I'm happy to be aboard the big Black Tom gelding Dragonlead in this wide open stayers event. Has endured an interrupted preparation fighting off a hoof abscess and will be sporting the dreaded Bar Plates on both Fronts. His run behind Maussane last week at Pinjarra was enormous, marching 3 and 4 deep from the 1000m improving from last, copped a decent shirtfront rounding the home bend and was pushed towards the outside running rail where the 1000m Pinjarra straight sprinters like it. Drawn to get a much softer run in transit he will see out the 2200m with ease. Meets stablemate Saxy Grace 1.5kg better at the weights after being beaten a long head on May 31st and looks nice eachway value at 10s. Lucciola rises 2kg on her last start victory but with the claim for Lucy Warwick still only carry 54kg which is a feather weight. Won impressively over 2100 so the extra ground shouldn't be a problem, drawn awkwardly but if Warwick can get a spot in running with some cover then she is the obvious danger and deserving favourite. Winning form is good form and she has landed 4 in a row. Goldfields galloper Just A Falcon was tailed off last start at the 800m and shot up along the rails late in the race making considerable ground. He does tend to get a long way back in running so the big field will make it tough but hard to ignore his turn of foot. Jarrad Noske takes the ride and expect further improvement from him.

Sheidel was backed and ridden like a good thing. Ran into a pretty smart one unfortunately for her.

3 lenghts better? How do you set that? They started beside each other, raced beside each other, and finished beside each other. I'd definitely say the ride was the difference........ Oh, and the 6kg.

Kennedy just gave Carbery a riding lesson Are you serious, a riding lesson??  how do you figure that?? Rebel King should have won by 3 lengths over Sheidel, the fact that he was only able to JUST win shows who gave who a lesson. Kennedy had a 3+ l...

Wes Cameron was not far off with Timebomb, he has been on a roll with good odds horses lately and always pays to put his tips in the novelties.
