Ripping ground off them
Another very even contest but this time one I'm keen to play in. Ripper Red has been simply sensational this preparation and I'm going to mark him as the best bet on the card. First-up third at Northam was electric coming from well off them he found trouble at every possible chance and still mananged to jag third. Second-up a powerful winner of the Provincial Sprinters final and then last start was mowing turf late when running into third behind Volkoff and Heavy Set. Ran the fastest final 600m and really was flying late. With Fuld's Bet likely to roll along out in front and sporting those (n)ever popular Bar Plates I think she will be left a sitting duck for Ripper Red to make it 3 wins from 25 starts and really begin a transition through the grades to a genuine Saturday sprinter. Jumping on hard and expecting him to Rip them apart. Wicked Hunter is a hard one to catch and may well be better suited dropping back to 1200m here. Barrier 1 a major concern for a get back type horse. Fuld's Bet the obvious and only leader. Bar Plates were added to gear last start before she was scratched so I assume they are still on which is enough for me to stay clear.

Does anyone have any photos of this meeting? I really want a photo of Saker winning, one of my personal favourites. But can't find any anywhere and Western Racepix don't sell individual images digitally.

Mitchell? - i thought he went a bit late :-? I thought he may have. I had a good return on the race but pity Drum didn't get fourth.

obviously you were on the winner swoop :) will watch the replay later but thought 1 out 2 back the trip - fanned on the turn and had a clear run to the post - didn't have a single **** in front of it to run into as usual ;)

Saker won as the ride was inch perfect for mine. Not sure if Mitchell went late as wasn't watching but he was always going to have to wait for Drum to drop off, (who actually fought on really well.) Next time for him.
