Yet another small field and yet another short priced favourite in the likes of Blackwood. Returns after a short let up and quite a dissapointing (and money burning) last campaign. It is a massive drop in class for the blackfriars filly but will need to lug the 58.5kg for the first time in her career. I feel the early price of $1.50 is way too short that there is value elsewhere. She will not be seeing any more of my money that's for sure as she emptied my pockets faster than my last appearance at the strippers. The value runner in the race, and where my money will be, is the Magnus gelding in Great Shot. 2 wins from 3 starts and a good 2nd in Saturday company behind Glitterbell, with the addition of blinkers I feel he can upset this short priced favourite and is a very good each way bet. The Blue Nipper won well last start and will look like a definite chance halfway down the straight. Blackwood on top, however Great Shot the Value.

I would have suggested Spangled Impact, but even her times were not fantastic looking towards a Karrakatta Plate. She would want to improve considerably. 2YO's need to be running low 1.05's over 1100M to be considered a threat in a KK. 1.07 on a track rate...

Well that's the reason I ask in the first place. But most years, the eventual good 2YO's and thereafter, haven't emerged by this time.

if its the best so far.. who is going to be the threat then Damien? I think Trademark might come on after its win a few weeks back.

agree regarding Spangled Impact. Maybe we haven't seen the best 2yo's come out to play yet?

Spangled Impact is the best 2yo so far

In the 2YO race, they didn't break the minute, and the last 600M wasn't particularly fast either. So could any of the smarter types on here let me know if any 2YO's so far this season have impressed, or are they at this stage just a bit pedestrian ? I just kee...
