Great call mate

Nice call. I knew the only thing that would beat Watsdachances was a Euro. The 2yo Euro's are hard to gauge every year. Spring Venture was totally overbet.

Cheers guys! Although it was probably more luck than judgement!

Tough call in this next race... Executiveprivelege looks a solid bet from a good draw but she is too short for me, so while Im going to sit this one out I would be tempted with either Spring In The Air or Dreaming of Julia, probably just favouring the latter.

I'm thinking a closer has to win this race. If Spring In The Air likes dirt she'll win. I'm betting she doesn't. The post parade just revealed she has the same high stepping strut Zenyatta had. I like Dreaming Of Julia to rate off the pace to win today. Stonestreet Stables has a group of horses that almost rival my SO5 barn. :lol:

The next race is even tougher... I have it between four - Zagora, The Fugue, Nahrain & Marketing Mix.

The Fugue is a little too short for me and while the draw on paper is a good one, it depends on how Buick will try and ride her. If he gets shuffled back then I cant see her winning.

Im not convinced by the ground on Nahrain and her draw makes it a little tougher.

Zagora is well drawn, looked a little unlucky LTO and should relish conditions.

Marketing Mix sounds as if the race set up for her last time and doesnt have the greatest of draws but again the ground should suit.

I think I will probably go with Zagora.

:D 6/1 just seemed too big
anyway main event time
if the fugue is on her game
just of case of how far buick wants to win by
nothing in that race can beat her
