R8. 5 Saturdays Of Summer - $5 Only Handicap - 1 January 1970

In the Pontiff we trust
Putting my faith in The Pontiff, Paul Harvey to carry me home in the last aboard Django. I thought his last start effort flying late behind Antique Dream was very impressive. Glenn Smith couldn't make his mind up after jumping fairly, initially pushing forwards to 3 deep midfield before restraining to 3 deep last where the horse really resented being held back, pulling like an inform Shaun Marsh. Once they straightened for home and he balanced up he came home with a really strong finsh. Prior form behind Goldbo and Reflectance holds up well with the latter winning two in a row since. With Harvey on he should be able to box seat in barrier 1 and provided he gets a run at the right time I think he can prove too strong here. Happy to play at around the $8 mark, with a places bias in case he is held up. Saker you can almost certainly pencil in again for second. Finished bridesmaid at a remarkable 8 of 13 career starts, certainly a wallet burner for any favourite backers. Rodeo Drive seems to have turned a corner and should be rock hard fit on the weeks back up from an 1800m back down to a mile. Expecting Danish Delight to settle further back than last start and pretty confident that the winner will come from one of those 4 so they're the horses I'll play in the final leg of the quaddie. PTT Quaddie Club: Fld / 1,5 / 2,3,4,5,7,9 / 2,4,6,9 - $100 = 23%

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.
