Tower of Strength

I'd love to put "that old cat" Gladstone on top but I just can't catch him, every time I back him to win he runs second. Tower of Lonhro bucked the odds last start and carried the 61.5kg to victory with relative ease. With in-form apprentice Jordan Turner aboard he carries that again and is looking for 4 on the bounce. $4.40 eachway is a big price in a field that lacks depth. Gladstone is a wallet burner from way back and could well go down as favourite for a sixth time. Ask Me Nicely was weighted to win last start and definitely should have gone close, Jake Casey found Bangkok type traffic and couldn't get clear, meets rivals much worse at the weights and O'Donnell is aboard Ram Jam, tough to tip him on top.

I just think that he has a lot on his plate. Maybe he could use some break.

great to see them win a double, they back plenty, nice to see them finally get a quid. Pay plenty for them from Messara. I've never seen a stable that changes gear so much

Seems as though the Gangemi team is set for a good Belmont season a double yesterday and a good run from Rowie last week could be the stable to follow. Gango knows what's he doing! Had a bad run of luck up until yesterday!

Always thought restraining would be a problem yesterday. Still a quality animal with plenty of upside.

the old breeders always said an unraced or lightly raced mare was the key. they could be right, just look at the well raced mares who were a dud at stud...and the champion ones who are almost 100% duds.
