R4. Western Australia Cup - 1 January 1970
|
Massive Ask
For Tower of Lonhro to carry 59kg over 3200m and win would be an incredible achievement and it's impossible not to tip him after his barnstorming finish in the Pinjarra Cup. From barrier 6 Pike should be able to bury him away for the first mile of the race and give him the economical run he requires to unleash that powerful turn of foot late. Danny Miller reunites with Kirov Boy and as long as he doesn't get blocked in on the rails early from barrier 3 will be sliding forwards and finding the lead a lot easier than he has in recent runs. If Dashing Dan can grab a breather mid-race and really throw the anchor out before he puts the accelerator down then Kirov Boy should be able to put his customary 4 or 5 length break on them and leading them into the home corner. Ran a really genuine race in this event last year proving that he can stay the 3200 and should give backers a sight. Throwing up an absolute maddie in Battle King. Only 1 win from 22 starts and no other placings but I think he can be that one-paced grinder who sits third or fourth up on the speed and whack away into a placing at ridiculously big odds.

agree they went too hard upfront, just look at the second last and last horse before the bend and where they finished, Culverin & KOK flew home into the placings, that wouldn't have been possible if the pace upfront wasn't so hot

As somebody mentioned earlier KOK fair dinkum dawdled out of the barriers.The new whip rules may not suit a horse like him. He needs stoking up! Former great jockey Rod Kemp would be a perfect fit to ride.
