Best Bet Mooney Valley r3 Tarquin : Team Hartnell get a cox plate warm up with Tarquin running over the cox plate trip tonight. Last start third to Real Love who ran a good race in the Caulfield Cup should have him cherry ripe for this assignment. With plenty of rain around maybe wait til just before jump in case the track deteriorates into the really soft range which dampens my confidence. Mad Bookie has a promo offer on the race.
Tonights Group 1 Manikato is the highlight , I am of the opinion that Chautauqua is too inconsistent to follow, on his day he blows them away but his first up run was flat as which he has done before. Buffering looks to get a picnic out in front. LDR will concentrate on the quaddie to have an interest in the race.
