Best Bet Randwick r7 Gingernuts; Day 1 of The Championships and The Kiwi's have a massive say in this years Australian Derby. NZ Derby Winner Gingernuts looped them from well back first up in Australia and beat them arrogantly. Back up in trip and wet conditions only make me more confident. How could you not go for a horse named Gingernuts.
Randwick r6 Frolic; Hard to see the Golden Slipper form not be the right form for the sires. Frolic beat the slipper winner two starts ago albeit finding the right part of the track, then franked it by coming home like a steam train to run 2 in the slipper. Tulip was the other mammoth slipper run caught wide and still attacking the line for 3rd like 1400m will suit. Tulip draws 2 which probably doesn't help today while Frolic draws out.
Locally I must say the fields are pretty disappointing including the Karrakatta and Oaks. SEANNIE is probably our only genuine above average 2yo however barrier 2 and A Mitchell counts me out as a betting proposition. My favouritehorse at the moment Man Booker should win again but is too short with the 59kgs.
Ascot r6 Sweet Ora; Always cautious with short priced fav's first up but has a clear class edge on her rivals. $2.30 currently is as short as I would accept.
