R1/ Even before the fave was scratched, I was v keen on Great Charade. I really like the sire; then there is the Group 1 trainer and the top jockey.
I am hoping after his v unlucky run last start that he can just jump, run and win.
R2/ Here is another difficult maiden; i'll be watching only.
R/3 I am hoping that my initial judgment that Prize Catch is a 1400m horse only is wrong. I cannot see him being caught 3 wide. I hope he can finish off hard as he has done before.
R/4 Gee I really hope Stevie can win on Discoville. A return to past form would be good.
R/5 Salorsci for me here; he looks tuned up for it with a recent good barrier trial win. I really like the jockey and the horse is lightly raced and has run great times before.
R/6 Here is another great fillies and mares race. Fred Kersley has 2 of the faves and they are both 3yo's. Stevie is on Necklet; last run was stunning with a great last sectional. I was looking at the Blonde mare but just thought she may not have the class (she loves the distance though).
I finally settled on Blackline. Maybe she has been looking for this distance. If she is to be in the finish she would have to settle up front or on speed.
I think she can do it in this field and distance.
R7/ Here is the 3200m raffle. But generally a horse has to have a special liking for this distance. That makes me think of Dubai Escapade and Sunset Superman (2 of the most difficult trainers to read in WA).
R8/ I am on to Action here; last run v v impressive and strong at the end. W Pike is due for a Group listed win.
I think Wes was spitting chips after Media Baron ran 4th last time; the horse is blowing in the betting; amazing place odds.
Money Maher has never looked like a stayer to me and I cannot have the girls (famous last words).
Tellem we're Coming was a plodding run last time but... look at the riding change!
R9/ Here is a v even lot. If you ignore the last run Minus Looks is a certainty. I'm Liam'd out. Lorentinio has great promise. Point keeps coming up at shorter odds than I estimate. I give Rotana Beach a chance as he keeps running on well and ..look at the jockey.
Well, as always Good Luck to all in the 4 legged lottery.

Money for Money Mahar this morning (excuse the pun) into $4.60 fixed.
From memory, the step up from 2200m to 2400m sees to have found out alot of the Natasha winners
The exception is Boom Time, who after failing in the Derby went on to win the Caulfield Cup!
I had a good win on him that year in the Natasha (sat 3 wide with S. McGruddy aboard).
The biggest problem was he came up against Delicacy. She could have been a superstar if it’s wasn’t for her injuries.
First barrier trial win equaled Valour Road time! Then 2nd trial was not as fast and not as impressive.
Now the blinkers are going on (I can never work out his horses anyway!).
HE also didn’t win the Natasha - it’s a filly’s race

@piker probably thinking of the Melvista?
The Boo Time 'failure' in the derby was just me talking through my pocket!
Great finish. Prize Catch by a whisker.

He was scratched from a more than winnable race for this and his last two runs have been tough plus I think he wants longer.
Huge run from last Media Baron..If it runs WILL win the WA cup next year :D
