R2. Perth Ice Works WA St. Leger - 1 January 1970

Balmont Girl and Real Love certainly add interest to the St Leger
Hasnt the decision to start Balmont Girl and Real Love in this race added some interest to what would have been a fizzer if we had only the other five starters, we now have a small but pretty good field to tackle the St Leger. It does look a match between these two for the first prize this afternoon, and they both look to have very good prospects. In the end will go for Balmont Girl who has been in spectacular form this campaign, the only blemish was in the Kingston Town and there were excuses that day, she has probably come back better than ever this campaign, and will get every chance here in the small field, she is really well suited under the set weight conditions of this race today. Real Love is the current Perth Cup favorite and has been racing in wonderful form lately, she was dominant in winning the Queens Cup a couple of weeks ago and it is hard to split these two today, what should happen is a great race up the straight and a close finish. Respondent has been slightly down on his Derby winning form from his last campaign its fair to say, but the rise to 2100 metres does look to suit. Vital Edition is in good form as well and adds something to this race with his recent form.

I will add, though that I hope Bob Peters thinks long and hard when considering an Autumn campaign for Disposition. It would be awfully hard to resist an Australian Guineas-Australian Cup campaign but the way Ihtsahymn has dropped off from last year is a worry...

Having watched the replay of the Cox Stakes I think the only way Steven Parnham erred on Ihtsahymn was that he didn't hold his position when Pike crowded him in the home straight on Elite Belle before taking his run over the closing stages. Parnham then had to...

I was close in my prediction. Mr Moet - 59kg Ihtsahymn - 58.5kg Chester Road - 58kg Balmont Girl - 57kg Remainder - 54kg Real Love on the 54kg minimum will start a very short priced favourite
