R1. Crown Towers Plate - 1 January 1970

This is an intriguing clash to start the day between impressive trialler turned debut winner Delaney and the proven class of Dainty Tess. Dainty Tess deserves favouritism having won 5 of her 11 starts to date and finishing runner up on 4 other occasions. She has banked nearly $350 000 including Westspeed Bonus and has form around Sweet Ora and The Celt. She is first-up without a trial fresh off an 80 day let up and the only question mark over her is the ability to carry 58.5kg. With Damien Oliver in the saddle I am sure many will answer that question with a resounding yes and she is clearly the one to beat. Delaney looks as though she will fire straight to the fence and is definitely capable of running time. If the hot dry conditions suit leaders which I expect they will then Delaney will take some beating. Those two well clear of the rest.

Suggested Bet

Not one horse from the first six in running broke 35sec for the last 600m but those coming from the back did. The first two didn't stop but those that did caused traffic issues for the swoopers and that is the price you pay for getting back. Yes any of the clo...

ridden better (i.e - given some small glimmer of hope at least) and it figures in the finish IMHO.Maybe there is excuses :-?? , however it had no real chance of winning from where he parked it.Horse got home quicker than anything else

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I tend to think that running State Solicitor in the Gr 1 was 12 months too early. In doing so, I hope that Bob Peters hasn't flattened him to the point where he just makes up numbers in high quality fields in the next couple of years.

Didn't help any of FAE, Rock Magic or State Solicitor having to get around Bob's 2 100/1 pops who were just clogging up the field. Bob might have harmed his own chances on this occasion. Thinking exactly the same when watching the replays. Maybe they got all...

Agree. The 3 locals finishing on were all big. To me the race seemed much like the Railway - the visiting jocks going forward and controlling it - the local riders never really in it. The last 2 weeks have really shown up the gap between the ES and overseas r...
