Wish it was pay 1-2-3

If this was an 8 horse field and a pay 1-2-3 event I would be a lot more confident but alas it's pay 1-2 and I'll nibble anyway. Operational, that old cat as I'm sure many refer to him. I think hes actually been ticking over quite nicely and can surprise the more favoured opponents. His run behind Dubai Escapade coming down the middle from last was highly encouraging and then he was caught 3 deep on the speed throughout behind Properantes and given absolutely no hope behind Bedamijo in the A.T.A. Missed out on a Cup run as first emergency and in the small field here at $17 I'm willing to play. Putting him on top as value. Don'tgetcaught was given every possible chance to win last start and was out stayed by Dark Alert making it quite a questionable form reference. Pike goes on, obviously a big plus but up to 2350m which is a questionmark and into $1.90 which is way too short. Happy to risk him and play Operational. Cougar Express is a true stayer, he should find the fence and roll along out in front controlling the tempo and giving a decent kick at the top of the straight.

Does anyone have any photos of this meeting? I really want a photo of Saker winning, one of my personal favourites. But can't find any anywhere and Western Racepix don't sell individual images digitally.

Mitchell? - i thought he went a bit late :-? I thought he may have. I had a good return on the race but pity Drum didn't get fourth.

obviously you were on the winner swoop :) will watch the replay later but thought 1 out 2 back the trip - fanned on the turn and had a clear run to the post - didn't have a single **** in front of it to run into as usual ;)

Saker won as the ride was inch perfect for mine. Not sure if Mitchell went late as wasn't watching but he was always going to have to wait for Drum to drop off, (who actually fought on really well.) Next time for him.
