Just How Good Is He?
This should give us a genuine indication of just how good Just Act Natural is. Was relatively slow away last start but was able to quickly muster pace and lead from his inside draw. Barrier 11 here makes things a little tougher but there doesn't look to be any real challengers for the lead and I expect Smith to slide over from the wide alley and find the fence again. From there he controls the race and probably wins. Carrying 59kg, tackling 1200m for the first time at Ascot, conceeding weight to every other runner and drawn the outside, I think there are enough questionmarks to go wide in this leg of the quaddie and hope for a result. I'll be including Le Patron, Patrimonio, Black Dynamite, Pushin' Shapes, Showy Chloe and High Tea as blowout hopes. The favourite could easily lead and win but there are some very handy types at juicy prices right behind him.

The cat and whatever his reason for stopping it from winning has cost me close to a 5 grand payout from different multis I've spent $145 on! I can tell you if I ever meet the bloke in person or anyone close to him I'll be sure to let him know about it! And the...

My issue is not how he rode the horse out as it came home like a train, rather how long it took him to make the run. I agree. Waited far too long to make his run. Why was it behind horses for so long ?
