    Karrakatta - will wait for the barrier draw - but thought from working in the breeze was a good gutsy win by "Roll Over" Beethoven.

    Also up outside the leader in the fillies event was Amelia's On Fire she battled away quite well - if either of those two draw well should be right in it.

    Rio Del Mar and Niccovi also look good, looks a favourites race - Dig Deep also ran on ok after a slow start.

    The ride by Chris Parnham on Rio Del Mar outstanding, see he got the underrated He's A Parker up at Bunbury. One of the best hoops in Australia imo.

    Also talking of two year old race's and jockeys - Golden Slipper winner Damian Lane also one of the best hoops in Australia. Willy Pike, Damian Oliver, Lane and Parnham all as good as I've seen anywhere.

    Definitely getting on Prim and Proper. Carrying an extra 2.5 kgs to Rio Del mar in the gimcrack. Has previously beaten Beethoven. At 54.5kg, she’s gonna fly home.

    There are some pretty exciting 2YO’s!

    Oaks- would be nuts not to consider Jedaffair

    Derby- Regal Power or Platoon with a cheeky bet on Utgard Loki

    I'm on Jericho Missile and Regal Power in the Karrakatta and Derby.

    I'm going for the third stringer in Vinaceous in the Oaks. I think it's primed

    Prim n Proper got galloped on last start, needed 10 stitches i heard. Not the ideal preparation for the KK. Must have missed some work you'd think

    Not sure if you mean she’s injured or you’re saying she’s not good enough. Hard to tell with all the race jargon ????

    Injured Dharris. Horse behind her struck her legs hence the terminology galloped on

    Oh really?? She looked sound after the race. Does your source know if she will still run in the plate? 10 stitches sounds nasty.

    Sorry mate I didn't post the original message only describing the term galloped on to you. Flanders might be the man to ask that. should be in the stewards report though about her being galloped on

    Always a cracker of a race, settling on -
    1. Amelia's On Fire
    2. Rio Del Mar
    3. Beethoven
    4. Jericho Missile

    Two "smokey's"- like the way Dig Deep finished off previous run and don't be surprised if this gal comes from the clouds - Spacegirl.

    riders, I reckon JM is next to a good thing as you'll get in a tough race.
    I am a bit biased as my fav. greyhound person, Linda Britten is a part owner...

    Think can back a few to beat the Missile but he's a danger alright. He'll run a clear cut favourite. Leaning ever so slightly to taking him on.

    Good Collingwood supporter is Jason Brown @piker so must be a good fellow! He's been around awhile now ( like quite a few of them, was just saying the other day ) but he's stood the test of time as a hoop.

    Noticed most of the money at this stage seems to be for Jerricho Missile and Rio Del Mar, with Beethoven being a big drifter out to over double figures. Spacegirl 25/1 in places.

    Joe Bowditch to rode Beethoven - that's an interesting move. He's had some good success at Ascot.

    Jarrad Noske's mount getting out to 12/1 from barrier two - if ever a jockey can get a horse to "Dig Deep" it's him!

    There's been very very few hoops in decades of following the game that will or won't back - but he's one am always reticent to leave out. Shown by the Sebring horse the other day - can get a roughie or two home.
