R3. The Fleet West Handicap - 1 January 1970
|
First-up Speculation
Scrappy little race here with only 8 in the field and a muddling bunch of speedsters and swoopers. I've ended up popping Dawn Approach on top, not with any confidence at all. This is not a race I'll be getting invested in and if I was to have a play in the race it would be to Lay Man Booker who I think will struggle at this distance in this type of company. Dawn Approach doesn't have the greatest of first-up records but looks relatively well weighted with only 58.5 after the claim for Randy Tan. Should account for most of these on class alone and could get a handy run midfield. Not a whole lot between the Miller pair Ron's Call and War Prince but if I was pressed to split them I'd be in the War Prince corner. Zuccheros flopped badly first-up but is a bleeder so there's always excuses around. He can be the sharp improver second-up ridden cold for one last crack at them. Petrol Power is chipping away towards another victory but does lack that killer blow. Longma looks out-gunned on his two runs to date while New Time's rating certain catches up with him in this class.

Agree with you assessment of Pike's ride on Star Exhibit. Started to make an earlier run but changed his mind. Then got caught napping and was left flat footed. I think our jockeys forget that they are riding horses and not cars. Can't just hit accelerator whe...

Nice preview, the tips are from Wednesday though :)Race 4 Star Exhibit - is the Perth bet of the day in my opinion. Has come back fantastically well this prep and the step to 1800m is ideal and logical. $2.70. Race 6 Showy Chloe – Back to 1400m for ...

And full credit to CJP for doing so. Think he rode all his mounts as positive as possible today and he has reaped the reward for doing so.

In hindsight I'm sure Parnham wished he had gone forward as he jumped on terms with Star Bay who ended up outside the leader and held second. All ancient history now though. CJP took the bull by the horns and got the chocolates

Disagree. Think Parnham would have been much better off going forward than restraining it early.Don't mean to have a got at him in particular and of course he was probably riding to instruction, but to me jockeys in general do that far to often when the option...

Taking nothing away from the winner as the other jocks let CJP get away with it but race 7 was like watching trackwork. Painful if you were on Ripper Rio Had every chance. Got a nice trail into it. Coming off a maiden win, bearing a mate of mine 's horse...
