Lankan Rupee: Very strong trial, looks much more forward than last prep. Query for me is whether 1200m is his best distance rather than the 1000m. Top class horse. Expect to sit on the back of Deep Field and have the last shot or outside of Deep Field.
Watermans Bay: Good horse who recorded a close 2nd in WFA-G1 company last prep and then won over 1400m. 1000m looks too sharp and the Newmarket is most likely the target.
Fab Fevola: This is his distance, no further wanted. Tough weight to carry against these but found his first win in 25 rides last start. Payne on is a query for mine, but he will be able to get a lead, should be left alone out the front to go what he needs to do with his 1 gear and you just never know. I believe in miracles.
The Quarterback: Good horse in listed and BM company. Up to 58.5kg here… hasn’t had to handle the weight and in this class. Can’t see him going close.
Deep Field: All the money has been for him and I agree that 1000m looks more his distance than the 1200m, so i can see why they want to be on him. Flying in trials and trackwork and hard to beat. Will they lead today? Will the speed hurt his chances?
Brazen Beau: Will be taking a sit today and have the last shot at them. I have to say that 1000m looks too sharp for me. Good horse, but 1200m is ideal distance not 1000m.
Comments: Class over query for mine here. Can’t look past Lankan Rupee for mine. Yes, I will be having a go at Fab Fevola also, 100% biased on that one.
Confidence 75%
Quaddie Leg Two: 1, 5
Strategy: Lankan Rupee to win.
