This is an intriguing little race for the 3 year olds with many on a Guineas preparation stepping up to 1400m. The favourite Minus Looks has undeniable ability having won both of his career starts to date, however, could not have enjoyed a more economical run last start when tracking up behind the leader Caipriniah and then easing off her heels over the final 200m to reel her in. Unlikely to get as cosy a run here and we will get to see just how good he is. Royal Missile has solid form around Bonny Be Good who has stamped herself as one of the better 3 year olds in the state so far this preparation. Will get back on a potentially leader bias track which is the major concern. Variation was beaten a long way by Swift Platinum but hit the line well to suggest 1400m would be to his liking. Should get a soft run from the inside. Sunset Pete is still a maiden but looks the leader and can kick.

mostly from horses that led and weakened over shorter distances, and then stepped up in distance, and of course they normally lead again, but at a much more relaxed tempopeople are so good at misconstruing that.they tend to think if you weaken at shorter it's ...

Carey, Your comment above took me a long time to learn theoretically. And then it happened a few times with horses I owned. Obviously it is not a rule but I reckon you are spot on.One of the biggest misconceptions in horse racing.

when i cared, there were numerous factors to do with pace and positioning.but basically handy is best at any track over any distance, in any type of race.statistics prove it is so.which is why i reckon pike's record would be better if he was allowed to ride th...

Ok. thanks for responding. I tend to only want to back the fillies and colts at WFA or middle distances when they go forward. I heard Craig Williams saying this morning that he expected Yankee Rose to go back in the CP because when she went forward she failed ...

i have no idea what it would have done on the dry.i didn't think it could win before the race, and the fact that it ended up heavy means that i may have been right in the dry, but we will never know.delicay might not have done as well either.it was only an 180...

@Carey Do you think Perfect Reflection would have beaten Delicacy home on a dry track if they were in the same position as they were on that track? The intention was always to go back before the rain arrived on race day.

and in that race(KT) the pace was massive, where leaders had buckleys and none.how much did you win on that rodent? I tend to think tempo is less important when the track is in the heavy range-it becomes more about finding the better ground and building mom...

Never known a horse like Flytego.As soon as he gets to Ascot he puts in.To the naked eye I thought he had run 2nd and was raging once they put the numbers up on Sky.Thankfully he got on the podium, just..
