Harder for North Ridge

Selections

.

.

.

I was all over North Ridge second-up and the money certainly came for him when he swept round the field three wide with cover and put rivals to the sword in a Game of Thrones style slaughter. Rises 1.5kg to 59 and meets main rivals Muskets at Dawn 1.5kg and Outlaw Pete 2kg worse at the weights. Happy enough to have the talented son of Danehill Express on top again but very wary of the weight swings and I'll bank my last start winnings rather than re-investing. Outlaw Pete's final furlong suggested he is back on top of his game and will be very hard to hold out. Muskets At Dawn will roll forwards and shouldn't have to spend a penny in running, there looks a lack of genuine pace allowing Mitchell to control the tempo out in front. Crystal Gardens is potentially the value play after getting a cheap kill in Albany and meets Muskets At Dawn and Zoetomtaya significantly better at the weights for narrow recent defeats. Socially Unique is a talented type rising sharply in grade but can easily figure in a very open and competitive race.

The cat and whatever his reason for stopping it from winning has cost me close to a 5 grand payout from different multis I've spent $145 on! I can tell you if I ever meet the bloke in person or anyone close to him I'll be sure to let him know about it! And the...

My issue is not how he rode the horse out as it came home like a train, rather how long it took him to make the run. I agree. Waited far too long to make his run. Why was it behind horses for so long ?
