Gear Changes: None
1. Mister Milton: Very good run last start at Flemington. Was blocked for runs when he was flying.. i tell you what… if he repeats that today, he could bolt in.
2. Real Time: Disappointing last start at Pakenham well beaten after the first up win. Has the ability obviously.
5. Volontiers: Two wins in a row and is a very consistent type this prep. Ran a 0.8L 2nd in 3YO class also. Have to consider.
6. Epic Saga: Found little first up. Looking for further than this.
7. Kayjay’s Joy: Not a load of speed on last start at Caulfield and she benefited with a front running ride on the bias to run down Danestroem. Similar class today.
8. Sir Berus: Three runs this prep in similar class and yet to place. Struggle to suggest the improvement.
9. Staviva: Around the mark as a 3YO and first two runs this prep won quite well. Not sure the form out of the first race has measured up is the issue. Can only beat what you beat.
10. Petite Diablesse: Good run from the back behind Kayjay last start and previous run 6th to Madam Gangster was good also. Has a win in the next 2-3 runs that’s for sure.
11. Tashbeeh: Disappointingly didn’t finish over them first up… but Tashbeeh clearly wants further than 1200m. 3YO winner over this distance.
12.Belorum: Hasn’t come back the same horse just yet. Needs another run.
Comments: Tough race with several improvers in it. Tashbeeh is the clear class runner while Mister Milton is the one dropping back from top grade today and is huge odds.
Confidence 70%
Strategy: Backing both Tashbeeh and Mister Milton.
