I should be relieved

Criterion was the best run of these in the Cox Plate for mine, missed the kick slightly, got back and made a long wide run like the winner, was finding the line nicely the last 100M running up backsides.
He more or less had the same run as the winner, just not as good as him.

Criterion didn't handle the Valley at all, keen on him at Flemington.

Myer Classic is very competitive isn't it, type of race you could back 4 horses and still miss.
I will be having one bet in the race however, Star Fashion, has been competitive with the fillies in the past but gone to a new level this time in.
First up she ran less than a length slower than Trust in a Gust (who smashed his rivals including Lucky Hussler) carrying -1kg on WFA whilst he carried -3kg, they ran similar splits for the first 800M, he was faster between the 6-200M mark and she was nearly 2 lengths faster last 200M.
Trust in a Gust has since won 2 G1 races, Lucky Hussler has smashed in them Moonga and likely to be hard to beat in the Emirates.
Again last start she ran strong figures over the 1600M beating Suavito convincingly who smashed them at the Valley last week, her form might not read all that well on paper but she is rating well for what looks an even race.
Sweet Idea got away with murder last time and not convinced she will run a strong 1600M (which this will be with Solicit and the large field generating pace), Catkins isn't hiting the line like she can and the others behind these two in terms of past performance are very even.
Think she is a good bet @ $14 or $15.

SF got dream runs last timr, on mine will need to go better again to win, do you think she can improve 3rd up off that?

All very well to say she got the dream run but how many horses get a dream run and do nothing? Facts are she has run very well both runs this time in and no reason why she cannot improve again, she really doesn't have to improve all that much, in the past you have had the stand out mares like More Joyous, Red Tracer, Steps in Time, Streama and Appearance but this is a very even bunch, anyone of about 10 could win this race, will likely come down to who gets the best run and there is no reason why Star Fashion will not get a gun run again.

All true, but I think she probably needs another length.
