Why Mitchell????

Selections

On paper it looks as though Cougar Nights will meet Proceedwithcaution 5kg better at the weights BUT Aaron Mitchell's minimum riding weight is 56kg meaning he will only claim 0.5kg of his 3kg allowance and so Cougar Nights only meets Proceedwithcaution 2.5kg better, a significant difference. The obvious question being, why put Mitchell on? But back to the race, I was super impressed with Back to A Walk's run last run where he charged home late and looked as if he was returning to his best form which would see him super competitive here. Should drift back and hit the line with gusto. Proceedwithcaution was heavily supported when winning last start and can make it back to back wins without surprising but tipping favourites gets old quickly, unless you're in the tabform. Petrol Power is the class galloper of the field and his first-up run behind the inform Flytego was excellent.

And no mention of change of tactics for Hally's mount? Has come from almost last at it's recent starts. And yes, I am probably talking through my kick.

Last race was a disgrace. Forget half of them went round. No mention by the stripes in regard to Hall slowing the speed dramatically at the 1200. If he keeps rolling the stewards report wouldn't have been a full page long imo...

So knuckey gets 15 days for the last race and Kennedy gets 12 days for the first race!?!?!?!? Did Knuckey not just come back from a suspension? Hes been riding one of mine but couldnt last start due to suspension. Sure did. That's where this scenario is ...

It really is piss weak that the duration of the suspensions are that short in my opinion. If the wombats here are trying to emulate their far far far superior colleagues in nsw and vic they are wrong again. There are a lot less meetings here wombats so maybe...
