Gee, how many mares did Sword Of State serve last season New Zealand Bloodstock seems to have half of Book 2. Poor bloke would have been exhausted.

Very interested in team Hulbert taking their good filly Lady Of Five down to Melbourne, remember the early days of following Peter Hulbert and he wouldn't take them to town on a Saturday unless he believed they were a live chance. Not even sure if they have raced one in Melb?

Kiws have unearthed a 3yo star (aus bred I know) Well Written is very raw, but very good.

See if the wraps are deserving for Guest House, liked the topweight and High Alert (when you could get $5.50)

Observer could be the very classy Derby winner we have lacked in Aus for a long time Caulf Guineas into Rosehill Guineas into possible open WFA start in Sydney looks ideal.

Wow that ride on Hedged was a horror show, just sat there and hoped a gap would open.

Pretty ordinary ASM again this year. I think set up looks perfect for Tom Kitten, just probably wanted $5.00 but I would have him on top. Think Sabaj can outrun its odds at $3.50 plc and that probably tells us what kind of race it is.

The racing from NZ today looks to be the best card I have seen for a for while. Stacked fields with some established horses, a few on the up and a possible superstar.

Credit where credit due. $2.20 vs $14.00 and they finished side by side. Pretty decent analysis this.

Travolta $3.00 Canberra Cup looks almost bet of the weekend. Have him about $2.30. Sam Hawkins 54kg off his euro form the concern but he has been bog average his 2 in AUS.

Got the win but I dont think Aeliana beats Sir Delius again this prep.

Victorius Spirit possible fly in the ointment in the match race?

$4.20 Dubai Honour looks a great price Tancred, came through traffic and won this race easily last year and probably should have won the QE with any luck ( 3 wide no cover the trip to the turn the 4-5 wide from turn beaten less than 2L and closing)

Find the price difference interesting between the 2 x kiwi fillies in the Vinery. I have Belle Cheval body of work ratings wise stronger coming into their last runs, she runs Well Written to a whisker, Ohope Wins wins the oaks. Ohope now has to come back to 2000m.

Haggis camp would be stoked to hear POJ heading to the QE. Exactly what he needs, something to chase and a hot tempo.

This is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard, in other words, he just wants a boat race for her every time.

Hate to be a killjoy but gee the Doncaster has fallen away this year. Only 16 acceptors and no real class runners at the head of the field. G3 winner Headingly Grange finds himself at near the pointy end of the weights. The 3yo's don't have much to beat.

My day at Randwick, think Canadian Ruler a good EW bet in country championship as well.

Have a feeling Gringotts running 1/2 head 4th is going to hurt soon.

Green Spaces was a dominant win but those talking it up as a Cups horse in a spring forget that the Derby is one of the worst ever form references for our spring majors and has been for many years.
