R4. Jade Tiger Abalone Handicap - 1 January 1970

Breaking the Drought
Operational is definitely showing signs of returning to his very best form which would see him mighty hard to hold out in this moderate 72+ event. Chased hard behind Dubai Escapade and off the back of a soft run behind a Zinger Burger Hot and Spicy tempo set by Dashing Dan Miller aboard Successful Spin and noted front running type Cougar Express I think at $13 he is worth an eachway ticket. The Forgotten One was only grinding behind Tonto last start but will be improved for his first career outing over a trip. Adam Durrant is the best trainer of stayers in the state and you can expect sharp improvement from him. Tonto broke his long run of outs with his first victory since 2013. Should get a cosy run up along the rails and can definitely go on with it here. Savanarola boasts the most attractive group of owners in the state however does find it hard to win at Ascot, with only 1 win from 10 starts. Couldn't get warm over 1800m in the Ascot Gold Cup but this should be a genuine test of staying ability with #GwanDanny running them along. Expecting a top half finish from the big blotchy grey.

Concern expressed about the firmness of the track on Super Saturday....don't know a whole lot about it but terms like "concrete" used and, it seemed to me, justifiable concern about soreness, jarring up etc. Well both Watermans and Magnificio backed up okay al...

Good work Darkhorse. Refreshing to read a positive comment about Ascot. I haven't been out there for a short while but will get out there in the very near future when time of work presents me with the opportunity.

I should add credit to O'Donnell for a clever ride yesterday.Credit also to H Bomber with those selections. Ripper Red was a very good run.

LW is a great "sit and steer" hoop. IMHO the best in this state. If she's on the best handicapped ( under our current pathetic system) horse in a race most times she will get it home.Doesn't seem to shine as much in competitive races when the pressure is on an...

Best for me also is Watermans Bay. Best each way Ive had a crack at Ripper Red in the last at $12. Found every bit of trouble possible last start and it is hard not to be seduced after watching the replay a few times. Main multi : Stocks PLACE into W...
